Three stops. One relationship.

The Specialist Broking way · Stop 1 of 3

Finance strategy + property research, together

Running total
Week 1–2
Research report: $3k–$5k (flat fee)

Pre-approval and a property research report — one flat fee, not a percentage of your purchase price.

The Specialist Broking way · Stop 2 of 3

Offer time — with the data already in hand

Running total
Week 2–3
Offer submitted — no extra fee

You submit the offer yourself, backed by the report — or use a buyer's agent for just this step.

Offer accepted — conveyancer settles it

Running total
Week 4–5
+$1.5k–$2.5k conveyancing* (*typical fee, same either path)

Same conveyancing step, same fee — that part doesn't change.

Side by side

Same confidence. Fewer stops.

Time to settlement
~8–9 wks (4 stops)
~4–5 wks (3 stops)
Cost on top of your loan
$12k–$20k (buyer's agent)
$3k–$5k (research report)

The conveyancing step is identical either way — the difference is the buyer's agent fee.

Same finance confidence. Same property confidence.

Roughly $7k–$17k and 4 weeks back in your pocket.

To be upfront

The one thing we don't do

Two people shaking hands across a desk

We won't negotiate with the selling agent or bid at auction on your behalf.

That's what a licensed buyer's agent does — representing you in the room or on the phone.

What you get from us: the data and numbers to make the offer yourself, with confidence.

Want backup for just that step? Some buyer's agents offer negotiation-only support for a fee.

Add that to our $3k–$5k report and the total is often still less than a full-service buyer's agent at $12k–$20k+.
