Our Buyer's Agency Guarantee
It’s one of the first questions we hear at You&Me Personalised Property Services. As a Brisbane-based buyer’s agency, we believe in straight talk about fees and services, no fancy jargon, just clear information about what you’re paying for and why.
Let’s Talk About Who Pays
The simple fact is that the buyer pays the buyer’s agent. Why? Because we work for you, not the seller. When you hire us, we’re 100% focused on getting the best outcome for you, whether you’re buying in Brisbane, Perth, or anywhere else in Australia. This direct payment structure means we’re completely independent and can negotiate hard on your behalf without any conflicts of interest.
What Your Investment Actually Covers
When clients come to us, they often want to know about our fee structure. The value of a buyer’s agent extends far beyond just finding properties. We’re there at 10:30 on a Tuesday morning when a perfect property comes up, while you’re busy at work. We’re making calls at 7 PM when a negotiation needs to happen right away. We’re reviewing contracts on Sunday afternoons because that’s what it takes to secure the right property in today’s competitive market.
Our professional negotiation skills often save clients more than our fee, something that’s particularly valuable in Brisbane’s current property market. We conduct thorough property inspections with a critical eye, looking for issues that might not be obvious during a quick open-home visit. Through our extensive network, we often access off-market properties that you won’t find advertised anywhere.
Beyond the property search, we manage the entire process of building and pest inspections, ensuring you’re making informed decisions about your purchase. We keep your settlement on track, coordinating with all parties involved to ensure a smooth transaction.
Breaking Down Our Fee Structure
We’ve structured our fees to be straightforward and transparent, because no one likes hidden costs or surprises. Our fixed fee option provides clarity from day one. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we start working together. This approach helps you manage your budget effectively while ensuring you understand that you will receive our full range of services.
Once we find your ideal property, our success fee is paid at settlement. This means that we’re committed to getting real results for you. We’ve structured it this way because we genuinely want to help you succeed in securing the right property at the right price.
The Brisbane Property Market Reality
Our Queensland director, Tiff Collins, brings valuable insights to this discussion. With her background in property law and extensive experience in the Brisbane market, she often compares trying to buy property without professional help to trying to diagnose yourself on the internet versus seeing a doctor. Yes, you could do it yourself, but why would you when you can have a professional in your corner?
Local buyers frequently tell us they wish they’d called us six months earlier. In Brisbane’s current market, waiting three months to buy can cost you an extra 5% on the purchase price. That’s $40,000 on an $800,000 property! It’s significantly more than our buyer’s agent fee. This price growth shows why having an experienced buyer’s agent who can act quickly and decisively is so valuable.
The True Value of Professional Property Help
When you’re making what might be the biggest purchase of your life, having professional representation makes all the difference. We save you countless hours of property searching and inspection time. Our market insights go well beyond what you’ll find online: we know the real stories behind recent sales and have detailed knowledge of different areas’ growth potential.
Our negotiation expertise often proves invaluable. Whether dealing with real estate agents, vendors, or other buyers’ agents, we know how to position your offer for the best chance of success. Throughout the entire buying process, we keep things moving, managing every aspect from the initial search through to settlement.
Working With Interstate and Local Buyers
Whether you’re an interstate investor looking to break into the Brisbane market or a local buyer struggling to find time for property hunting, our approach adapts to your needs. For interstate clients, we act as your eyes and ears on the ground, providing detailed video walkthroughs and area analysis. Local buyers benefit from our ability to attend mid-week inspections and our deep understanding of Brisbane’s micro-markets.
Property Investment Strategy and Support
Beyond just finding and securing properties, we provide strategic advice about property investment. Our team helps you understand market trends, growth potential, and how different properties might perform as investments. This comprehensive approach ensures you’re not just buying a property, but making a sound investment decision.
