Assess the options and your brief It is crucial to debrief after visits to evaluate if we are on the right track or if we need to change course. By visiting properties, we can refine your criteria, whether it’s the type of property, re-evaluating your budget, or gaining a better understanding of the lifestyle you are looking for. We analyse an asset from an investment standpoint and can provide a fair assessment of its market value. Conduct the negotiations Once we have found the property you wish to purchase, we will act as your advisor and negotiator and will put together a compelling offer to secure it for you.

This is the most important part of the process but often overlooked. There is a lot of work to coordinate between multiple parties. Managing the communications between the sellers, the lawyers, the mortgage broker/banks, the surveyor and yourself is time consuming. In our line of work we need to keep everyone informed and keep the deal moving, no news is not good news. Sales can fall through at this stage if one party or the other becomes frustrated with the lack of progress or communication. We manage the whole process to ensure a smooth transaction.
