Your search is run by the two directors, not handed down

Mike Kaye

Questions people ask before they call
What does the first conversation cost?
Nothing. The first conversation is free, and you decide afterwards whether to go further. If we then work together, our fee is fixed and agreed in writing before we start. It is not a percentage of the price.
Do I need finance approval before I contact you?
No. It helps to have it before you buy, but many clients talk to us first to check that their budget matches the area they want. If it does not, we will tell you, and we can suggest the right time to arrange pre-approval.
What should I tell you about my search?
Where you would like to buy, your rough budget, the kind of home, your timing, and anything that would rule a property out. A few lines is enough. We will ask about the rest when we talk.
Which areas do you cover?
Sydney’s Northern Suburbs: the Northern Beaches from Manly to Palm Beach, the Lower North Shore from Mosman to Lane Cove, and the Upper North Shore from Roseville to Wahroonga. We buy only in these areas, because that is where our local knowledge is.
Can you buy for me if I live interstate or overseas?
Yes. We regularly buy for clients who cannot be here, including Australians living overseas, and some clients buy without seeing the home in person. We meet on Zoom, inspect for you with video walk-throughs, send you the reports and contract advice, and one director stays your contact from the first call to settlement.
Can I buy in Australia if I am not a citizen?
It depends on who is buying. Australian citizens can buy wherever they live. Permanent residents who have spent fewer than 200 days in Australia in the past year, and most other non-citizens, count as foreign buyers: they generally need government approval, and a temporary ban currently stops foreign buyers purchasing established homes. There are important exceptions, including New Zealand citizens living here and couples where one partner is an Australian citizen or resident and the home is bought as joint tenants. We will work through your situation on the first call and point you to the right adviser. This is general information, not legal or tax advice.

Our monthly newsletter
Once a month, the two of us write up what we are seeing across the Northern Beaches and the North Shore: prices from recorded sales, what is selling before it reaches the portals, and what it means if you are planning to buy. It is short, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
