QUESTIONS FROM BUYERS – AND HONEST ANSWERS

Why should I trust Sarah Kaye & Co. over other buyer’s agents?

Honestly, because we’re not afraid to tell you things you don’t want to hear—like walking away from a property if it’s not right. We’re fiercely independent, with zero kickbacks or hidden interests. We deliver the blunt truth backed by decades of high-level advisory and real estate experience. Trust is our entire reputation, and we never compromise on it

What exactly makes your team more qualified than typical agents?

We don’t just talk about experience; we’ve got the credentials to back it up: formal university qualifications in property law, valuation, economics, engineering, and governance from respected institutions like UNSW and AICD. Plus, Mike spent years advising global CEOs on strategy and acquisitions. Bottom line: our advice isn’t guesswork—it’s rigorous strategy, and it works

Do you seriously recommend clients walk away from deals?

Absolutely. If a property doesn’t align with your goals, we’ll tell you bluntly. We’re here to secure your long-term happiness, not a quick sale. Sometimes, the smartest decision we help clients make is not buying a property. It’s tough love, but it’s always in your interest.

K
L

You claim you’re strategic advisors—not just agents—is that marketing hype?

Forget flashy pitches. Our strategic advisory background isn’t just fluff—Mike’s former role as an Accenture senior partner involved advising global executives on multimillion-dollar decisions. Sarah’s deep real-estate experience means knowing exactly how sellers think. This isn’t “hype”; it’s a tangible advantage you’ll see when negotiating your deal

K

How independent are you really—aren’t all agents the same?

Not even close. Unlike some agents, as independent North Shore and Northern Beaches buyers agents we refuse kickbacks, referral fees, and side deals. Our only interest is your best interest. If something smells off, we’ll tell you immediately. We’re deliberately boutique, so you’re always dealing directly with principals, not a junior agent chasing commissions.
