why buyers trust us on the northern beaches and north shore.

Because we’ve never been driven by commission, then or now. That’s not a tagline, it’s just the truth.

Before this business, Mike spent over a decade as an army officer serving his country, not exactly a career you choose for the pay cheque. It was about purpose, discipline, and helping people in high-stakes environments. That mindset stuck. Even later, advising global CEOs as a partner at Accenture, or Sarah navigating complex sales in real estate, the focus was always on doing what’s right, not what’s easy or lucrative.

That same value system drives this business. We’d rather lose a deal than push you into the wrong one. We’ll tell you when to walk away. And our happiest clients usually thank us for it.

If you’re looking for someone who’ll say anything to close, we’re not your people. But if you want honest, grounded advice from professionals who treat your property decision like it’s their own, you’re in the right place.

From what we’ve seen, buyers who thrive come prepared and coachable, while strugglers often wing it. Clients who succeed have clear goals, realistic expectations, and they listen to expert advice.

In contrast, those who struggle chase unicorn deals, ignore market realities, or let fear paralyse them at crunch time. In short, success isn’t about luck—it’s about mindset and a smart game plan. Our job is to coach you into that first category.

We get it—you’re used to being in control. But accepting help isn’t a weakness—it’s a strategy. Many of our most successful clients are high-achievers (busy executives, entrepreneurs, expats) who could manage solo but choose not to gamble on their biggest purchase.

You still make every decision; we just bring the intel and do the legwork to stack the odds in your favour. Think of us as tactical support, not a takeover. By bringing us in, you’re actually taking control of the outcome, ensuring no crucial detail or opportunity gets missed.

Not at all. Everyone loves a bargain, but if you end up with the wrong home or constant headaches, did you really “win”? True success is finding a home you love at a fair price – and sleeping soundly afterwards knowing you made the right call.

That means no buyer’s remorse, no nasty surprises, just a deal that fits your life. A rock-bottom price on an ”ok” property is a hollow victory—we aim higher than that.

You’re right—every buyer’s agent says they’re experienced, strategic, trusted. It’s become wallpaper. But let’s be honest: this industry has grown fast, and not everyone entering it has the depth or the credentials buyers assume they do.

Some buyer’s agents out there are new to the game. A few have found clever workarounds to avoid being fully licensed. That’s not illegal, but it should raise questions. Because buying a home or investment property isn’t a minor transaction—it’s one of the most complex and costly decisions you’ll ever make.

Sarah and Mike haven’t shortcut anything. They're both fully licensed real estate agents, and came into this business the hard way—through real-life experience, not just a sales course and a website. Between them, they bring decades of strategy, negotiation, and property know-how. From the military and corporate boardrooms to the coalface of real estate, they've worked in high-stakes, high-integrity environments their whole careers.

That doesn’t make Sarah Kaye & Co better than everyone else. But it does mean we’re seasoned. We’re here for the long haul. And when it’s your money and your future on the line, we believe that still counts for something.
