STEP-BY-STEP: HOW WE HELP

From first call to final keys – here’s how we help

1. Your Challenge

Feeling Overwhelmed by the Property Market

You’re feeling overwhelmed by the North Shore and Northern Beaches property market.

You’re busy and the market moves fast. Without local insight or someone in your corner, you risk overpaying or missing out on the perfect home. The process is stressful and uncertain.

2. Our Solution

We do the heavy lifting for you

We do the heavy lifting for you so you don’t have to. We filter out the nonsense and sales spin to present you with real, honest insights on each property. Think of us as your property buying strategists – handling research, inspections, pricing, and negotiations with military precision and genuine care. (Co-founder Mike’s background as an Army officer and global business advisor means a disciplined, strategic approach, while Sarah’s local real estate roots add sharp negotiating savvy.) Most importantly, we have your back completely – protecting you from pitfalls and ensuring you make an informed, confident decision.

3. Our Plan

Three Simple Steps:

1. Schedule a Free Consultation – Book a call with Sarah or Mike to discuss your needs, goals, and any questions. No sales pitch, just honest guidance. We’ll outline how we can help or advise you on next steps, with no obligation.

2. Strategic Search & Advice – We create a tailored buying strategy and then hunt for your ideal property, both on-market and off-market. For each promising home, we provide expert analysis.

3. Negotiation & Secure Purchase – When you’re ready to move forward on a property, we manage all due diligence (pricing appraisal, building reports, etc.) and lead the negotiation on your behalf.  We’ll even bid at auction.

4. Success Outcome

Agent Selection Support – Helping You Sell Smart

With Sarah Kaye & Co. guiding you, you’ll save time, avoid buyer’s remorse, and move into your Northern Beaches home knowing you made the right call. Instead of stress and uncertainty, you’ll experience clarity, control, and the excitement of a great purchase.

Full Buying Service

Your End-to-End Buying Partner

Initial Brief & Honest Consultation

We start by listening—deeply. You’ll share your wishlist, including suburbs, budget, lifestyle needs, and deal-breakers. But we go further than just bedrooms and parking. We explore how you want to live. Expect honest, expert feedback on whether your brief aligns with market realities. If your expectations need adjusting, we’ll say so up front—saving you months of wasted effort and frustration. Real guidance starts with real talk and forms the foundation of trusted property buying.

 Comprehensive Property Search (On & Off-Market)

Once aligned, we search across the full market—public listings, agent networks, and exclusive off-market opportunities. Off-market homes play a huge role in the Northern Beaches, and we help you access them through long-standing local relationships. We keep you in the loop with regular updates on properties vetted, ruled out (and why), and new listings on the radar. You get full visibility without the heavy lifting, supported by our commitment to trusted property buying on the Northern Beaches and North Shore.

Evaluation & Due Diligence

For any serious contender, we do the digging. From inspections to pricing reality checks, we give you a clear-eyed view of pros, cons, and potential risks. You’ll receive a detailed appraisal report including comparable sales, current trends, and fair market value. We also coordinate independent reports—pest, building, strata, council checks—so there are no post-purchase regrets or nasty surprises.

Skilled Negotiation & Purchase

When it’s time to buy, we negotiate hard on your behalf. Whether private sale or auction, we handle strategy, counter-tactics, and pressure with experience. You won’t be left to make emotional decisions alone—we keep things objective, strategic, and focused on securing the right property at the right price and terms.

End-to-End Transaction Management

Our work doesn’t end at “sold.” We oversee the process through to settlement—liaising with solicitors, brokers, and agents to ensure a seamless transition. From contract to keys, every detail is covered so you can move in with peace of mind, knowing nothing was missed.

Throughout the journey, our ethos is total transparency and client education. We won’t hide facts or push you into a decision. Our role is to empower you with information, guide you with seasoned advice, and handle the heavy lifting. By the end, you’ll not only have a home you love but the confidence of trusted property buying done honestly and expertly.  That’s the real value of Full Service done honestly and expertly.

Appraise & Negotiate

Found the one? Let’s secure it smartly

In-Depth Property Appraisal

Once you’ve found a property you’re serious about, our job is to assess its true market value—clearly, independently, and without emotion. We analyse comparable sales, land and build quality, time on market, and Northern Beaches trends to produce a data-backed appraisal report with a realistic value range. We call out overpricing or underquoting tactics, and advise if it’s best to move forward or walk away. This is trusted property buying at its most transparent—you’ll know exactly what the property is worth before making any decision.

Purchase Strategy Planning

Beyond price, we help craft a tailored purchase strategy. This includes whether to make a strong early offer, sit back, or prepare for auction. We factor in the seller’s motivation, competing interest, and agent behaviour to ensure we’re always a step ahead. You’ll have a clear plan—including your maximum bid or walk-away price—before negotiations begin, so nothing is left to guesswork.

Negotiation Execution

We take over the negotiation process—confidently and professionally—removing the stress and risk of overpaying. Whether it’s a private treaty, silent auction, or public auction, we handle all communication and strategy. From countering agent tactics to verifying claims, we protect your position and aim to secure the property at the best possible price and terms.

Due Diligence & Risk Checks

We treat the property as if we found it ourselves. Our team arranges inspections, reviews contracts, and flags any concerns—like dodgy clauses or structural issues. If a red flag appears, we either negotiate better terms or help you walk away with no regrets.

Seamless Contract to Settlement Support

Once the price is agreed, we stay involved—facilitating contract exchange, liaising with your legal team, and managing last-minute hurdles like valuation or settlement delays. It’s trusted property buying support, right through to settlement and handover.

Who's It For?

Appraise & Negotiate is perfect for confident buyers who enjoy the search but want expert protection in the final, high-stakes stages.  It’s ideal for those seeking trusted property buying on the Northern Beaches and North Shore, with seasoned guidance when it matters most.

Auction Bidding

Bid with Confidence, Minus the Stress

Pre-Auction Planning

Preparation is everything. We begin by assessing the property’s likely value and agreeing on your absolute maximum bid, based on market comparisons, campaign context, and your comfort level. If needed, we can provide a full property appraisal as an add-on. We also develop a clear, tailored bidding strategy: when to enter, how to pace your bids, and whether a strong pre-auction offer is worth considering. It’s all part of delivering trusted property buying, with a cool head and a clear plan.

Auction Day Execution

On the day, we represent you in person or online. From early crowd observation to precise registration, we handle everything. During the auction, we bid confidently and tactically—removing emotion from the equation and maintaining control. Whether you’re present or overseas, our calm, professional approach keeps you protected from panic bidding or hesitation. We keep your identity anonymous and ensure every move serves your best interest.

Guarding Your Limit

One promise: we never exceed your pre-agreed maximum. Auctions are emotional battlegrounds, but our discipline ensures you don’t overpay. If the bidding goes beyond your limit, we step back—no pressure, no regrets. If we win below your cap, even better. This is trusted property buying with boundaries that protect you.

Post-Auction Follow-Through

If you win, we manage the contract signing and deposit process immediately. If the property passes in, we move fast to negotiate post-auction while others regroup. Our expertise in these moments can turn missed hammer falls into successful deals. You’re never left guessing.

Auction Education & Support

We guide you through auction rules, potential twists, and strategy so there are no surprises. You’ll feel informed, calm, and ready, regardless of the outcome.

Who It’s For & Why It Works

This service is for buyers who want calm, confident representation when it matters most. It’s trusted property buying on the Northern Beaches and North Shore, delivered with precision and professionalism—so you never go it alone under pressure.

Sell-to-Buy

Agent Selection Support – Helping You Sell Smart

For many clients, buying a new home means selling their current one first. As part of our Full Service buying package, we offer a no-cost add-on to help you choose the right real estate agent to sell your property—saving you time, guesswork, and stress.

We’re not sales agents, but we work with them every day. Drawing on our local insight and market experience, we’ll help you shortlist the top agents best suited to your property’s location, type, and target buyer profile. We’ll also help you compare proposals and negotiate selling fees so you can make a confident, informed choice.

You remain in control—we simply act as your guide to ensure you don’t fall for a flashy pitch or inflated promise. Our only interest is helping you line up the right agent, so you can move forward with your purchase smoothly.

This agent selection support is only available to clients using our Full Service buying support, and is part of our commitment to delivering Trusted Property Buying on the Northern Beaches and North Shore—from first step to final settlement.
