Buyer's agent fees run $8,000–$33,000+ depending on the state, the price and the firm — around $14,500 on a Sydney full-service engagement, typically 1.5–3% of the purchase price or a flat fee (WhichRealEstateAgent, Buyer's Agent Fees Guide 2026). We compare the category, not any particular firm.

You're about to commit six or seven figures on the strength of an advertised price the seller's agent chose. A $600k–$1.5M decision deserves more than a free bank estimate and a gut feel at the second inspection.

The report is the independent check between "we love it" and "we've signed".

What's in the report

Every page is about the one property you're deciding on — not suburb trivia, not a portal estimate.

  • A clear read — where the asking price sits against recorded sales, and the number it stops making sense at
  • Fair-value range, built from recorded comparable sales, each one shown
  • The vendor read — price history, time on market, campaign language decoded
  • Your numbers — opening offer, target, and the walk-away line
  • What it will really cost — stamp duty, first-home concessions, ownership costs for your state
  • Risks ranked + an inspection checklist for this property
  • Your state's deal rules — cooling-off, auction and price-guide rules
  • Agent licence check against the public register

Whoever's signing, the question is the same

First-home buyers

Don't overpay on the biggest purchase of your life. The report levels the field against an agent who negotiates every day — you've done this zero times, they've done it a thousand.

Parents helping with the deposit

Before the deposit goes in, know the price is fair. An independent check on the property your kids have fallen in love with — because they stopped being objective two inspections ago. The family page has the three checks to run first.

Buying to invest?

Fair value, a yield and hold-outlook reality-check and a negotiation plan before you offer — from a desk that isn't selling you a subscription or clipping a referral fee.

One report. However many properties you're weighing up.

Every pack is the same complete report — price only changes how many properties it covers. One-off, AUD, GST included, no subscription.

Before you ask

Why not instant?

Because every report is checked against our compliance rules before it ships, and any report the check flags is read by a person — and it's delivered within 24 hours, guaranteed.

What if the report isn't up to standard?

If it doesn't meet the standard on our methodology page, tell us within 7 days of delivery and we revise it or refund it in full.

Is this a valuation?

No. It's general information and education — an independent research report, not a professional valuation and not financial or property advice. It organises the recorded evidence so you can make your own decision, and it never considers your personal financial situation.

Why not just use the free bank estimate?

Free estimates are automated, wide, and built to generate leads for agents and brokers. None of them will tell you what to open at, where your walk-away line is, or what the agent's campaign language is signalling.

What if you can't verify the data?

If we can't verify a sale record for the property, we don't ship the report — and you're refunded in full. Where evidence is thin, the report says so plainly rather than papering over it.

Which properties can you cover?

Any residential listing in Australia with a public listing page — realestate.com.au and Domain links work best. Houses, units and townhouses.

Can I talk to a person first?

Yes. Message Theo on WhatsApp with the listing you're looking at and your question — no call to book, no sales script. Open WhatsApp →

The cheapest mistake you'll never make

Overpay by 3% on a $700k home and that's $21,000 gone before the keys. Knowing first costs $119, and we're paid the same whether you buy or walk away.
