SOMEONE ON YOUR SIDE OF THE PURCHASE.

The brief belongs to the buyer.

My work starts with understanding what you want to buy, why it matters and the budget you're working with.

From there, I can research suitable options, inspect properties, help assess their fit and represent you in negotiation or bidding.

The scope is agreed with you so you know what support you're getting.

Buying support at different stages.

Some buyers want help from the start of the search.

Others have found a property and want a considered assessment or someone to represent them at the point of purchase.

Proptip's services cover Adelaide home buying and downsizing, Australia-wide investment searches, portfolio acquisition and auction or negotiation support.

Choose an agent whose experience fits your purchase.

Check the relevant state's licence register, then ask about recent purchases in your target locations and price range.

Discuss the research behind those results, read client feedback and agree how you'll receive updates.

My South Australian land agent registration is RLA352646, and you'll work directly with me.

Agree the representation, scope and fee.

Ask who the agent represents and how they disclose referral payments, commercial relationships or other potential conflicts.

The written agreement should explain the work included, fees and GST, payment stages, communication and how the engagement ends.

My fees are on enquiry, with the scope agreed before I start.

How the other professionals fit.

Your broker advises on lending, your conveyancer handles the legal work, and a building inspector assesses the property's condition.

I bring the property search and buying process together around your brief, working with those specialists as the purchase progresses.
