FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How is a buyer’s agent different from a selling agent?
A selling agent works for the seller. Their job is to get the highest price. A buyer’s agent works exclusively for you, the buyer. We protect your interests, secure the right property, and negotiate the best deal possible. Our team holds professional qualifications, including CPA credentials, and applies the same strategic, numbers-driven approach we used in senior finance roles to protect your bottom line.
Why should I use East Point Property instead of buying on my own?
We give you access to off-market opportunities, deep market insights, and skilled negotiation. We save you time, stress, and costly mistakes. You focus on your life, while we focus on finding the perfect property. We have helped clients secure properties thousands below asking price and in areas with strong capital growth potential. Our results are built on rigorous research and market data.
What is your process for finding the right property?
We start by understanding your goals, budget, and lifestyle or investment priorities. We research the market in detail, identify the best suburbs, and access both on-market and off-market opportunities. We shortlist suitable properties, inspect them on your behalf, and provide you with a detailed analysis of each option. We then negotiate the best possible terms and guide you all the way to settlement.
Do you work with first home buyers, investors, or both?
Both. Whether it is your very first purchase or part of a long-term investment strategy, we tailor our approach to your goals, budget, and lifestyle. We have guided first home buyers through every step of the process and helped seasoned investors add high-performing properties to their portfolios.
Do you charge a fixed fee or a percentage of the purchase price?
We charge a percentage of the purchase price, agreed upfront. This keeps our interests aligned with yours — we are motivated to secure the right property at the best possible value. Our fee structure is transparent and documented, so you know exactly what to expect before we begin.
Do you take commission from the seller or selling agent?
Never. We are paid solely by you, so our loyalty and focus remain 100% on your best interests. As fully independent buyer’s agents, our Code of Conduct ensures zero financial ties to sellers or developers.
How do I know you’re working in my best interest?
Our business is built on trust, transparency, and results. We have no ties to sellers. We are guided by your brief alone, and our success depends on your satisfaction, not just making a sale. Our repeat clients and referrals are proof. More than 80% of our business comes from people who have worked with us before or recommended us to friends.
Do you check building and pest reports for me?
Yes. We review building and pest reports to ensure you understand the property’s condition before making a commitment. We work with trusted inspectors and highlight any risks or potential costs, so there are no surprises later.
Do you only work in Brisbane?
Yes. We focus exclusively on the Brisbane market to deliver the best results for our clients. Being on the ground every day allows us to provide unmatched local knowledge, access, and insight. We plan to expand our network into other areas in the future, but for now, our full attention is on helping you secure the right property in Brisbane.
