A SEAMLESS PROPERTY EXPERIENCE

Your buyers agent team, led by Simon Cohen and Thomas Alpe, is built around clear communication, professionalism and delivering highly qualified property information Over many years, the team has refined its buying process, to give you confidence at every stage of the search You will work with a single point of contact which ensures a structured and centralised form of communication where every decision is informed, considered, and timely.
Our service is proactive and driven. We actively prospect for genuine opportunities, uncovering properties that are often hidden from the wider market and carefully filtering each option to ensure it aligns with your requirements. Properties are presented through a dedicated WhatsApp group that includes your entire buying team, allowing information, updates, and inspection coordination to be managed in one place Each opportunity is presented clearly and consistently, giving you the context needed to assess suitability quickly and efficiently. Our entire team is available at any time to chat over the phone, via text or email to discuss any aspect of your search and give expert advice as often as you need it
To support this, you are given access to a live spreadsheet that tracks your entire search from day one This provides a transparent and holistic view of all opportunities presented and discussed, allows you to add comments, and makes it easy to refer back to previous options as your search evolves
We start by getting clarity on your brief To understand your reason for the purchase, lifestyle, priorities, non-negotiables and timing A strong strategy ensures the search is focused, realistic, and aligned from the outset
We actively search the market on your behalf, with a strong emphasis on off-market and pre-market opportunities. Through our agent relationships, we aim to uncover properties before they hit the market, reducing competition and improving your negotiating position
Either pre-inspecting or with you, filtering out unsuitable options early so your time is spent only on properties that genuinely stack up. We inspect properties with a critical eye assess every aspect of the property to ensure it aligns with your requirements
Every shortlisted property is thoroughly vetted This includes facilitating the review of contracts, strata and building reports, council zoning and restrictions, and any red flags that could affect future value, resale, or liveability Our focus is protecting you from surprises after purchase
We assess each opportunity objectively, drawing on comparable sales, market conditions, and long-term property specific trends This ensures you understand fair market value so you can make confident, informed decisions
We manage all negotiations on your behalf Our role is to secure the property on the best possible terms and price, applying strategy, timing, and market insight to achieve the strongest outcome Clients are consulted throughout the entire process and decisions are made together
Once terms are agreed, we coordinate the exchange process with your solicitor and the selling agent, ensuring conditions, deposits, and timelines are handled correctly and efficiently. Nothing is left to chance
Our service doesn’t end at exchange or settlement We assist with the transition into ownership Whether that’s introductions to trusted trades, advice on improvements, or support with the move. We remain a long-term advisor, not just a transactional one
