Buying A Property?
Buy With Confidence
Wolf. Buyers Agency is turning the Stress and Complexity of Buying Property into an Effortless and Enjoyable Experience
Who Are Our Clients?
Our clients are generally local, interstate & sometimes international family home buyers and property investors.
They are often time-poor, unfamiliar with the Sydney property market or frustrated of dealing with real estate agents and the purchase process at large.
Our industry knowledge, experience & qualifications and solid connections with the local real estate network ensure that we deliver an effortless and enjoyable buying experience.
Family Home Buyers
"Owning a Home is a Keystone of Wealth...Both Financial Affluence and Emotional Security"
Suze Orman
Buying that perfect family home in and around Sydney can be fraught with stress, difficulties and will always be time consuming. We will work together to secure the family home you always wanted.
We search for on-market, off-market, pre-market and post-market properties, utilising our trusted connections with the local real estate fraternity to ensure we live up to your expectations.
This will save you time and money as we only trouble you with inspection appointments for properties that match your brief.
Property Investors
"Ninety Percent of all Millionaires Become so Through Owning Real Estate"
Andrew Carnegie
Sure-fire investing with the power of PIA.
Purchasing an investment property differs vastly from the process of buying a family home as it is all about the numbers.
We apply our 12 star filter to ensure that you invest your hard earned cash into a property or property portfolio that aligns with all your personal needs and objectives.
In this respect we recommend that you first consult with a financial advisor and accountant to establish investment strategies and ownership structures.
Buying Property Is A 4 Step Process
Brief & Search, Research & Due Diligence, Purchase Process, Preparation for Settlement & Ownership

Step 1
Brief & Search
A detailed brief is the foundation for a successful search.
The more you define
what you want the more likely we will find it.
Get your finance and deposit ready.
Investors consult an accountant and financial advisor to establish investment strategy and ownership structure.
To locate and shortlist properties that match your brief we check on internet listings but preferably liaise with local real estate agents about properties that are On-Market, Off-Market, Pre-Market and After-Market.
For more details please check the FAQ section.
Step 2
Research & Due Diligence
Property research requires careful consideration and analysis.
We utilise trusted online platforms and latest AI technology to gather information about location, amenities, essential facilities, potential infrastructure projects, transport and historical data.
We compile detailed reports about potential market values using a Comparative Market Analysis.
Next step is Due Diligence, meaning
building and pest reports or strata reports and review of the Contract For Sale.
Investors will receive a Property Investment Analysis.
Step 3
The Purchase
Your perfect property has been selected and your legal representative has assured you that it is fit for purchase.
Now it is time to discuss an offer (Private Treaty Sale) or prepare for auction (Auction Sale), which can include a pre-auction offer.
The pros and cons of Private Treaty purchase vs. Auction purchase will be covered in detail in the strategy session.
The purchase process can be delicate as you might face competition from other house hunters and our job is to get ahead of the pack and secure the property for you.
Step 4
Settlement
Settlement, or change of ownership, occurs within a certain period of time after unconditional exchange of Contracts for Sale, which varies from state to state.
During this time you can make your own provisions, like booking ahead for connection of services, removalists, trades people, school or day care enrolments etc.
A couple of days before settlement we will meet for a settlement inspection to ensure the property is in the same condition as inspected and matches the Contract for Sale.
Once settled we will meet you again to hand over the keys to your new home.

Buying a property should be one of the highlights of your life but unfortunately it is not as easy as it sounds.

Choose From 4 Service Options
To Cater for Everyone's Needs We Have 4 Service Options on Offer.
Pricing of These Options Depends on the Individual Circumstances and Can Be a Percentage of the Purchase Price or a Fixed Fee.
Diamond Service
This End to End Service covers the whole buying process from Steps 1 to 4.
It is most suitable for expats, people who live interstate, people who are time poor, for First Home Buyers and Investors or anyone who prefers our involvement in the buying process from start to finish.
Platinum Service
Some people prefer to do the house hunting themselves or have already found a property they intend to purchase but wish to engage our services for Steps 2 to 4.
Part of our assistance of course includes a physical inspection of the chosen property.
Gold Service
Some people have completed Steps 1 and 2 themselves but look for help with the purchase process.
Besides a physical inspection of the chosen property, we will strategise our approach to get ahead of buyer competition to not only achieve the best possible result but become the winning buyer.
Silver Service
Some experienced house hunters are familiar with the whole purchase process and only need our research reports as they do not have access to the relevant internet platforms, which are mostly on subscription basis to real estate professionals.
Frequently Asked Questions
"If You Think Hiring a Professional is Expensive, Wait 'till You Hire an Amateur"
Red Adair
Why Should I Engage a Buyers' Agent?
Engaging A Buyers' Agent, or Buyers Advocate, can provide several benefits. They can help you navigate the complex process of purchasing a property, provide expert advice and guidance, negotiate on your behalf and potentially save you time and money. Buyers' agents have in-depth market knowledge and can help you find properties that match your criteria while also providing insights and analysis. Their expertise can be especially valuable for first home buyers or those unfamiliar with the local real estate market.
What is an Off-Market or Pre-Market Property?
An Off-Market and Pre-Market property refers to a property that is not (yet) publicly listed for sale on the open market via any marketing platform. Instead, these properties are sold through private networks, usually to a selling agent's data base contacts, which include buyers' agents. Off-market and Pre-Market properties can offer unique opportunities for buyers, as they have less competition from other house hunters and potentially provide better negotiating leverage. However, accessing these properties typically requires close working relationships with real estate agents or industry connections. This is one of the advantages buyers' agents will provide. BTW, approximately 30% of all property transactions are Off-Market sales, which means that there is a one in three chance of missing out on your perfect property if you are not engaging a buyers' agent.
How Long will the Buying Process Take?
This is a question hard to answer. It all depends on the complexity and uniqueness of your search criteria; it depends on how many properties become available for purchase in your preferred location at the time of your search and how far your budget is reaching. We have found properties within a couple of weeks of signing the agency agreement and some took us several months to locate. We have been engaged by clients who have been looking for many months and even several years by themselves and realised they are getting nowhere due to their time constraints, the pace of the market, missed opportunities, their inexperience with the negotiation or auction processes and/ or changing market conditions. After they came to us, we had them signing off on their new home within several weeks.
What are the Fees Involved in Using a Buyer’s Agent?
Again, our fees depend on the complexity and uniqueness of your search criteria, which is really a case-by-case scenario. In general, we try to stay as competitive and affordable as possible to make it your worthwhile.
We have the two options of percentage of purchase price or fixed fee on offer, whatever is more comfortable for you but also fair for all parties involved.
There is also an upfront engagement fee that forms part of the whole investment.
What if I Find the Perfect Property Myself During the Time of Our Contract?
Unfortunate to say, if you find a property you intend to buy by yourself, this will not release you from the agency agreement, hence the agreed fee will still apply. Therefore, we would prefer that you let us do our job once you have engaged us.

Really Informative Agent
As a first home buyer I felt very overwhelmed with the house buying process.
Harold was very helpful and explained the entire buying process with me so that I could make an offer with confidence.
He was always quick to respond to any text messages and emails and was always very informative.
Thank you Harold

Couldn't Have Done It Without You
When I first met Harold in 2009 I had an average income and some modest savings in the bank and wanted to invest in property.
But I didn’t know how to.
Harold thoroughly explained the details of property investment and he put me in touch with a finance broker and an accountant to map out a long term strategy.
I just recently purchased property No 4 and my investment portfolio is preparing for a comfortable retirement.
