1. Full Service

A Full Service is suitable for clients who don’t have the knowledge and/or time to search for and negotiate purchase of the right property at the right price. This may include busy executives and interstate or overseas professionals. This service saves you time, and most importantly, money. And it means you get the best deal overall!

A Synergy buyer advocate will meet with you to take a detailed brief, then show you through a handful of properties to gain a greater understanding of your personal tastes and preferences, and refine your brief. Using this information and our six key search criteria, then we begin an extensive property search - including contacting agents for off-market properties that may
be available.

Although we’ll keep you updated with the details of every property inspected, we’ll only show you through properties matching your brief. Once we’ve found the right property, we’ll conduct a thorough due diligence and present a written report. We’ll also conduct all negotiations and bidding on your behalf.

The buyer’s advocate fees for this service are generally calculated as a capped percentage of the purchase price.

2. Due Diligence and Negotiate/Bid

This service suits those who enjoy looking for properties, but don’t necessarily have the time or resources to research the market thoroughly and ensure that their chosen property represents good value.

Once you’ve selected your property, Synergy will conduct the due diligence and by comparison with similar properties, advise what price your selected property could be expected to achieve in the open market. After reviewing Synergy’s report, you decide on the price point you are comfortable with, Synergy will either negotiate a private sale, or bid at auction on your behalf.

The buyer’s advocate fees for this service are calculated as a percentage of the purchase price.

3. Auction Bid Only

The Action Bid Only service is suitable for those who have selected a property and conducted their own due diligence, but either wish to remain anonymous when it comes to bidding for the property, or want to engage specific bidding expertise to give them a competitive edge
on the day.

Synergy meets with the client before the auction to discuss auction tactics and a bidding limit. An experienced Synergy negotiator will then bid on the client’s behalf to secure the property and help with signing the contract.

The buyer’s advocate fees for this service are comprised of a fixed attendance rate plus a percentage of the purchase price as a success fee.

4. Residential Investment Package

The Residential Investment Package means you’re serious about finding the right property to meet your investment objectives.

As experienced property managers, we know what makes a good investment property. We are continually inspecting properties and our network of real estate agents means that Synergy’s buyer advocates often have access to properties that reflect excellent buying opportunities - before they hit the market.

We look for those properties that offer good growth prospects in selected areas and keep you up-to-date on those that are suitable for you.

The buyer’s advocate fees for this service are fixed.
