A commercial buyer’s agent in Newcastle, on the buyer’s side only.

Who hires us.

A commercial buyer’s agent in Newcastle acts for the people writing the cheque, never the people cashing it. Three kinds of buyer engage us: business owners buying the premises their company runs from; investors and SMSF trustees buying the lease as much as the building; and developers buying land and holding positions across the Hunter. Each gets the same process — a written brief, a search measured against settled records, a stress-test, and a negotiation argued from evidence.

Selling agents are paid by vendors and do their job well. Our job is the other side of the table: we are paid by the buyer we act for, and by no one else in the transaction. That is the whole point of a buyer-only agency — when every incentive points one way, the advice can too. Our written conflict policy puts client mandates ahead of our own development interests on every opportunity.

How an engagement runs.

Five steps, in writing. The brief sets budget, purpose and walk-away lines before anything is searched. The search runs on- and off-market, priced against the settled record rather than listings. The stress-test reads the lease line by line and models the vacancy risk rather than waving at it. The negotiation argues from comparable settled dealings. And the 12-month plan sets rent reviews, refinance points and exit triggers before settlement, so the asset is managed against a written plan from day one.

Every stage leaves a document trail: the brief itself; search notes on each shortlisted property with its settled comparables; the stress-test findings; the negotiation position and its evidence; and the 12-month plan. If we recommend walking away, that lands in writing too, with the reasons — you can hold every recommendation against the brief it was meant to serve.

The fee is agreed in writing before the search starts, and most of what we assess, we reject — rejection is the product working. The full engagement, step by step.
