Sydney Buyers Agency Services

Four Ways to Work With a Buyer’s Agent

Most people who call me have been searching for months.

They’ve done the Saturday inspections. They’ve watched the property they wanted to sell before it ever hit Domain. They’ve stood at auctions and watched the price sail past the guide.

They’re not confused about what they want. They just can’t get in front of it.

That’s the job. I’m Brooke Flint. Twenty years in the Sydney market, 750+ clients settled, and a three-time REINSW Buyers Agent of the Year finalist. I work for buyers. Never sellers, never developers. You pay me, so I answer to you.

Here’s how we can work together.

Not everyone needs the full service. Some buyers want the whole search handled. Some have found the property and just need someone at the table who negotiates for a living.

Choose the level of support that matches where you actually are.

Full Buying Service

End to end. You tell me what the next chapter looks like. I handle everything between here and settlement.

A strategy session to define your brief, your budget and your real priorities
Access to off-market and pre-market properties through 20 years of agent relationships
Shortlisting, inspections and honest assessments. If a property has a problem, you’ll hear it from me first.
Due diligence on price, strata, contracts and the things that don’t show up in the listing photos
Negotiation or auction bidding, whichever the campaign demands
Management through to settlement

Built for busy professionals, families upsizing or downsizing, and expats buying from overseas who need eyes and judgement on the ground.

Property Coach

For buyers who want to stay in the driver’s seat, with an expert in the passenger seat.

You do the searching. I give you a strategy session, access to off-market opportunities, honest assessments of your shortlist, and pricing research that tells you what a property is actually worth. When it’s time to negotiate, I step in.

You stay involved. You just stop guessing.

Evaluate & Negotiate

You’ve found the property. Now comes the part where most buyers lose money.

I assess the property against current comparable sales, not the optimistic ones. I tell you what it’s worth today, in this market. Then I build the negotiation strategy, whether it’s heading to auction or private treaty, and I run it.

Here’s what most buyers don’t know: the gap between what a property sells for and what it could have sold for with the right strategy is often bigger than my fee. That gap is where this service pays for itself.

Auction Bidding

Sydney auctions are designed to make you pay more. The pace, the pressure, the agent working the crowd. None of it is an accident.

I attend and bid on your behalf. Before auction day, we set the strategy: your walk-away limit, your opening position, how we respond if it stalls or if it runs. On the day, you get composure instead of adrenaline.

I’ve stood at hundreds of Sydney auctions. The buyers who win aren’t the richest ones. They’re the prepared ones.

Off-Market Properties: The Part of the Market You Can’t See

Some of the best properties in Sydney never get advertised.

Vendors who want discretion. Estates. Divorces. Owners testing the water before committing to a campaign. These properties trade quietly, through relationships, before the photographer ever shows up.

After twenty years working with agents across the Inner West, Eastern Suburbs and Lower North Shore, I hear about these properties early. My clients get in front of them with time to think, instead of competing in a crowd.

No buyer’s agent can promise you an off-market miracle. Anyone who does is selling something. What I can promise is access to a layer of the market that a Domain alert will never show you.

Where I Buy

I work across Sydney, with deep experience in the markets where competition is sharpest:

Inner West. Balmain, Annandale, Newtown, Enmore, Haberfield, Marrickville and surrounds. This is where I cut my teeth, and I know these streets block by block.
Eastern Suburbs. Paddington, Surry Hills, Bondi, Clovelly, Coogee, Bellevue Hill.
Lower North Shore. Cremorne, Mosman, Neutral Bay, Riverview, Roseville.
Northern Beaches. Manly, Balgowlah, Forestville.

Every suburb above is one where I’ve settled property for a client. You can see the results for yourself

What a Buyer’s Agent Costs

I’d rather you hear this from me than wonder.

Fees are structured as a fixed fee, a percentage of the purchase price, or a hybrid of both, depending on the service and the scope of the search. You’ll know exactly how it works, in writing, before we start.

And I’ll be honest with you: for some buyers, a buyer’s agent isn’t worth it. If you have the time, know how to read a strata report, understand comparable sales and negotiate comfortably, you may not need me.

Most of my clients don’t have that time. What they have is a market moving faster than their weekends allow, and a purchase too important to get wrong.

I’ve written a full, honest breakdown of how buyer’s agent fees work in Sydney.

Buying and Selling at the Same Time?

Around half my clients aren’t just buying. They’re selling one home to fund the next, and the timing between the two is where the risk lives.

Sell too early, and you’re renting while the market runs away from you. Buy too early, and you’re carrying two properties in a market you can’t control.

I manage both sides so they land together. For the selling side, that’s my vendor advocacy service.

Why Clients Choose Me

I spent my first years in this industry on the other side of the table, selling for McGrath in the Eastern Suburbs and working on auction campaigns in the Inner West. I know the tactics, the timing, and the truth behind every price guide, because I used to write them.

Since 2014, I’ve worked exclusively for buyers.

Brooke is an absolute marvel. I would never have been able to buy the property without Brooke. She had the perfect strategy for all situations, from location to property, to negotiation to closing the deal. She is worth every cent.” Nick, Buyer

Frequently Asked Questions

I represent you, the buyer, throughout the whole purchase. Sourcing properties, including off-market ones, assessing what they’re really worth, running due diligence, and negotiating or bidding on your behalf. The selling agent works for the vendor. I level the playing field.

Either a fixed fee, a percentage of the purchase price (typically 1% to 3%), or a hybrid. It depends on the service level and the scope of the search. You get the structure in writing before anything starts. The full breakdown is in my fees guide.

Yes. A large part of my client base is expats. I run the entire process remotely: video inspections, detailed reports, due diligence, negotiation and settlement. You stay informed at every step without setting foot in Sydney until the keys are yours.

How do you find off-market properties?

Honestly? Not everyone does. If you have the time, the market knowledge and the stomach for negotiation, you can do this yourself. But if the property you want keeps selling before you see it, or above what you expected, that’s the market telling you something. That’s when I’m worth the call.

Ready to Stop Searching and Start Securing?

The right property in Sydney rarely just shows up. It gets found, assessed and secured by someone who does this every day.

Let’s talk about what you’re looking for. A strategy call costs nothing, and there’s no pressure at the end of it. You’ll walk away knowing exactly where you stand, whether we work together or not.
