Our Home Buyer Service
Our Home Buyer service is tailored to the needs of an owner-occupier looking for their main residence, and to those people looking for a holiday house that will not be rented out.
Why not take advantage of our FREE initial consultation and needs assessment – to see if any of our Home Buyer services are right for you. Our Buyers' Agent can come to you – at a time that is convenient.
Home Buyers can choose any one of the following offerings:
|
 |
SEARCH – The ‘Search’ service includes a detailed analysis of your property goals and purchase criteria, followed by a comprehensive property search in your target area(s). Short-listed properties will be presented to you and made available for inspection to enable the selection of a candidate for negotiation.
A full Search report (including digital photos) is made available to you via email or in printed form
The search service duration ends after 60 days or at the point of proceeding to negotiation – whichever occurs first. *
|
|
|
 |
NEGOTIATE – The ‘Negotiate’ service includes a thorough assessment of your selected property – comparing it to other similar properties for sale / recently sold. Armed with this information we agree a target price range and your SNAP Buyers Agent then proceeds to negotiate the optimum purchase price and conditions.
The standard 'Negotiation' service duration is a maximum of 30 days *
|
 |
PURCHASE – The ‘Purchase’ service includes the selection and efficient coordination of professional property purchase specialists including accountant, mortgage broker, solicitor / conveyancer, insurance broker, pest inspector, building inspector, valuer. SNAP has formed strong business partnerships with expert professionals in these specialty fields – but we are more than happy to work with any professionals you choose to appoint.
Also included is assistance in planning for key pre and post-purchase property costs (enabling you to arrive at a total cost of ownership). A costing report is made available to you via email or in printed form.
The ‘purchase’ service duration ends after 90 days or when the contract for the property purchase becomes unconditional – whichever occurs first. *

It provides complete (end-to-end) management of the process of securing your property and includes all elements of the ‘Search’, ‘Negotiate’ and ‘Purchase’ services – linking them seamlessly together to make buying your property a SNAP.
This premium service includes a detailed costing report with comparisons between short-listed properties. It also includes an interactive “total cost of ownership” report to help you plan the future expenses related to your new home.
The ‘SNAP’ service duration ends after 180 days or when the contract for the property purchase becomes unconditional – whichever occurs first. *
* Service durations may be altered to meet your specific needs.
