Your dream home

The great Australian dream is to own your own home; that perfect and nurturing place to hang your hat and close the door on the stresses of life. At Curtis Associates, we are great listeners. Immersing ourselves in your property preferences is fundamental to our approach. The one item we ask you to bring along to our initial meeting is your ‘dream home’ file. That request is the first phase of the empathy and sensitivity we bring to the task of buying a home satisfying both the emotions underlying your preferences and your wealth building aspirations.

With housing demand permanently exceeding supply in the Sydney residential property market, the competition to buy such a home and at the right price only becomes fiercer each year.

It is also a serious and increasingly risky but nevertheless rewarding exercise. Buying a home has always been one of the most expensive purchases of a lifetime. It is also one that occurs in a dynamic and frequently changing market environment.

Why do it yourself instead of engaging a professional to help you live the dream? If doing it yourself, why enlist help from professionals such as a conveyancer and building and pest inspector but not on the purchase itself?

Analogies abound. Anyone for example, can prepare their own tax return without a trained professional, but how do you know you have mitigated your tax risk? Anyone can go to court without a lawyer, but why take the risks involved especially where the other side is likely to be represented by a full time professional whose job is to act against your interests?

The Sydney residential property market is no different.

In contrast to other professionals such as accountants and lawyers where you pay the fee whether or not you are happy with the outcome, approximately 90 % of our buyers’ agent fee is for a fixed amount and charged only on success defined as exchange of contracts. This means that you only pay the success fee if you are satisfied with the outcome our services will provide.

No purchase. No success fee. It is as simple as that and means that you are in control of the ultimate value equation.

In return for our relatively small upfront retainer fee, you receive input from our team of property professionals as well as protection from the risks of the Sydney property market.

Sure, you can do it yourself. But why not do it better?

With Curtis Associates giving you more buying power that means :

• better choice
• better information
• better competitive advantage
• better price
• better way to buy your dream home and 
• no buyers' remorse.
