This is an exclusive contract. The sole agency expires at any time under the happiness clause, payment of invoice after purchasing a home or 2 years (whichever comes first).

Upon purchasing we will invoice you. You agree to pay within 28 days (or otherwise agreed) from invoice date. We provide a 5% discount for full payment within 7 days.

We cannot and do not receive any moneys or services in kind from a seller or agent if we are being paid to act for you as the buyer. Yes we do sale manage homes and if a conflict arose we would put it to you in writing.

Any costs for building or pest inspections or for legal, surveying, architectural, valuation or financial advice are payable to the service provider by you (no rebates to us)

We cannot and do not receive any moneys or services in kind from a seller or agent if we are being paid to act for you as the buyer. Yes we do sale manage homes and if a conflict arose we would put it to you in writing. But we are bespoke and that is rare. Last time 2014.

We receive no moneys. rebates, services in kind except for an occasional coffee from anyone or any service we recommend.

We have to nominate an end date and so we say 2 years, but either of us can end it at anytime for any reason, without recourse.

Our fees as are all agent fees negotiable depending on your level of service and we give:

• 10% discount for past clients and or referrals
• 5% for payment of invoice early

Our fees are transparent.

We ask for them to cover our costs in supporting us to work for a small number of clients, thus allowing the time needed to deliver to you a focussed, bespoke and overall successful service that benefits you way more than our fees.
