Our Help You Buy Service — to help people buy homes. Our motivation is always to provide an affordable and accessible buyer’s agent service. The Home Buyer Helper was founded in 2020 to make the service accessible to everyone; to help people like you, whether you be a first home buyer, someone who hasn’t bought property for a long time, a downsizer or anything in between. We are here to help without it costing you the equivalent of a sale commission to access our service.
How we help you with the buying process
- We work with you to understand exactly what you are seeking
- We save you time when searching for your next home or investment property
- We take care of shortlisting, inspecting and recommending quality assets, not just the first
one to check all the boxes - We conduct thorough due diligence to give you piece of mind when purchasing a property
- We deal with the sales agents so you don’t have to
- We organise the building and pest inspections and anything else required to give you clarity
on exactly what you’re spending your money on - We don’t just recommend that you purchase a property because it ‘fits the brief’, we will
recommend you don’t purchase certain properties because not every property is a good
investment
The Process
How it works.
01
Initial Consultation
- Through our free ‘Discovery Call’ we talk through your property goals, budget and expectations as well as how our process works to ensure we are a good match to help you on your property journey.
- We will provide details of our agreement, terms and conditions and fee structures so you have all the information you need to help decide that The Home Buyer Helper is the right Buyer’s Agent for you.
02
Comprehensive Buyer Brief
- Once we decide to work together, The Home Buyer Helper will document all your requirements and compile the ‘Buyer Brief’. We want to know as much as we can about how you will use the property, whether as a home or investment.
- We then get the paperwork out of the way and get to work.
03
Property Search and Shortlisting
- The Home Buyer Helper will start actively searching for your property whether it’s on market, off market, pre-market or hiding under a rock. Our goal is to find the right property regardless of how it’s made available.
04
Property Inspections & Thorough Due Diligence
- We will never recommend a property we haven’t personally inspected, touched, smelled and felt. Our inspections don’t just stop at the boundary, we ensure the street, the neighbourhood and surrounding areas all stack up.
- After inspections we will provide videos, photos and an inspection report if we feel the property is worth exploring further
- Our due diligence process is thorough and you will be presented with a report of everything we assess so you have an understanding of the risks and benefits of each property. And it doesn’t just stop at checking the flood map. For more information on our due diligence process, feel free to reach out via email.
05
Market Analysis and Price Research
- We want to ensure you are paying a fair price for the property and conduct thorough pricing analysis before we make an offer on a property.
- We don’t rely on online Automated Valuations or Agent price guides to determine what a property is worth. There are so many other factors that determine the value of a property from market conditions, buyer interest, vendor motivation and many other details.
06
Negotiation and Offer Submission
We will work with you to formulate an offer strategy for each property. There is no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to negotiating on a property so each offer is tailored to suit with your full authorisation and understanding.
07
Contract Review and Explanation
The Home Buyer Helper will review the contract of sale to ensure there are no hidden surprises, conditions or ‘Gotchas’. Of course we recommend a qualified solicitor be engaged but we are able to highlight things that need review based on our experience and knowledge.
08
Auction Bidding (if applicable)
If applicable we will formulate an auction strategy to secure your new property and bid on your behalf at no extra cost.
09
Pre Purchase & Settlement Coordination
- The Home Buyer Helper will organise (at your cost) and pre purchase or conditional inspections, including building and pest. We will attend these inspections and ensure you have all the information you need to proceed with the purchase
- The Home Buyer Helper is available right through the settlement period and can work alongside your solicitor/conveyancer and mortgage broker to ensure there are no unexpected delays or hiccups

Ongoing Support and Advice
We want to be your lifetime trusted partner in property and will remain available long after you get the keys.
Expert help for stress-free buying
Trust The experts
We are here to help.
In a busy market, real estate agents are meeting with dozens of buyers for every property they list. In some cases, they can’t remember every person who is interested in properties in their area.
By engaging The Home Buyer Helper, we are able to build relationships with agents in the areas you are seeking and access listings as soon as they come up and in some cases, before they even hit the market.
Case Studies
We’ve helped hundreds of ordinary people navigate the process of buying real estate.

Frequently asked questions
What should I consider before buying a home?
Before buying a property, consider your budget, preferred location, lifestyle needs, loan pre-approval, ongoing costs (like rates and maintenance), and whether the home suits your long-term plans.
How do I know if I’m ready to buy?
If you have a steady income, a deposit saved, understand your borrowing capacity, and are prepared for the responsibilities of homeownership, you may be ready. A consultation with a property advisor or mortgage broker can help assess your readiness.
What’s the difference between buying a new or established home?
New homes may come with builder warranties, lower maintenance needs, and government grants, while established homes can offer better locations, character, and more negotiation opportunities.
Should I buy a house or an apartment?
It depends on your lifestyle, budget, and goals. Apartments may offer lower prices and maintenance, while houses offer more space and land value. Consider long-term growth and rental potential if it’s an investment.
