A buyers agent finds and secures your property. A property concierge manages the full transaction ecosystem — before, during and after settlement. The right choice depends on what stage you are at, how complex your transaction is, and how much coordination support you need.

Who Needs a Property Concierge?
Property concierge services are best suited to interstate or overseas buyers who cannot attend inspections or manage the transaction locally, time-poor executives and professionals, investors managing multiple simultaneous transactions, and buyers who have had a bad experience with an uncoordinated purchase process in the past.
Who Needs a Buyers Agent?
A buyers agent is the right choice when you are buying in a market you know well, you can manage the transaction coordination yourself, and you primarily need search, access and negotiation expertise — not full-service transaction management.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a property concierge more expensive than a buyers agent?
Property concierge services are typically priced at a flat fee that reflects the broader scope of service. On a complex transaction, the additional coordination support often more than pays for itself in time saved and mistakes avoided.
