How Search, Appraise & Negotiate works

Whether you’re buying to live in or invest, a successful search begins with a great brief to understand your property goals.

We shortlist the suburbs and the areas that match your brief, providing the research to confirm your property will meet your needs.

We then connect with our vast network of sales agents to uncover a match, accessing both on and off market properties.

When we show you a property that ticks all of your boxes will negotiate the purchase to the lowest possible price and then oversee the transaction all the way to settlement.

Search appraise and negotiate is my comprehensive done for you buyer’s agency service.

If you’re looking to fast track your property acquisition and have complete peace of mind, knowing you’ll be buying the best property that your money can buy, then this is the service for you.

Testimonials

When we were looking to purchase our first family home, we met with several buyers agents before we engaged Dan. Dan was the only one who really listened to us and understood our requirements. Being a young family, we wanted an agent who could help us get time back during the inspection process, and who was willing to negotiate hard on our behalf. Within 6 weeks of having Dan on board, we exchanged on a home that exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t have achieved this outcome without Dan’s experience and relationships. Thank you Dan!

Jacqueline Osborne

I engaged Dan earlier this year when I was looking for my first property. He helped me refine my brief, tirelessly inspected properties and was able to get me access to a series of great off-markets. When I found two places I liked he negotiated BOTH simultaneously until I had two sellers ready to accept my offer! This resulted in me purchasing my Elizabeth Bay flat which had been my absolute favourite among everything I had seen. Dan’s skills in landing my property were something to behold and I couldn’t be more happy with it. Dan is hard working, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and to work with him again next time.

Roland Chanin-Morris

We recently engaged Dan at Unicorn Buyers Agents to find, negotiate and ultimately purchase our first home. After our initial meeting, Dan understood the position we were in and what we were after. He was regularly in contact providing updates on properties he had viewed on our behalf and within a month we had purchased our first home. His knowledge of the industry is incredible as is his ability to negotiate. Without Dan we would have paid significantly more for our home.

Sydney’s Inner West is a sprawl of villages within villages and could be described as the organic alt sibling to Sydney’s East and North with an emphasis on craft, creativity and community mindedness.

North Shore

The North Shore features many beautiful homes but often without the ostentatiousness of the East. We find a substantial number of properties trade quietly off-market and credibility and local relationships are required to have visibility across the everything that might be available to purchase.

Sydney City

We have experienced a renewed interest in the Sydney city fringe life from clients and are always buying for singles, couples, young families, and older downsizers looking to return from the suburbs and rejoin the action.

Analysing the ‘Wait and See’ Approach: Real Estate Appraisal and Negotiation Evaluation

Blog

As a buyers agent I have the privilege of experiencing property market action at the ‘coal face’. Every day I speak with sellers and buyers across Sydney for apartments, terraces, houses. A common approach many are taking since interest rates increased and property prices softened has been to ‘wait and see’ what happens. Potential sellers wait and see because they’re fearful of not achieving a good price. Our psychological and financial well-being is closely tied to our property wealth and we go to great lengths to avoid selling and losing out. This is why the level ...

Make A Cooling Off Waiver Work For You: Real Estate Appraisal and Negotiation Tactics

Blog

Generally a property sale by private treaty in all states of Australia except WA allows for cooling off. This is a period of two to five days in which you can decide not to proceed with the purchase for any reason. It’s a different story when you’re purchasing property at an auction where there is no cooling off period. When the hammer falls, the sale is unconditional, because auction conditions allow this, and there will be a cooling off waiver included the contract. In NSW this is called a section 66w and it must be signed by your ...
