Buyer Advocacy Fees

Find the right service for you!

Home buying is hard enough without looking over your shoulder for hidden fees and Buyer’s Agents working off a percentage-based agent commission. At Property Home Base we have structured our Buyer’s Agent Fees with your needs and budget in mind.

 

Property Home Base Agents work for you and advocate for your home-buying goals on a simple, flat-fee basis. That means no hidden expenses, real estate agent commission, or surprise charges.

 

To avoid losing thousands of dollars by trying to tackle the property market on your own, Property Home Base Buyers’ Advocates are here to help. Schedule a no-pressure, free consultation today!

  • The Property Home Base Advantage

    Buying a house is a major milestone in your life and not a small decision to make. Additionally, whether this is your first home or your fourth, the buyer’s experience is rarely easy without professional assistance. 


    A Buyer’s Advocate from Property Home Base is your secret weapon. 


    Instead of charging a percentage of the purchase price like other Buyer’s Agents, we set up our structure so you have a predictable flat fee you can rely on. We created a solution that can fit your budget and work with your best interests in mind.


    Most people don’t have time to scour the internet for listings, drive up and down their favourite neighbourhood hoping to see a “for sale” sign, go to inspections or handle negotiations on their own. Because we have a large team, you can have this consultation with an Advocate that specialises in the locations of your choice.


    We’re here to help reimagine what home buying could be — predictable, simple, straightforward, and fun. Sign up for a no-pressure, free consultation with a Property Home Base Advocate in your area today!

What You Need To Get Started

Before getting started, you should know how much you want to spend from beginning to end. It is also good to have an understanding of what your “dream” home looks like, such as the location, house type, lot size, maintenance level, and especially the price.

 

When you reach out to a Property Home Back advocate, we can go over the processes that might suit you best, but most importantly, find out about what you are hoping to achieve with your next property purchase. There are no wrong answers when you work with us.

 

If you’re ready to make the home buying process something fun and exciting — something you can look forward to — contact one of our experts today for a free consultation!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a Buyer’s Advocate?

    A Buyer’s Advocate or Buyer’s Agent is hired by you, the buyer, to work on your behalf to buy a new home. 


    At Property Home Base, we charge a flat fee and help you from start to finish — every step of the way. We are experienced Buyer’s Agents and understand the processes involved in buying a home. Objectivity is our specialty, so we can negotiate the best possible outcome for you.

  • What does a Buyer’s Advocate do?

    We’ll work as much or as little as you need to help you find the house you want. From making a wish list to guiding you through signing the final contract for your new home — we’re there for you every step of the way. 

  • What is the difference between a flat fee and other pricing models?

    Our flat fee model means that we charge the same rate for our service no matter how much you purchase your property for, or how much work we do on your behalf. This means that we will help you find the best house regardless of how much time it takes or the number of properties we look at for you. When we are guiding you on target purchase prices, you can be comfortable that we have nothing to gain from you spending more, and that our recommendations are objectively unbiased! Other pricing models work off of charging their clients a percentage, duration, referrals, and more — which may, or may not, be included in their quote for their services and could result in paying much more than what you bargained for. 

  • How long does the service last?

    Once you engage our service, there is no end date. We will have a consultation about your needs, goals, price range, and more, then help guide you through each step of the process. We’ll help you find the right Real Estate Agent, Mortgage Broker, and more, negotiate the price of your new home, and ensure the contracting process is fast and easy.

  • How many properties will you inspect for that fee?

    There is no limit to the number of properties we can inspect and search for on your behalf. We’ll work together to find you the home that checks the boxes on your list.

  • When is the Buyer Agent's flat fee due?

    The balance is due five business days after the purchase of your home is unconditional. For our Negotiate or Bid Only Service, or our Consult and Negotiate Service, if you are unsuccessful at purchasing your target property, your initial Engagement Fee can be put toward another service of your choice, if you choose to work with us further. 

  • Does your fee structure include a Building and Pest Inspection?

    The short answer is no. Our fees do not include this. We’ll recommend approved building and pest inspectors that we have worked with for a number of years. We take no kickbacks or shared fees for these recommendations.

  • Do you pay more with or without a Buyer's Agent?

    A Buyer’s Agent can save you a lot of time and money in finding a home by identifying the house you’re looking for and negotiating the best price possible. 

  • What is the Private Treaty property sale method?

    A private treaty property sale method refers to a sale where the seller determines the value of their property and will then negotiate with buyers for the final price of the home. You will never meet the other bidders on the home and there is a cooling-off period where you can back out if you need to.

  • What is an Auction sale?

    An auction sale refers to a property that is sold in a bidding-like setting. The seller will list the property at a minimum price or a range, and buyers will bid on the home. Your Buyer’s Advocate will bid on your behalf, negotiate the price down, and secure the best possible sale among other people. You have more flexibility than in a traditional auction to make a bid and for the seller to accept it. There is no cooling-off period. 

  • Do you need to sell another property before you buy?

    ● This is completely up to you! We can refer you to a seller advocate from Property Home Base for more information, but here are the boiling points:


    Of course, this is not necessary if you’re buying property in addition to your current home. However, if you plan on purchasing a new home to live in, the process is as flexible as your financial situation. 

     

    Selling your current home first does make sense for several reasons but there are both benefits and drawbacks. If you sell your current home first, you know exactly how much money you have to work with in buying a new one, you’ll likely not need a bridging loan, and you won’t need to rush the sale of your home because you’re trying to balance two mortgages. However, if you sell your house before you can settle into a new one, you risk rising housing prices and the cost of temporary housing.

  • Is a Buyer’s Advocate necessary to buy a home?

    Unless you have a trusty Real Estate Agent friend in your back pocket, a Buyer’s Agent creates incredible value in buying a home. We can help you find homes that haven’t even hit the market yet, taking the burden off your shoulders and more. 


    For first-time home buyers, we’re an incredibly valuable resource for understanding how the property market works. For investors looking for an investment property, we offer a unique strategic approach offering AI to ensure the purchase is as risk-free as possible.
