Payment plans
Pay your buyers agent fee monthly, not all at once
A buyers agent fee usually falls due at settlement, right when your deposit, stamp duty and loan costs land. We let you spread it. You start with a retainer from $1,000, which comes off your fee, then choose how to pay the rest.
- Pay at settlement
Nothing more until you buy. The balance is paid at settlement, with nothing added.
- 3 months, interest-free
Split the balance into three monthly payments, with no interest at any point.
- 12, 24 or 36 months
Smaller monthly payments. No interest while we search, and the first 3 months are interest-free. After you buy, 0.5% a month applies to what is still owing.
- Pay it off early, any time
Clear the balance whenever you like and the interest stops. You pay what is left of the fee.
- Worked out on the price you pay
Payments start on your estimated price. When you buy, the fee is worked out again on the actual price, and anything paid over is refunded.
- More of your savings for the deposit
Spreading the fee keeps more of your cash for the deposit and buying costs, which is where it counts.
Illustrative example: on a $750,000 purchase our fee is $12,000, GST included. After a $1,000 retainer you could pay the $11,000 balance at settlement, as $3,666.67 a month for 3 months with no interest, or from $458.33 a month on the 24-month plan.

I’ve bought two properties through Scott and both have been excellent buys. He found great value in strong locations, and the growth has been solid. Because of the results from those first two, I’m now in a position to buy another two investment properties and I’ll definitely be using Scott again.
