Process

Eight steps to your new home

We break the purchase journey into eight clear stages, each with a dedicated team member. You'll always know what's next.

  1. 1

    Brief & Strategy

    Unlimited initial consultation. We design your buying strategy around government policy, finance, legal and current market direction.

  2. 2

    Property Search

    Once your scope, finance and tax structure are clear, we run comprehensive market searches, due diligence, and shortlist the best options.

  3. 3

    On-site Inspection

    Each Saturday we inspect shortlisted properties in person, verify condition, capture details desk-research can't, and produce video, photos and a complete assessment.

  4. 4

    Offer & Negotiation

    We run multi-round offers and negotiations on properties that meet your brief, with real-time updates throughout — so you never miss the right one.

  5. 5

    Contract Signing

    Once terms are agreed, KT works with our solicitor partners to walk you through every clause, manage signing, and negotiate any further amendments.

  6. 6

    Inspection & Finance

    Trusted mortgage brokers and building & pest inspectors confirm finance terms, inspection findings and insurance — securing both property quality and settlement funds.

  7. 7

    Final Verification & Settlement

    In the week before settlement we run a final property and settlement-status check, ensuring a seamless title transfer on the day.

  8. 8

    Property Management & Care

    Settlement isn't the end — it's the start of a new chapter. We continue providing maintenance advice and property management for both owner-occupiers and investors.

Client Value

Five ways KT delivers more

Each transaction can save clients $100,000+ — KT's combined value across time, negotiation, sourcing, rationality and detail.

01

Reclaim Your Time

Typical buyers spend 6–12 months on a purchase. 80% of KT clients complete theirs in 2–6 weeks with professional support.

02

Smarter Valuation & Negotiation

Beyond gut-feel offers, KT brings rigorous data and experience — typically negotiating $20K–$30K of savings, sometimes reaching 3–5% of the purchase price.

03

On & Off Market Access

More listings mean more opportunities and less competition. Sharp instincts and an industry network keep our clients consistently ahead.

04

Emotional Insulation

KT inspects close to a thousand properties every year. Every offer rests on data, never on sales talk or auction-day adrenaline.

05

Detail & Guidance

From the first thought to the keys in hand, every misstep has a cost. KT's experience minimises unnecessary spend at every stage.

Common Questions

What clients ask us first

How much does a buyer's agent cost?

Our full-service fee is 1.5% of the purchase price + GST, formally documented via the Queensland Form 6 contract. For properties above $5M, the fee is capped at 1.5% of $5M — no further increase. Single-service work (negotiation-only, auction-only, etc.) is quoted separately. For most clients, the savings we negotiate alone cover our fee.

Do you accept commissions or kickbacks from sellers or developers?

Never. KT works exclusively for buyers — no commissions, kickbacks or referral fees from any third party. That's the core of our independence.

How long does the buying process take?

80% of KT clients complete the journey in 2–6 weeks. Sharper briefs in active sub-markets move faster; bespoke needs or quieter markets take longer. We never rush a transaction just to close one.

I've already found a property — can you just handle the negotiation?

Yes. We offer independent negotiation services covering valuation, risk assessment and full negotiation — no full search required.

Do you serve overseas and interstate clients?

Up to 70% of our clients are overseas PRs or interstate movers and investors. On your behalf we handle in-person inspections, video walk-throughs, contract review, building & pest, and pre-settlement checks — with bilingual support so language and time-zone are never barriers.
