Fee model and payment
What is the engagement fee, what is the success fee, and when is each payable?
Ask for the amounts, GST treatment, refund terms and any engagement-fee credit in writing. A partly published fee still needs the missing component confirmed. Check this field.
Minimum purchase
Does my purchase brief meet your minimum, and what does the minimum cover?
The comparison shows only a published minimum. “Not published” does not establish that there is no minimum. Check this field.
Licence holder
Which licensed entity or principal will act under the agreement?
Match the appointment to the state register identity. The comparison labels individual principal licences separately from company licences. Check this field.
Disclosed acquisitions
Which completed commercial acquisitions can you show in the asset type and location I need?
Our count covers qualifying acquisitions disclosed on the agency website. Open the individual source records to see their asset types and locations. Check this field.
Scope and coverage
What does the appointment include for this asset and location?
Check the published asset classes and cities against the proposed work. Ask how search, assessment, negotiation and completion coordination are scoped. Check this field.
Who the business acts for
Does the business also offer services to sellers, and how will it represent me in this transaction?
Seller services and related firms are disclosed in the agency notes. Check the appointment and any conflicts directly with the agent. Check this field.
NSW Government sets out questions about licensing, representation, fees and appointment terms. Consumer Affairs Victoria also addresses seller services and competing buyer briefs. NSW Government; Consumer Affairs Victoria.
