Our approach
A clear, consistent process — start to finish.
01
Pre-contract review
We review the contract before you sign — flagging risks and proposing amendments while you still have leverage.
02
Conditions period
We track finance, building & pest and any due diligence dates, and liaise with brokers, agents and inspectors on your behalf.
03
Settlement preparation
Searches, statement of adjustments, transfer documents and lender coordination — all confirmed in writing before the settlement date.
04
Settlement & after
We attend electronic settlement via PEXA, confirm registration of transfer, and provide a final report for your records.
Questions
Property Law — answered.
The questions we are most often asked. Not a substitute for advice on your specific matter.
- Yes — wherever possible. Once a standard REIQ contract is signed in Queensland, your ability to walk away is limited to the conditions written into the contract. A pre-signing review lets us negotiate amendments and special conditions while you still have full leverage.
