Representing buyers only
Your best outcome is our only job. We act for buyers alone, so every negotiation is about your price and your terms.
Buy well, with two Perth locals who only ever act for buyers. We’ll give you a straight read on value and negotiate on your behalf, right through to settlement.
Why Choose Acquire
Buying property isn’t something you do every week. We’re Max and Tim, the two Perth buyers agents behind every Acquire purchase, and between our own networks, your search gets double the coverage.
Why Choose Acquire
With an agent on your side, you see more of the market and pay the right price for the property you choose.
Your best outcome is our only job. We act for buyers alone, so every negotiation is about your price and your terms.
You’ll get a first look at properties before they reach the portals, and many that never will. Selling agents bring them to us early, knowing our clients are ready to proceed.
Buy knowing what a property is worth and exactly what condition it’s in. Max has a background in property valuation, and Tim spent over a decade in construction.
You’ll work with Max and Tim directly on every brief, from the first call to the final inspection. Your search stays between you and us.
“Tim helped me buy a house that will be perfect for me… He genuinely cared that I find the right house and identified every possible problem so I knew exactly what I was buying.”
“Max was on the ball the whole way through, super responsive, genuinely had my back… He knew the market, gave straight-up advice, and handled all the stuff behind the scenes so I didn’t have to.”
“We had a great experience with Max and the team. Helped us find the perfect property for our requirements and at an amazing price. Will definitely be referring to our friends and using them in our future purchases.”
“All team members, especially Max, were absolute professionals and went above and beyond at every opportunity. Couldn’t imagine going through this process without Acquire and will definitely return in future.”
The Process
As your property buyers agent in Perth, we’ll walk you through each step and make sure you’re comfortable before we move on to the next.
It starts with a private conversation about what you want from this purchase, now and 20 years down the line. If you’re investing, we’ll go through the numbers that matter to you.
You finish this step with: a clear brief, and a buying strategy built around it.
You’ll see off-market properties in Perth as well as what’s listed, drawn from both our networks. We inspect on your behalf and bring you only the ones that fit your brief.
You finish this step with: a shortlist that’s worth your time.
Before you commit, every property goes through our 35-point due diligence check. We look at what it’s worth and what the marketing doesn’t show, then talk you through what we find.
You finish this step with: the full picture, before you make an offer.
Price is only one part of the deal. We find out what matters to the seller, whether that’s more time or a buyer they can rely on, and use it to strengthen your offer.
You finish this step with: the property secured, on terms that work for you.
Once your offer is accepted, we work with your settlement agent and broker to keep everything on track, and sort out any issues that come up before you collect the keys.
You finish this step with: the keys, and someone to call next time.
Who We Work With
Every buyer brings a different brief, and we approach each one on its own terms.
You’ll only spend time on homes worth seeing. We search privately for your upgrade or second home, with your plans for the next 10 or 20 years in mind.
You’ll have a local read you can trust, even if you’re investing from interstate. As your investment property buyers agent in Perth, we weigh the returns and any development potential, then move quickly once the numbers stack up.
Buying premises for your business, or an asset to lease out? Commercial property rewards a closer look. As your commercial buyers agent in Perth, we check the lease and the tenant behind it before you commit.
If you’re moving to Western Australia from interstate or overseas, we’ll be your eyes on the ground. We inspect on your behalf and talk you through the suburbs over video call or email.
Before You Enquire
A buyers agent, sometimes called a buyers advocate, represents you when you buy a property, so there’s a professional on your side in every conversation with the seller’s agent. With us, that covers your private briefing, off-market and on-market sourcing, due diligence, negotiation and everything leading up to settlement.
It depends on your situation. If you know the market well and have time to inspect, you may be fine on your own. Most of our clients come to us for access to property they can’t find themselves, and someone to negotiate on their behalf. And 78% of our clients secured their property below initial vendor expectations. If you’re still weighing it up, read what you really get for your money with a buyers agent.
Our fee comes in two parts: an engagement fee to start your search, and an acquisition fee based on the purchase price, which is invoiced once we secure your property and paid at settlement. We’ll go through the exact figures in your first conversation and confirm them in writing before you commit. There’s more on how buyers agent fees compare with what they save you on our blog.
You only pay the acquisition fee once we’ve secured a property for you. The engagement fee covers your private briefing and the search itself. If your plans change along the way, talk to us and we’ll work through it with you.
A selling agent is engaged by the seller, and their job is to get the seller the best result. A buyers agent is engaged by you, so every piece of advice and every negotiation is about your outcome. We only ever act for buyers.
An off-market property is one that sells without being publicly advertised. Some owners prefer a quiet sale without the cost of a full campaign, so selling agents take those properties to buyers agents they know have finance-ready buyers. Between our two networks, 85% or more of the properties we buy are sourced this way. Here’s more on how we source off-market properties in Perth.
It helps to have your finance in place, or at least pre-approval, before we start searching. Selling agents bring off-market property to buyers who can move quickly, so being ready puts you in a stronger position when the right one comes up.
On average, it takes us 21 days to secure a property once you’ve engaged us. Settlement then follows the timeline in your contract. If you’re buying a home and want to see a few options first, we’ll go at your pace.
You’ll work directly with Max and Tim, and you’ll have both their mobile numbers. They each bring their own network to your search, and Nataya, our administrator, keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes.
Yes. We inspect properties on your behalf and keep you updated over video call or email, so you can buy before you arrive in Perth. If you’re not an Australian citizen or permanent resident, extra government approvals and costs can apply, so we’ll point you to the right advisers early. We’ve also written about buying in Perth from interstate or overseas.
Yes. We buy commercial property for clients purchasing premises for their own business, or an asset to lease out. Commercial due diligence goes deeper, so we look closely at the lease and the tenant before you commit.
We cover the whole Perth metro area, and we’re happy to travel further across WA for the right brief.
Who We Are
We’re a small, close-knit team, so you’ll get to know all of us along the way.
Buyers Agent
Tim brings experience in private investment and real estate, along with more than a decade in the construction industry. That background means he knows what to look for beneath the surface of a property, and clients often mention how upfront he is about what he finds. Away from work, he’s a father of two and an active part of the Mt Claremont community, as chair of the local farmers market and a member of the primary school P&C.
Buyers Agent
Max holds a bachelor’s degree majoring in property development and valuation, and has built a property portfolio of his own. He’s quick to see what a property is worth and where its development potential lies, and clients value his straight-up advice. His relationships with selling agents and private sellers bring clients opportunities they wouldn’t find on their own.
Administrator
Nataya brings more than 10 years of experience in marketing and real estate, with a strong communications background. She’s the organised, friendly presence behind the scenes, keeping every purchase running smoothly so clients can focus on the decisions that matter.
