Question 1

What does a building broker actually do?

Accepted Answer

A building broker finds you land, matches it to a builder that suits your budget and your block, and negotiates the build on your behalf. Think of it the way you'd think about a mortgage broker: we look across the market instead of selling you one product.

Question 2

What's the difference between a building broker and a builder?

Accepted Answer

A builder builds one range of homes and employs the people who sell them. We don't build anything. We're independent, which means we can compare builders honestly and tell you when one isn't right for you.

Question 3

How much does it cost to use a building broker in Perth?

Accepted Answer

Nothing. Builders pay us from their marketing budget, which is the same money they'd otherwise spend advertising to reach you directly. It doesn't get added to your build price or your land price.

Question 4

If builders pay you, how are you independent?

Accepted Answer

Builders pay us from their marketing budget rather than you paying us. What any individual builder pays has never been how we decide who to recommend. That's why we can tell you when a builder's pricing has drifted or their timelines have blown out, and we do.

Question 5

Do you only work in Perth?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We're a WA business and Perth is what we know. We used to list eastern states property and stopped, because being genuinely good at one market beats being average across six.

Question 6

Can I still use my own builder?

Accepted Answer

Usually, yes. Plenty of people come to us already approved and builder-picked, and just stuck on land. We'll work with your builder, and we'll be straight with you if the block you want doesn't suit their designs.

Question 7

Can I customise my house design?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. How far you can go depends on the builder and the block, and some changes cost far more than others. We'll tell you which changes are worth making and which ones will blow the budget for very little gain.

Question 8

What happens at the first conversation?

Accepted Answer

You tell us your budget, the suburbs you're interested in, and whether you've already got a builder or finance in mind. We tell you what's realistic right now. It takes about fifteen minutes and there's no cost or obligation.
