Fee Structure & Payment Terms
Acknowledgement of Instruction will be when the Registration Form has been signed, returned and the Registration Fee is paid. A non-refundable deposit of US$1,000.00 is required prior to starting our search (deducted from the final payment) for purchased properties and US$800.00 for rental properties. The Instruction Period is16 weeks (subject to our Terms and Conditions - available upon request).
A Success Fee of 2.5% of the agreed purchase price - or 25% of the total amount saved from the asking price after negotiations on your behalf on a property, whichever is the greater, is payable upon exchange of contracts. Payment of the final fee is due in full on exchange of contracts for the purchase of a property. There is a minimum fee per assignment of US$5,000.
You may be interested to know that many clients using home search services can save up to four times more than the fees charged. Up to 60% of properties acquired may be sourced 'off-market'; meaning the majority of clients got to purchase properties which they would not have found without professional assistance. Typically from the date of receiving your instructions to proceed, we would expect a client to have completed on the purchase of a property within three to six months from the date we commenced their property search.
