Master Advocates

Master Advocates quotes per job rather than publishing a price. Across the market, buyer's agents charge either a percentage of the purchase price, commonly 1.5% to 2.5%, or a fixed fee of about $8,000 to $30,000 for a full search-and-negotiate service. Negotiation or auction bidding on its own costs less, often from a few hundred dollars, and most agencies add an engagement fee at signing that comes off the final invoice. Our buyer's agent fees guide compares the models, or ask Master Advocates for a figure.

You do. A buyer's agent is engaged and paid by the buyer, which keeps their advice independent of the sale. The selling agent is paid by the vendor and acts for the vendor. When you brief Master Advocates, they work for you alone.

Most buyer's agents follow the same path: an initial consultation on your brief and budget, then searching and shortlisting, inspecting and appraising properties, negotiating or bidding at auction, and coordinating the contract through to settlement. Ask Master Advocates which of those steps their service covers and which you are expected to handle yourself.
