Common Questions About
Working with FUTR

Honest answers to what people ask before they decide to work with a buyers agent.
How long does the search take?

It depends on the brief, the budget, and what the market is doing. Some clients secure a property within days of engaging us — others take a few months, particularly when the brief is specific or the budget is competitive. We’ll give you a realistic expectation at the consultation stage. We’d always rather take the time to find the right property than rush you into the wrong one.

A significant portion of what we secure for clients is either off-market or pre-market — properties that never appear on the public portals. Our direct-to-owner approach and local agent relationships open up access that most buyers simply can’t replicate on their own. It varies depending on the brief, but it’s a meaningful part of how we operate.
No problem at all — that’s what our Negotiate Only service is for. You bring the property, we assess it independently, value it properly, and negotiate the best possible outcome on your behalf. You pay 1.0% of the purchase price, and you get the benefit of professional due diligence and negotiation without starting the search from scratch.

Not at all. We work across a wide range of budgets and property types — from first home buyers to investors to families upgrading or downsizing. If we can genuinely add value for your situation, we’ll tell you. And if we can’t, we’ll tell you that too.

Worth thinking about it this way: a buyers agent typically pays for itself in the negotiation alone — before you factor in the time saved, the mistakes avoided, and the off-market access you wouldn’t have had on your own. We’re happy to run through how the numbers work for your specific situation on the initial chat. There’s no commitment involved.

They can, and that’s genuinely valuable. There’s a difference, though, between knowing property generally and knowing this specific market at a transactional level — which suburbs are worth buying in right now, how to value a specific property against real current data, and how to negotiate with a professional sales agent who does this every day. We complement good advice from people you trust. We don’t replace it.
We hear this one regularly. Off-market access comes from relationships built over years — with local agents, with homeowners, through door knocking and direct outreach. It operates within the context of the full service. You’re also welcome to use our Negotiate Only service if you’ve already found the property — but off-market access isn’t something we provide as a standalone product.
We’ll talk through this properly at the consultation stage. We’re not interested in locking people into long agreements — we’re interested in working with buyers who want to engage us because we’re genuinely adding value. Ask us on the call and we’ll be straight with you.
Yes. Bernard holds a full real estate licence in both QLD and NSW, so we can assist with purchases in both states.

We’ll be transparent about this on the initial call and at the consultation stage. The engagement deposit and fee structure will be clearly outlined before you commit to anything.
