Our fees are straightforward. Buying typically costs $X–$Y depending on the property price, and selling costs $A–$B. We'll provide a fixed quote before you commit. There are no hidden fees—we're transparent about what's included and any additional costs like title searches or certificate fees.
For purchases, the average settlement takes 6–8 weeks from contract signing. For sales, preparation of documents usually takes 1–2 weeks, then the sale process depends on buyer financing. We keep you informed of every milestone and work to meet your timeline.
