THE PROCESS
Most buyers I work with have never used a buyer’s agent before, so I make the process clear from the start. I walk you through exactly what happens at every stage, so you know what to expect before we even begin.
THE APPROACH IN THREE POINTS
A property only makes the shortlist when the numbers and evidence support it, from its current value and potential risks to its future resale prospects.
01
I have no relationship with the seller, selling agent or property. I work exclusively for you. Securing the best possible outcome for your purchase.
02
I assess every property against value, risk and resale potential before it reaches your shortlist. Excitement never overrides the evidence.
03
You hear from Inga directly, not an assistant. You’ll always know where things stand and what happens next.
THE Five-STEP PROCESS
Here’s the real sequence of events from your first phone call to the day you get the keys.
1
FIRST CALL
A private conversation about your budget, timeline and priorities – no obligation.
Outcome:
You leave the call with a clear understanding of the next steps.
2
THE BRIEF
I turn what you’ve told me into a focused suburb shortlist and a written proposal.
Outcome:
A written plan that keeps the search focused instead of scattered.
3
THE HUNT
I work on-market and off-market and send you a regular shortlist as things come up.
Outcome:
You only see properties that actually match what you asked for.
4
THE CHECK
Before any offer goes in, I run a full, independent check – comparable sales, contract review, valuation.
Outcome:
You know the real number before you ever make an offer.
5
THE DEAL
I negotiate or bid, manage the contract, and see it through to settlement.
Outcome:
A price and terms that reflect the property’s value, not the heat of the moment.
Methodology
Most buyers need the whole search managed. Some just need a second opinion before they sign.
START TO FINISH
I manage the whole thing, strategy through settlement.
FOUND IT YOURSELF
Independent assessment, contract review or negotiation for a property you’ve already found.
Inga C. Arthurs
Licensed buyer’s advocate
I don’t work for the selling agent, and I’m never paid by one – my loyalty is entirely to you. But I do know and deal with local agents regularly; that’s part of how I hear about off-market opportunities and how the job gets done. Knowing the local market and the people in it is a strength, not a conflict – as long as nobody’s paying me on the other side, which nobody is.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Every engagement runs on the same four principles, whether you’re spending $600k or $3 million.
If a property doesn't genuinely fit your brief, you won't hear about it. Ever.
If a property isn't worth the asking price, I will say so, even if you've already fallen for it.
You'll know what's happening without being copied into every email and phone call behind the scenes.
Your budget, your reasons and your limits stay private. What you share with me stays between us, always.
