Six deliberate steps, zero guesswork

A structured process designed to take you from unclear to confident, at every stage.

Consultation

We map your goals, budget, timeline, property type, and target suburbs, and we ask the questions many buyers have not thought through yet. A clear brief now saves time and cost later.

What we deliver

A clear record of your property brief and search criteria
Honest market education on current Perth conditions and realistic expectations
A confirmed next step and timeline

By the end of this step, you'll have a written brief and a realistic picture of what is achievable in the current Perth market.

Strategy

We build a plan for suburbs, property type, budget range, and risk, backed by recent comparable sales. You enter the market with something achievable, not a wish list.

What we deliver

A written property strategy document with your agreed brief and search criteria
Suburb shortlist with rationale for each inclusion
A clear brief to guide the active search phase

By the end of this step, you'll have a written strategy document and a defined suburb shortlist, ready for active search.

Market Research

We track listings, sales, and agents in your target areas, including pre-market opportunities. Every shortlist item is pre-checked against your brief so you only see real matches.

What we deliver

Regular property shortlists with written notes on each option
Access to off-market and pre-market properties not publicly listed
Ongoing suburb and market updates as conditions change

By the end of this step, you'll have reviewed real options that match your brief and have a clear sense of what is available in your target suburbs.

Evaluation

We inspect, compare sales, and assess value, condition, and risk, including building and pest where needed. You get a clear, evidence-based recommendation, not a gut feel.

What we deliver

Written property assessment with comparable sales analysis and recommended offer range
Building and pest inspection arranged and attended where applicable
A clear buy, pass, or negotiate recommendation with rationale

By the end of this step, you'll know exactly what the property is worth, what risks exist, and whether it is worth pursuing.

Secure

We enter negotiation knowing vendor position, time on market, comparables, and which terms matter. We handle price and conditions with clear updates; at auction we stick to the limit we set together.

What we deliver

Negotiation carried out on your behalf with clear reporting at each stage
Advice on offer strategy, subject-to clauses, and settlement terms
Outcome confirmation and next steps once the offer is accepted or the auction is complete

By the end of this step, you'll have a signed contract on the right property at the right price, with terms that protect your position.

Ongoing Support

After settlement we stay in touch, share relevant market context, and answer questions as life changes. Many clients return for their next purchase; we are here for the long term.

What we deliver

A check-in after settlement to confirm everything went smoothly
Ongoing suburb and market updates relevant to your property
Access to LBBM for questions, referrals, or guidance as your circumstances evolve

By the end of this step, you'll have the keys and a buyer's agent who stays in touch long after the transaction is complete.

Typical timeline

How long does the process usually take?

The timeline varies depending on your brief, market conditions, and how quickly the right property appears. As a general guide:

Discovery

2 to 3 weeks

Consultation, written brief, suburb shortlist, and search criteria so everyone is aligned before we search hard.

Search

4 to 8 weeks

Tight, competitive areas can run longer. Softer markets with more stock can move faster — quality beats rushing.

Negotiation

1 to 2 weeks

From the right property to a signed contract once you are ready to make an offer and we negotiate terms.

Settlement

30 to 45 days

Most WA contracts settle 30 to 45 days from signing. Dates are part of the offer and can be agreed with the other side.

The full process from first conversation to settlement is typically 10 to 16 weeks. Some clients find a property in the first month. Others take three months. The right property at the right price is more valuable than speed.
