PROPERTY LOOKOUT SERVICE

What is the LOOKOUT Service?

What is it?

The LOOKOUT Service is a 12-month strategic monitoring and opportunity-sourcing service.

You provide us with a highly specific brief, and we act as your eyes and ears in the market — quietly watching, listening, and engaging with our network for the right opportunity to arise.

You pay a Lookout Fee to engage us for this extended period.

You only pay a success fee if and when we successfully secure a suitable property for you.

Who is this Service for?

You might choose our LOOKOUT SERVICE if you:

  • Buyers seeking unique or architecturally significant homes
  • High-end residential buyers targeting tightly held locations
  • Commercial buyers with specific yield, zoning or use requirements
  • Developers looking for potential development sites
  • Investors seeking rare or strategic acquisitions
  • Buyers wanting off-market or pre-market opportunities only
  • Clients who understand that timing matters more than speed
  • Buyers who are not in a hurry but need someone to be their eyes and ears, who deals with property on their behalf, and who acts for the buyer, not the seller.

This gives you confidence and surety that someone else is on the lookout for you should the right property come up for you.

What We Do During the LOOKOUT Period

Throughout the 12-month engagement, we:

  • Maintain an active watch over your target locations and asset types
  • Leverage our senior-level agent relationships across Sydney and NSW
  • Monitor off-market, pre-market and quietly discussed opportunities
  • Engage in discreet conversations with selling agents, owners and industry contacts
  • Assess early intelligence on potential listings
  • Sense-check opportunities before they reach the market
  • Keep your brief front-of-mind when opportunities surface
  • Update you when something genuinely relevant emerges

This is not a volume-based search — it is a targeted, strategic lookout.
