Property Negotiation Service

Scott Aggett from Hello Haus is an innovative nationwide property negotiation service that assist buyers in winning the property at the right price.  Scott’s 20yr career as a leading real estate agent enables him to navigate through the buying process faster, reducing emotional strain, minimising your risks and giving you peace of mind, you paid the lowest price possible.

As a special VIP ICM client, he has reduced his upfront commitment fee by 15% from the normal $3500 + GST retainer. Which incidentialy ‘stays in play’ until you buy (no time limit)

You only pay the success fee of 15% of any amount saved below the Target Price is payable if applicable, ie not from the unrealistic asking price the seller starts with.

This is a unique service and one a number of my private mentoring clients have used many times. On average he is saving clients $25-30k below their Target Price, meaning the fee typically runs to circa $7.5k. Every deal is different though, depending on the price point, competition + where you set the target. Some don’t pay more than the initial engagement fee.

Need help in choosing an agent to sell your property – well here is a free service

Scott been helping people choose the best agent for their property sale and negotiating them a better commission rate for 15 years. This was part of his day to day activity as a leading agent when he was a real estate agent based in Sydney. He now offers this service to those looking to sell their properties anywhere in Australia. The best part is that the service is free of charge to you because the agents pay a referral fee to him. There is a standard fee within the real estate industry, so it doesn’t influence who he suggests.

He researches which agent is the right fit is for each individual property, ie one that has runs on the board for the property you are looking at selling, he then has them pitch for the business as they normally would, he then reviews the pitches and makes a recommendation to you and even then negotiates with them on their fee lower (if possible ) to save you more money. This is a win win win

Why use such a service? It’s our ability to find the right agent who has the best chance to sell your home for a premium result, at the end of the day that is most sellers’ goal. And it’s free of course…

ALI Insurance

As part of your loan recommendations we will offer you insurance for trauma and life from ALI insurance. There are many benefits of being adequately insured especially when you are taking out large amounts of lending. Protecting your family with insurance is important and hence we see it is our duty to discuss that with you. However one of the other benefits of ALI insurance is their Extra Benefits Program. I personally use this service and get 5% of every weekly shop at Woolworths, not to mention the odd bottle of wine from Dan Murphy’s plus higher discounts from Target and many many other specialty shops. I personally have saved over $500 in the last year. This goes along way to assist you in covering the cost of this insurance. We will ask you if you would like this cover please consider your current cover and how is fits your needs.

 

Moving Home Assistance
Sometimes we all need a little help and that is why I have worked with Moving Hub (in business for over 10 years) to assist you with your move, they cover everything from finding the best price on movers all the way to getting all your utilities and even your internet setup. Actually they can even organise cleaners for the property you are leaving!

Depreciation Schedule

Investors will find getting a quantity survey a way for them to claim the depreciation on the building and in some instances the fixtures and fittings. In the last few years there have been a number of changes to what can and can’t be depreciated however it is worth checking. These reports typically cost $700 however if they can’t find at least that in claims for you then usually the guarantee has your money returned. It is well worth checking
