We collect information you give us directly, such as your name, email address, phone number, suburb and budget preferences, property requirements, and anything else you choose to tell us during a discovery call or engagement.

Where you engage us for buyer's or vendor advocacy, we may also collect information necessary to act on your behalf, including finance pre-approval details, identification for contract purposes, and correspondence with agents, brokers and conveyancers.

We also collect limited technical information when you use this website, such as pages visited and general location, through standard analytics.

Why we collect it

  • To provide our services, including searching, assessing, negotiating and settling on property
  • To send you market updates and the resources you have requested, such as The Melbourne Buyer's Edge
  • To meet our legal, contractual and record-keeping obligations

Who we share it with

We only share your information where it is necessary to deliver the service you have engaged us for. That may include selling agents, conveyancers, mortgage brokers, building and pest inspectors and other specialists, and only to the extent required.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not accept referral fees or commissions in exchange for sharing your details with third parties.
