The interstate investor
Buying outside their home state, investing, and short on time to inspect. They have done the suburb research and want someone on the ground. Price your service against the time and mistakes it saves them.
A buyer lead here is someone who told us they are buying or investing, named the suburb and their timeframe, and asked to be matched with one specialist. That makes them a fit for buyers agents: a person looking for representation, not a browser on a listing. One lead, one agent.
Illustrative record. Names and figures are a composite. The fields are exactly what you receive.
Buyer leads come from the specialist match on our suburb, region and comparison pages, where people researching where to buy ask to be matched with someone who can help. The research they did first is usually suburb-level: medians, growth, schools, rental yield.
Every one of these pages is written the same way: real numbers, named sources, the trade-off said out loud. Someone who arrives from one of them has already been treated like an adult, and expects the agent on the phone to do the same.
It arrives by email as a single record, contact details at the top and the form they used in its own line, so you know how they came to us before you dial. At the point they gave their details, the form told them in plain words that a local agent or specialist would contact them.
They are expecting you. See the full breakdown of what every lead includes on the main real estate leads page.

A scheme deadline or a lease ending. They have read the grant and deposit guides and want someone to stop them overpaying. Ask about pre-approval on the first call; it decides your next step.
Buying their next home while selling the current one, in a suburb where good stock goes off-market. They want access and a negotiator. The sell-first-or-buy-first question is often the opening.
Buyers agents can work out what a lead is worth before they buy one. Take your average engagement fee, multiply it by the share of leads that become signed clients, and you have the most a lead is worth to you. Anything below that is margin; anything above it loses money no matter how good the lead feels.
The table uses a $15,000 engagement fee as an example. Plug in your own. The lead-to-client rate is the number to track honestly from your first ten leads, because it moves more with how fast you call and how well you qualify finance than with the lead source.
| Lead-to-client rate | Break-even per lead on a $15,000 fee | Break-even per lead on a $25,000 fee |
|---|---|---|
| 1 in 50 (2%) | $300 | $500 |
| 1 in 20 (5%) | $750 | $1,250 |
| 1 in 10 (10%) | $1,500 | $2,500 |
Illustrative. Engagement fees and conversion rates vary widely by market and service; these are not our prices or a forecast of your results.
None of this is proprietary. It is what the people who convert these enquiries actually do, written down so a new partner can do it from the first lead.
If they chose "text first", text first. Introduce yourself, say how you got their details, and ask when suits for a call.
We do not ask budget or pre-approval on the form. You should, early: pre-approval, deposit and the lender decide whether this is a client now or in three months.
They told us the suburb. Open with what you know about it: recent sales, what is selling off-market, what they should avoid.
Your fee, what is included, and how you are paid, in writing. Buyers who have read our buyers agent cost guide expect it.
Engagements signed, not ready, or unreachable. It sorts replacements fast and tells us which pages produce clients.
You pay for delivered, in-scope leads. No platform fee, no retainer, no set-up charge, and no share of your commission. Priced by lead type, area and the weekly volume you want; quoted in writing before anything starts.
Month to month from the first lead. Raise your cap, lower it, or pause the moment your diary is full. We would rather keep you because the leads list than because a contract says so.
Wrong or disconnected number, outside the suburbs you nominated, or someone who tells you they have already signed with another agent: flag it within seven days and it is replaced.
One lead, one agent, matched to your suburbs. Never shared with a second agent, never resold, never recycled as aged data.
The vetting standard, the cost-per-listing maths and the things we will not promise you are on the main real estate leads page.
A buyer lead is someone planning to buy property who has agreed to be contacted by a professional who can help. Ours are people who told us they are buying or investing, named a suburb and timeframe, and asked to be matched with one specialist.
Mainly buyers agents. The buyer asked for help buying, which is representation. Selling agents who want buyers for their own stock get those through their listings: an enquiry on a listing goes to that listing's agent and is never sold as a lead.
Not yet. The match form asks intent, suburb, timeframe and preferred contact method, then contact details. Budget, deposit and pre-approval are the first things to ask on your call.
Mostly through referrals, past clients, broker and accountant partnerships, content and a local reputation, with paid leads as a top-up. Buyer leads from us suit agents who can call fast and qualify finance early, and who want clients in specific suburbs.
Yes. The buyer asked to be matched with one specialist, and one agent receives the lead. It is not shared or resold.
No. Those readers were told their details would not be passed on, so they are never sold. Buyer leads come only from people who asked to be matched with a specialist.
Tell us your suburbs. Within one business day you will have availability and a written per-lead price, and you commit to nothing until you say so.
