Take advantage of this limited window of opportunity by using part of the grant to hire an expert buyers agent to assist you in saving every possible cent on the purchase price of your first home here in Sydney.  As more buyers take advantage of this increase, we anticipate price increases in current housing stock, just as there was in 2000 when the grant was first introduced, so get in early and beat the rush to maximize your savings.

Here at House Search we ensure you save time, stress and money by having us on your side in the buying process.  Not only will we ensure you don’t overpay, but that your property purchase process is as smooth and stress-free as possible, your decision to buy is based on facts and not emotion, and in the most efficient timeframe possible.

As a special offer for eligible first home buyers only, House Search will accept success fee payment upon settlement, or within 7 days of your receipt of the new grant.  Take advantage of this special offer by calling us today to see how we can help.
