Full Service Buyer's Agent
AcquiredHQ offers a full-service buyer's agent service for owner-occupiers and investors purchasing property above $800,000 in Newcastle NSW, Lake Macquarie and Port Stephens. Our all-inclusive Complete Search & Secure property buying service is a complete buyer advocacy package that manages the process from a clear brief through search, assessment, negotiation and agreed purchase support.
You work directly with Chad Dunn throughout. The search is not handed to an assistant or junior buyer's agent.
- Define the location, property and budget brief.
- Search on-market listings and available off-market opportunities.
- Inspect and shortlist suitable properties.
- Assess comparable sales and coordinate specialist checks.
- Negotiate or bid, then support the agreed purchase steps.
How The Service Works
Define The Brief
Chad confirms your property requirements, target areas, timing and budget parameters. Relocation, upsizer, sea-change, tree-change and city-change requirements are tested against the practical brief.
Search And Shortlist
AcquiredHQ monitors suitable listings, speaks with local selling agents and inspects properties that match the brief. Available off-market and relevant mortgagee-in-possession opportunities may be considered, but access cannot be guaranteed.
Assess The Property
We review the property, relevant comparable sales and its position in the current local market so you can buy on informed terms at a price supported by the available evidence.
Coordinate Due Diligence
We help coordinate information from your solicitor, lender and any building, pest, strata or other specialists you appoint.
Negotiate And Purchase
We agree on a strategy and authorised buying limit, then negotiate or bid where included and support the later steps covered by the engagement.
Why Work With AcquiredHQ
The selling agent is appointed by the vendor. AcquiredHQ represents you as the buyer and does not act for the vendor in the purchase transaction.
Chad Dunn is a Class 1 licensed real estate agent and buyer's advocate with more than 25 years of property-industry experience. You work directly with Chad from the first brief through the agreed purchase stages. Technology may support research and administration, but the service is led by Chad's local knowledge, inspection work, judgement and negotiation.
AcquiredHQ does not accept undisclosed referral commissions or operate through undisclosed alliances. Chad has provided property commentary to ABC News and other property media.

Local Buyers Agent Coverage

Newcastle NSW
Established inner-city, coastal and suburban markets where comparable sales can change significantly between nearby streets and property types.
Lake Macquarie
Lakeside, coastal and suburban areas where waterfront position, topography, access and travel times need to be tested against the brief.
Port Stephens
Coastal and lifestyle markets where property condition, distance to services and campaign timing can affect the decision.
Need Negotiation Support, But Not The Search?
Full service includes the property brief, search and shortlisting. Negotiation Only begins after you have found the property and want focused assessment and negotiation support.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Does A Full Service Buyer's Agent Do?
A full-service buyer's agent manages the buying process from the property brief through search, inspection, assessment, negotiation and agreed purchase support. AcquiredHQ calls its full buyer's agent service Complete Search & Secure.
What Is Included In The Property Search?
AcquiredHQ searches suitable advertised properties, communicates with local agents and considers available opportunities that are not broadly marketed. Relevant mortgagee-in-possession opportunities may also be assessed when available. The signed agreement confirms the exact search area and inclusions.
Can AcquiredHQ Find Off-Market Properties?
AcquiredHQ may identify properties that are not broadly advertised through local agent relationships. Every opportunity is refined against the brief and assessed for quality. Availability depends on the market and cannot be guaranteed.
Can AcquiredHQ Bid At Auction?
Auction preparation and bidding representation can be provided where included in the engagement. Finance, legal review, specialist checks and bidding authority should be settled before auction day.
How Is Full Service Different From Negotiation Only?
Full service includes the property brief, search and shortlisting. Negotiation Only begins after you have found the property and want focused assessment and negotiation support.
Can AcquiredHQ Help If I Am Also Selling?
Full Service clients selling within AcquiredHQ's local service area can ask whether limited vendor-advocacy support is available as a complimentary or discounted inclusion. Availability, suburbs and exact scope must be confirmed before engagement.
When Should I Contact AcquiredHQ?
Contact AcquiredHQ before starting a serious search, particularly if you are relocating, comparing areas or refining an upsizer, sea-change, tree-change or city-change brief.
