Negotiation Only
Negotiation Only Buyer's Agent Service
Completed your own search and found a property? AcquiredHQ reviews the available information, completes general due diligence within a buyer's-agent scope, and negotiates with the selling agent on price and terms.
- Review available property information, comparable sales and market position.
- Identify questions or risks for your appointed specialists.
- Negotiate authorised price and terms with the selling agent.
- Attend the final inspection for the property you purchase.
The service does not include property search or a pre-purchase physical inspection by AcquiredHQ.
Support After You Find The Property
Already Found A Property? Get Buyer-Side Support
Finding the property does not finish the buying decision. You still need to consider how it compares with recent sales, which questions require further investigation and how to approach the selling agent.
The selling agent represents the vendor. AcquiredHQ represents the purchaser, bringing the available property information, market evidence and your instructions into one plan.
This service is for buyers who are comfortable searching for and inspecting properties themselves but want an experienced buyer's agent to review a serious option, support due diligence and take over the negotiation.
Negotiation Only begins after you find the property. It does not include search, sourcing, shortlisting or a pre-purchase physical inspection by AcquiredHQ.
Clear Buyer-Side Support
What The Negotiation Only Service Covers
We cast an experienced buyer-side eye over the available information, complete general due diligence within scope, and negotiate price and terms with the selling agent.
Service Inclusions
- Support for up to three properties found by the client
- An initial review of the property and your buying position
- Review of comparable sales and current market conditions
- Consideration of campaign information and property-specific questions
- General due diligence within a buyer's-agent scope
- Coordination with your appointed specialists where included
- Private treaty strategy and negotiation on price and terms
- Potential attendance at one auction, subject to conditions
- Communication with the selling agent under the agreed engagement
- Attendance at the final inspection before settlement
The buyer's agency agreement confirms exact inclusions, how the three-property limit works and any auction conditions. No agent can guarantee a saving, accepted offer, successful bid or purchase.
Talk To AcquiredHQ Before You Make An Offer
Discuss the property, sale method and support you need before approaching the selling agent.
Why Review Comes Before Negotiation
The negotiation strategy should come from the available evidence, not the advertised price guide alone.
NSW Fair Trading advises buyers to research comparable sales and avoid relying too heavily on an advertised price guide.
AcquiredHQ considers the listing, campaign details, information supplied by you and the selling agent, relevant market evidence and findings from the specialists you appoint.
Legal, finance, building, pest, strata, tax and planning advice must come from appropriately qualified professionals. We can consider their findings within the agreed buyer's-agent scope.
How The Negotiation Only Service Works
The service moves from scope confirmation and property-information review to due diligence, authorised negotiation and the included final inspection.
Share The Property
Send the listing or address and explain the sale method, timing, your own inspection and any contact with the selling agent.
Confirm The Scope
We confirm what is included, who handles each specialist check, how property counting works and any auction conditions.
Review The Information
AcquiredHQ reviews the listing, campaign details and available property information. You inspect the property and arrange specialist reports.
Review Evidence And Risks
We review comparable sales, market position and available information. Your specialists complete the legal, financial and technical work.
Set The Strategy
We agree on the buying limit, offer position, timing, conditions and communication approach.
Negotiate Or Bid
We negotiate authorised price and terms. The service may include attendance at one auction, subject to conditions and agreed authority.
Attend Final Inspection
If you purchase the property, AcquiredHQ attends the final inspection before settlement.
The aim is not to negotiate for the sake of it. It is to make a disciplined property decision on terms you understand.
Private Treaty Negotiation
Price is only one part of an offer. Settlement timing, deposit, inclusions, conditions and readiness to exchange may also affect the vendor's decision.
AcquiredHQ can present the authorised offer, negotiate price and terms, and respond to counteroffers within the agreed strategy.
We do not claim access to confidential vendor information or guarantee acceptance. Ask your solicitor or conveyancer about the contract and proposed terms.
Conditional Auction Bidding Representation
Negotiation Only may include attendance at one auction to bid on your behalf. Conditions apply, and the inclusion must be confirmed with enough time to prepare.
Your property inspection, finance, contract advice, specialist reports, registration, deposit arrangements and buying limit should be settled before bidding.
What This Service Does Not Include
Negotiation Only does not include property search, sourcing, shortlisting or a pre-purchase physical inspection by AcquiredHQ.
It also does not replace professionals responsible for contract review, finance approval, building, pest or strata inspections, tax, planning, engineering or other specialist advice.

When Negotiation Only Is The Right Fit
This service suits buyers who enjoy searching listings, attending open homes and inspecting properties but want experienced representation once a serious option is found.
You should be able to inspect the property, arrange specialist reports and manage your own search if the first option does not proceed.
Full-service buying is more suitable when you still need help defining the brief, comparing areas, finding properties and managing the search.
Local Property Negotiation Across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie And Port Stephens
Negotiation depends on the property, campaign and local market. AcquiredHQ applies regional knowledge without treating every suburb or sale method the same way.
Newcastle
Campaigns vary by property type, price point and suburb. Comparable sales should reflect local differences in street position, land, views, parking and condition.
Lake Macquarie
Lakeside, coastal and suburban markets can differ significantly. Waterfront position, topography, access and building condition all affect value.
Port Stephens
Coastal and lifestyle markets have different property stock and buyer competition. The review should reflect the specific location and campaign.
Discuss The Property Before You Act
Contact AcquiredHQ early enough to confirm scope, review the available evidence and coordinate your specialist checks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Does A Negotiation Only Buyer's Agent Do?
AcquiredHQ reviews a property the client has found, completes general due diligence within a buyer's-agent scope, and negotiates authorised price and terms with the selling agent. The service covers up to three client-sourced properties, subject to the agreement.
Does AcquiredHQ Physically Inspect The Property Before Purchase?
No. You inspect the property and arrange any specialist building, pest, strata or other inspections required.
Is The Final Inspection Included?
Yes. If you purchase the property, AcquiredHQ attends the final inspection before settlement. This is separate from your pre-purchase inspection and specialist reports.
Does AcquiredHQ Review The Contract Of Sale?
Legal contract review and advice must come from your solicitor or licensed conveyancer.
Can AcquiredHQ Bid At Auction For Me?
The service may include attendance at one auction to bid on your behalf. Conditions apply, and the inclusion, bidding authority and preparation requirements must be agreed beforehand.
What If The First Property Is Not Suitable?
The service covers up to three client-sourced properties. The agreement explains when a property counts and what happens when the limit is reached.
How Is Negotiation Only Different From Full-Service Buying?
Negotiation Only starts after you complete the search and find the property. Full-service buying can include the brief, market search, inspections, shortlisting, assessment, negotiation and purchase support.
When Should I Contact AcquiredHQ?
Contact AcquiredHQ when a property becomes a serious option and before making an offer. Potential auction attendance needs enough time to confirm the engagement, complete your checks and set bidding instructions.
