How We Work
We believe in giving you choice. Every investor has different priorities—some value simplicity and zero upfront costs, others prioritize absolute independence. That's why we offer two engagement models, and we're transparent about both.
Traditional Commission Model
In our traditional model, developers compensate us through standard commissions that are already built into property prices. This is the most common approach in real estate advisory, and it works well for many investors.
What this means for you:
- •No separate advisory fees or upfront payments
- •Straightforward engagement—simple to get started
- •Full transparency: we disclose exactly what commission each developer offers
- •Our comprehensive services—research, site tours, due diligence coordination—at no separate cost
The honest reality:
While we maintain our independence and always prioritize your interests, this model does create an inherent conflict of interest. That's why we're completely transparent about how we're compensated and why we offer an alternative.
Fee-Based Advisory Model
In our fee-based model, you compensate us directly for our advisory services, and we accept zero commissions or incentives from developers. This eliminates all conflicts of interest.
What this means for you:
- •Ultimate independence—our only incentive is finding your best match
- •Potential cost savings through commission-free pricing negotiations with developers
- •Complete alignment of interests throughout your investment journey
- •Transparent fee structure agreed upfront with clear exit terms
The honest reality:
This model requires discussing and agreeing on our advisory fees before we begin. Some investors prefer this direct relationship; others prefer the simplicity of the traditional model.

Not Sure Which Model Fits Your Interests?
Whether you choose traditional commission-based service or fee-based advisory, you'll receive the same comprehensive guidance, market intelligence, and expert support. The only difference is how we're compensated—and that choice is entirely yours.
Most investors know immediately which approach feels right for them. But if you're unsure, or if you have a different engagement structure in mind, let's discuss it.
