FAQ

How do your fees differ from a traditional real estate brokerage?

A standard broker’s commission is paid by the seller & increase as the purchase price rises, creating an inherent conflict interest. Our fee is buy-side only. We operate on a performance-based success fee. Aligned with driving your purchase price down.

How do you access “Off-Market/Shadow Market” properties?

High-value assets are often held by individuals who value privacy above all else. These properties never reach public portals. We source these opportunities through a private network of family offices, estate lawyers & boutique developers. As a High-End Investment Facilitator, we gain entry into these circles because we bring vetted, high-intent buyers, allowing for a discreet transaction for both parties.

Why should a luxury foreign property investor use a High-End Investment Facilitator instead of a local agency?

Local agencies are designed to sell their local inventory. A foreign investor, however, faces “Information Asymmetry” – you are often at a disadvantage regarding local laws, tax implications & true market values. We close this gap. We provide the “unfiltered truth” about the market, act as a buffer against “foreigner premiums” & manage the complex high-value cross-border transactions & logistics that a standard agency is not equipped to handle.

How do you protect my privacy & identity during a search?

We act as your Professional Nominee. All initial enquiries, site inspections & preliminary negotiations are conducted under our firm’s name. You identity is only disclosed at the final, legal necessary stage & always under a strict Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).

Are you willing to advise against a purchase?

Yes. In fact our most valuable service is often the “Deal-Kill.” Unlike a broker who is only paid when a deal closes, our reputation is built on the premise of ethics & long-term performance of your portfolio. If our due diligence reveals structural, legal or financial red flags that cannot be mitigated, we explicitly advise you to walk away.

Do you coordinate with my existing legal & tax advisors?

Absolutely. We do not work in isolation. We function as a project manager on the ground, syncing every step of the acquisition with you existing Family Office, tax consultants & legal counsel. This ensures that the purchase is compliant with your global tax structure & long-term estate planning.

Can I buy a property through a trust or company?

Yes, but it requires specialized handling. A foreign trust must be registered with the Master’s of the High Court to obtain Letter of Authority before signing a sale agreement.

What is the typical timeline for an acquisition?

A strategic acquisition is not a “quick close” process. Depending on the complexity of your requirements & the depth of your due diligence required, a typical search & acquisition cycle ranges from 3 to 9 months. We prioritize the quality of the asset & the security over the speed of the transaction.
