Professional Service Fees

Not about being the cheapest — being the best at a fair and reasonable price.

You get what you pay for

You have no doubt heard the old saying "you get what you pay for". When purchasing anything it is always nice to know you got a 'bargain' as you paid a lower price for something that appeared to be of the same standard or quality. How many times have you been disappointed when you find out that you did not get what you expected?

The settlement industry is no different! Others prefer to "shop the price around" and may get a quote for $20 to $50 less, only to see many of these clients go back to them saying they are experiencing difficulties or delays with the other agency, that may now cost them penalty charges at settlement.

When comparing quotes, we ask that you consider all the questions below. This will help you make an informed choice when selecting your settlement agent.

Questions to Ask

The five questions every buyer should ask

Some settlement agents and lawyers advertise (paid Google ads) unusually low settlement fees, but then charge you hundreds of dollars extra for "services" which should be included in the upfront quoted price. Many clients don't realise that the upfront low settlement quote will not cover the entire settlement process, and if the client wants to see the settlement completed, they will be subjected to "additional service fees".

With Elite PS there are no hidden fees. We do not charge extra for:

Assist both parties to prepare the Offer and Acceptance document
Verification of Identity Checks
Preparing various settlement documents
Working with overseas clients
Liaising with other parties to resolve termite & building issues
Providing regular updates for off-the-plan purchases
Adjusting rent at settlement
Depositing your cheques at settlement
SMS notifications of settlement progress
Booking/re-booking the settlement
Attending the settlement

Elite Property Settlements has two Senior settlement agents to oversee your settlement. Many settlement agencies and law firms use untrained and unqualified office clerks to do vital settlement work.

Do you really want to entrust your transaction of hundreds of thousands (or millions) of dollars in the hands of unqualified clerks?

We are always available during business hours (and for urgent queries outside business hours as well) to answer your questions and help resolve disputes. You can speak to the same small team, every time you contact us.

Some settlement agents work obscure hours from home and are impossible to contact when you need them. Others will have your file passed around from one agent to another and you will most likely end up speaking with a different person every time!

Our office's policy is to respond to your enquiries within the same business day, so you won't be left wondering if your queries have been actioned or not.

By being truly independent and not paying kick-back fees to agents and brokers, Elite PS represents our clients' best interests at all times. This is essential to avoid situations where there may be a conflict of interest.

Real Estate Agents and Brokers recommend our services to their clients and business partners because of the exceptional service we offer — not because they are being paid a fee for their recommendation.

Elite PS is registered for ROL, which means you do not need to provide the Stamp Duty payment prior to settlement. The duty is instead paid at the time of settlement — simplifying your cashflow and removing one more task from your to-do list.
