Frequently asked questions.

A buyers agent in Sydney represents the property buyer throughout the entire purchasing process—from sourcing suitable properties (including off-market), evaluating price and risk, to negotiating and securing the deal on the buyer’s behalf. We level the playing field.

A vendor advocate works exclusively for the seller to guide them through the sale, helping choose the right selling agent, overseeing the sales process, and protecting the seller’s interests. This can be very helpful when wanting to buy and sell your property.

It depends on your financial situation, risk tolerance, and market conditions. UMAYE helps you weigh the pros and cons and creates a tailored plan to protect your cash flow and timeline.

Off-market properties are homes that are sold without public advertising. At UMAYE, we access these exclusive listings through trusted agent networks and long-standing relationships.

A buyers agent gives you expert negotiation, strategic insights, and access to off-market listings. It’s especially valuable in competitive markets like Sydney, where the best properties often sell fast or quietly.
