What does a buyers advocate do?

A buyers advocate works exclusively for you, the buyer—not the seller. We search for properties (including off-market opportunities), conduct due diligence, negotiate on your behalf, and guide you through to settlement. Unlike selling agents who represent the vendor's interests, we ensure you get the best possible outcome.

How much does a buyers advocate cost in Brisbane?

Fees vary based on the service package. Most buyers advocates charge either a fixed fee or a percentage of the purchase price (typically 1-2%). At Joanna Boyd Buyers Advocate, we offer transparent pricing with packages starting from $5,500 for negotiation-only services. Book a free consultation to discuss your specific needs.

Is using a buyers advocate worth it?

For most buyers, yes. Our clients typically save 3-7% on purchase price through expert negotiation—far exceeding our fees. Beyond savings, we save you time, reduce stress, and provide access to off-market properties you'd never find on your own. Our 98% success rate speaks to the value we deliver.

What suburbs in Brisbane does Joanna Boyd cover?

We specialise in Brisbane's inner-city and prestige suburbs including New Farm, Paddington, Teneriffe, Ascot, Hamilton, Bulimba, Hawthorne, and surrounding areas. We also assist clients across the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, and regional Queensland for the right properties.

25+ Years Experience

Founder & Director

Joanna Boyd

I'm a proud mum of three and a real estate professional with over 25 years of experience. Throughout my career in recruitment, business development, franchise management, and real estate training, I've found my true passion in helping people move forward—especially during life's significant transitions.

In 2017, my world changed when my husband Tony passed away suddenly. Navigating that grief while making major property decisions taught me how critical it is to have the right guidance and support. That experience inspired me to help others going through their own life changes.

Whether you're resettling after a major event or simply looking for your next dream home, I'm here to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. I understand the weight of these decisions, and my goal is to guide you with empathy, patience, and expertise.
