Frequently Asked Questions
Everything buyers ask before engaging an advocate — answered straight.
What does a buyers agent actually do?
Represents the buyer end-to-end: strategy, search (including off-market), inspections, due diligence, negotiation or auction bidding, and settlement — with no ties to any seller.
Are you independent?
Strictly. Tomii represents only buyers — never sellers. No seller referral fees, no listings to move, no conflicts.
How does off-market access work?
Through our network of selling agents and access to off-market and pre-market listings across Melbourne. 56% of our purchases happen this way.
How long does it take?
Our published average from sign-up to exchange is 43 days.
What do you charge?
Fees are engagement-specific and explained fully on the discovery call, before you commit to anything.
Do you only buy houses?
Houses, apartments, and investment assets — the brief decides. Home buyers and investors are our two core engagements.
Which areas do you cover?
Melbourne-wide, with deep inner-suburb expertise — Toorak, South Yarra, Glen Iris and the inner ring.
Can you just bid at auction for us?
Yes — auction bidding & negotiation is a standalone service for buyers who've already found the property.
