Editorial context
Working with a provider in Hawthorne – what matters
Anyone appointing a property agent in Hawthorne should first establish which side of the transaction the agent represents. Setlr describes its service as buyer representation. Prospective clients should therefore clarify which search, assessment, negotiation and settlement tasks are included in the engagement. The scope of work, fees, potential additional costs and appointment period should be documented clearly before proceeding.
For a home purchase, useful starting points include a defined budget, preferred locations, property type and timetable. Investment buyers should also discuss their objectives, ongoing expenses and the basis of any projected returns. Commercial buyers should establish how their intended business requirements will inform the search. Since Setlr addresses several buyer groups, asking about the assigned agent’s experience with the particular type of purchase is worthwhile.
The documented emphasis on off-market access raises another consideration: a property that is not publicly advertised still requires careful assessment of its price, condition and suitability. The access route alone does not establish a price advantage. Buyers can ask for comparable properties and the reasoning behind a recommended purchase price.
Clients purchasing interstate or internationally should agree on inspection coverage, documentation, communication arrangements and responsibilities. Inspection videos can provide useful information, but do not automatically replace independent specialist assessments. Coordination with finance providers, technical inspectors and legal advisers should also be clarified. The supplied reviews offer additional accounts of past experiences, but do not replace scrutiny of the specific service proposal.

I recently referred a buyer to Emilio who was hesitant to sell their existing property before securing their next home and wanted to align the timing of both transactions. Emilio did a wonderful job sourcing them a suitable property off-market, giving them the confidence and certainty they needed to make the move. His expertise and negotiation ultimately delivered a stronger net outcome than they would likely have achieved without engaging him. I would happily recommend Emilio and the Setlr team to any of my clients looking to purchase.
We recently had the pleasure of working with Simon and his fantastic team at Setlr while searching for and purchasing our first investment property in Brisbane. The level of customer service and care throughout the entire experience was exceptional. Simon guided us every step of the way, consistently going above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable and confident in the decisions we were making. His understanding of the local market, combined with his negotiation skills and transparency, made all the difference during the process. We also really valued his strong communication skills, as well as how organised and efficient he and his team are. We would highly recommend the Setlr team to anyone looking to purchase a property.
We can’t recommend Jess highly enough! We started the buying process feeling uncertain and anxious, but she completely turned that around and helped us secure our dream property. Early on, we also worked with Emilio, who was fantastic, super informative and reassuring, and he made us feel confident right from the start. We then transitioned to Jess, who specialises in Brisbane’s north side, and she was incredible throughout the entire journey. Jess supported us every step of the way. She organised everything seamlessly and worked closely with our broker and solicitor, which meant we always felt informed and confident in our decisions. Her knowledge of the areas we were considering was outstanding, and she was incredibly thorough during inspections, picking up on details we would have easily missed. On top of that, Jess is genuinely friendly, approachable, and easy to work with. She was a
Our team recently had the pleasure of working with Jessica on the sale of one of our properties, and we can't speak highly enough of the experience. From start to finish, Jessica was responsive, straight forward, and an absolute pleasure to deal with. She was clear, efficient, and professional at every stage of the process and was very communicative. It's evident that she is incredibly organised and across every detail on behalf of her clients. We genuinely enjoyed working alongside her and will have no hesitation in recommending Jessica to any buyer we come across. It was lovely doing business with you Jess, and we look forward to getting more deals done together in the future!
Setlr were a stellar helping hand in my property journey, and I'd recommend them to anyone looking to get into the market. Emilio outlined the entire process with complete transparency and set me up with all the tools I needed to feel confident he was looking for the right properties. It was clear that he knew the exact market conditions and what I had in mind, and his skillset came together perfectly when he showed me the first off-market property - which we would eventually buy. I'd recommend Emilio and the team to anyone looking to get into the market - coming from a first home buyer, it was 100% worth it.

Services in this field explained
A valuation estimates the price a property can achieve on the market, based on location, condition, size, fittings and comparable sales.
What does a valuation cost? Many agents offer an initial estimate free of charge. A formal market value report by a certified surveyor is paid; the fee depends on the property and effort.
When you sell, an agent handles valuation, exposé, viewings, negotiation and the notary appointment.
Who pays the agent's commission? When flats and single-family houses are sold to consumers, the commission is generally split between seller and buyer (§ 656c German Civil Code).
When letting, an agent takes care of listing, viewings, tenant selection and the tenancy agreement.
Who pays the agent when letting? Since 2015 the “orderer pays” principle applies to residential lettings: usually the landlord pays when they hired the agent.
