5 Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Settlement Agent
When you appoint a settlement agent, you’re choosing someone who will be in charge of one of your most important transactions (if not your most important transaction), ever.
Clearly, your settlement agent needs to be an agency you can trust.
Here are five essential questions you should be asking your settlement agent before entrusting them with such an important transaction:
- lodging the contract for stamp duty more than two months after signing of the Offer and Acceptance, leading to massive stamp duty penalties, or
- transferring the wrong property because they glanced over the certificate of title instead of examining it correctly.
- Is the fee quoted all-inclusive?
- Is it a fixed fee, or are you going to pile on extra fees after settlement if my case gets too complicated?
In fact, we tick all the right boxes. We:

Rezzi. The edge you need.
Buying a home can either set you up or set you back. I know from firsthand experience the financial gains that come from a smart property purchase. Get it right, and you’re on the path to early retirement. But get it wrong and it will set you back for years.
The stakes are high. And they’re especially high for home buyers because the real estate industry stacks the odds in favour of the seller.
And that’s why I started Rezzi; to give you a real chance of making a winning property move.
My goal is simple: to provide you with the strategies, information and support you need to make bold, confident property decisions.
And, if that’s what you want, let’s talk.
