Zero Fee Property Broker Australia — How the Builder-Paid Model Works
At a Glance — $0 fees to buyers · Builder pays at settlement · All states: QLD, VIC, WA, NSW, SA · New builds only
Most buyers assume working with a property broker costs money. With BK Home Broker, it doesn't. We operate on a builder-paid model: our fee is paid by the builder or developer after your property settles — not by you.
What Is a Builder-Paid Property Broker?
A builder-paid property broker sources new properties — house and land packages, off-the-plan apartments, and townhouses — on behalf of buyers. Unlike a buyer's agent who charges you a flat fee or percentage, BK Home Broker is engaged and compensated by the builder to find qualified buyers.
Our incentive is to match buyers with the right property — because our commission only pays at settlement. Unsatisfied buyers don't settle.
Builder-Paid vs Buyer's Agent — Key Differences
Builder-Paid Property Broker (BK Home Broker)
Cost to buyer: $0
Focus: New builds only — H&L, off-the-plan, new apartments
Best for: First home buyers, investors, anyone buying new
Income source: Builder/developer referral fee paid at settlement
Buyer's Agent
Cost to buyer: typically $3,000–$15,000+ (flat fee or % of purchase price)
Focus: Established and new properties
Best for: Competitive established-market purchases, auction bidding
Income source: Buyer directly
For buyers purchasing new builds, a builder-paid broker delivers the same access and expertise — at zero cost to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does BK Home Broker make money if buyers pay nothing?
We receive a referral fee from the builder when your property settles. This is standard in the new homes industry and is factored into the builder's sales and marketing budget — it does not increase the price you pay.
Q: Are builder-paid brokers regulated in Australia?
Yes. Property brokers are regulated at state level. BK Home Broker holds all applicable real estate licences and complies with Australian Consumer Law including full disclosure of material relationships.
Q: Can I negotiate the builder's price through BK Home Broker?
Yes. Our volume relationships often give access to pre-release pricing, upgraded inclusions and promotions not available to walk-in buyers.
