Marked Coaching
For buyers who want expert input - without handing over the keys.
The problem with buying property alone
Most buyers spend months searching, make offers on the wrong properties, and walk into exchange hoping they haven’t missed something. No strategy at the start. No expert check when they find something. No second opinion before they sign.
It’s not that they can’t do it. It’s that they’re doing it without the information professional buyers take for granted.
What Marked Coaching is
Three live calls with a principal buyer’s agent - timed to the three moments in the search that actually matter.
We explain each step along the way, so you know what’s coming and can proceed with confidence.
You stay in control. We make sure you’re pointed in the right direction.
Think of it as your expert trainer on your DIY home buying journey.
When you don’t need someone to buy it for you.
But you do need someone who knows when you’re about to get it wrong.
Right now, at a very limited introductory rate.
The three calls
01 Strategy
Before you start searching
60 minutes. We define your brief, discuss attribute scoring and its impact on the search, pressure-test your budget, short-list the right suburbs, and build a clear acquisition strategy. Most buyers skip this entirely. It shows.
02 Assess
When you’ve found “the one”
Up to 60 minutes. Armed with some pre-prepared data we gather for you, we review the property together - location, building quality, comparable sales, price guide credibility, red flags, and whether to negotiate or go to auction.
03 Review
Before you sign
Up to 45 minutes. Price paid versus market, contract terms to query, strata and building issues to flag. The last expert check before you’re committed.
Want more hands on support? Clients can upgrade to negotiation-only or full-service at any point. The coaching fee is credited towards that engagement.
If you’re not quite ready and want a quick chat to discuss in more detail, reach out to Mark at the contact details below.
