Sound Familiar?
Most buyers spend months searching, second-guessing and worrying about overpaying — without ever having an independent expert in their corner. The Guided Purchase Advisory changes that.
“I don’t know if I’m paying the right price”Without independent market data and a professional appraisal, you’re relying on the selling agent’s word — and they work for the vendor, not you. |
“I’m not sure how to negotiate effectively”Most buyers negotiate a property once every few years. Selling agents do it every week. That experience gap costs buyers thousands — sometimes tens of thousands. |
“I want help, but not to hand the whole search over”A full buyer’s agent service isn’t right for everyone. Some buyers want to stay in control of their search — they just want expert guidance at the right moments. |
The Guided Purchase Advisory is built for exactly these situations.
What You Get
From day one through to your purchase — here’s what John Gibson and Locate Negotiate brings to your search.
✓Comprehensive Strategy & Planning SessionWe start with an in-depth session to understand your goals, budget, risk profile and ideal property — and build a clear acquisition strategy around them. |
✓Ongoing Access via Phone, Zoom, Teams & EmailDirect access to John throughout your search, not a junior assistant. When a property comes up, you will get a timely response and practical guidance to help you decide your next move. |
✓Review of Up to 10 Properties Per MonthYou find properties you like — we assess them. Each review includes an independent opinion on the property, the area and whether it stacks up against your brief. |
✓Comparable Sales Data & Market InsightsAccess to trusted property data tools and insights — comparable sales, market trends and suburb analysis, so you negotiate from a position of knowledge. |
✓Independent “Fair Worth” AssessmentBefore you make an offer, we tell you what we believe the property is genuinely worth — and what we’d pay for it. Completely independent of the selling agent. |
✓Negotiation Strategy & Offer StructuringWe provide strategic negotiation advice, including opening offer guidance, counter offer tactics and contract conditions, helping you put forward a strong, well structured offer. |
✓Auction Bidding Strategy & Tactical GuidanceIf your chosen property is going to auction, we assist with your bidding approach, help you set your walk away limit, and coach you for auction day so you can bid with confidence and discipline. |
✓Pre-Commitment Risk Review & Contract AdviceBefore you sign anything, we review the decision with fresh eyes — identifying risks, reviewing key conditions and making sure you’re proceeding with full confidence. |

This Program Is For You If… Who the Guided Purchase Advisory Is Built For
|
Addressing the Elephant in the Room “Do I really need a buyer’s agent?”It’s a fair question — and one John hears often. The honest answer is that using a buyer’s agent is not yet common practice in Australia the way it is in the US or UK. But that’s changing rapidly — and for good reason. When you buy property without independent representation, you’re negotiating against a professional who does this every single day. The selling agent is experienced, well-prepared and motivated to get the best price for their client — not you. The Guided Purchase Advisory isn’t about handing the search over — it’s about levelling the playing field. Having an expert in your corner for the assessments, the negotiations and the decisions that matter most. “I’m convinced we saved a lot of money by using Locate Negotiate. We didn’t have the experience or the skills when it came to negotiations and determining what a property is worth.” F & L Reardon — Locate Negotiate Client |

Common Questions
It’s a 90-day property mentoring and advisory program. You conduct your own property search — we provide expert guidance, independent assessments, market data and negotiation strategy throughout. Think of it as having John Gibson as your personal property advisor without engaging a full buyer’s agent service.
With a full buyer’s agent service, we do the property searching for you. With the Guided Purchase Advisory, you find the properties — we assess, advise and guide you through the negotiation and decision process. It’s a more hands-on role for you, supported by expert guidance at every key decision point.
Property searches don’t always move at a predictable pace. If you haven’t secured a property by the end of your 90-day program, you can continue on a month-to-month basis at $2,160 + GST per month with no lock-in.
Yes — the Guided Purchase Advisory works well for buyers purchasing anywhere in Australia. Because we’re working in an advisory capacity rather than physically inspecting properties on your behalf, geography isn’t a limitation. All sessions are available via phone, Zoom or Teams.
Yes — paying upfront saves you $490 + GST compared to the monthly payment plan. It’s the same program and inclusions. If you’re committed to your search and ready to go, the upfront option is the better investment.
Absolutely — and we encourage it. Book a free, no-obligation consultation below and John will walk you through the program, answer your questions and help you decide if it’s the right fit for your situation.
Not Ready to Enrol Yet?
No obligation, no pressure. John will explain the program in detail, answer your questions and help you work out if the Guided Purchase Advisory is right for your situation.
Or call us on 1300 008 006 to speak with our team.
Prefer to hand the search over entirely?
The Guided Purchase Advisory is designed for buyers who want to stay in control of their search. If you’d rather have us find, assess and negotiate the property for you from start to finish, our Full Search & Acquisition service might be a better fit.
Join the Guided Purchase Advisory and get John Gibson in your corner for the next 90 days.

John Gibson — Founder, Locate Negotiate |
Your Advisor John Gibson — 37+ Years in PropertyJohn Gibson is the Managing Director of Locate Negotiate and one of Australia’s most experienced independent property advisors. With over 37 years in the property industry — including more than a decade running his own real estate agency — John has been involved in well over $1 billion in property transactions across residential, commercial and specialised property. Unlike most advisors who work exclusively on one side of the transaction, John has spent decades representing both buyers and sellers. That dual perspective gives him an insight into buyer and seller psychology that very few property professionals can match. The Guided Purchase Advisory was created because John recognised a gap in the market — buyers who wanted expert guidance at key moments but didn’t need or want a full buyer’s agent service. This program puts his experience directly in your corner, at a fraction of the cost.
