Selling and buying at the same time is genuinely hard.

The best rightsizer properties in Sydney — single-level homes, lock-up-and-leave apartments, layout-right townhouses — are in fierce demand and rarely hit the portals.

Doing both sides alone, while managing removalists, stylists, lawyers, and agents, is a full-time job most people didn't sign up for. That's what we're here to handle.

What we do

One team. Both sides.
Every step.

From the first conversation to the day you hand over the keys — and collect the new ones.

01

Prepare to sell

Styling advice, decluttering guidance, short-term storage solutions. We get your home ready to perform.

02

Appoint the right agent

We shortlist and interview selling agents on your behalf — unbiased, because we don't take a cent from them.

03

Manage the campaign

We sit alongside you throughout the sale — reviewing marketing, monitoring feedback, and keeping the agent accountable.

04

Find what you're moving into

Off-market access, thorough due diligence, independent appraisal, and skilled negotiation or auction bidding.

05

Align the legal teams

We work with our solicitor — or we'll work with yours — to coordinate contract timing across both transactions, so your sale and purchase settle without the chaos.

06

Smooth transition

Settlement coordination and timeline management right through to handover. One point of contact. No dropped balls.

The Unicorn Difference

Genuinely independent.
On both sides.

What You Get
✓

Full vendor advocacy — agent selection, campaign management, and exchange, completely in your corner.

✓

Full buyers agency — including off-market properties never advertised publicly.

✓

Zero selling-agent referral fee — our vendor advocacy commission is rebated directly to you, saving a minimum 20% off the agent's standard fee.

Typical Vendor Advocacy Rebate Saving
≥ 20%

off your selling agent's commission — rebated to you, not kept by us.

What This Isn't
✗

A referral service that takes kickbacks from selling agents

✗

Two separate agencies with misaligned timelines and incentives

✗

A transactional relationship that ends at exchange

✗

Generic advice that ignores your specific lifestyle, health, or family priorities

Beyond Downsizing

You're not
downsizing.
You're rightsizing.

Downsizing implies less. But for most of our clients, this move is about alignment — matching the home to the life you're actually living now.

That might mean smaller footprint, better location. Single-level, with a lock-up-and-leave courtyard instead of a garden that owns your weekends. Sometimes it means the same size — just a completely different lifestyle.

We search with that lens: what does your next chapter actually need?

Lifestyle-First

We search around your actual priorities, not just price per square metre.

Off-Market Access

Many of the best rightsizer properties never hit the portals. We find them first.

Accessibility Aware

Level access, lifts, garaging, step counts — assessed with a long-term view.

Location Strategy

Proximity to family, healthcare, transport, and what matters to you.

Who We Work With

A considered move deserves considered advice.

Empty Nesters

The family home has done its job. You want a property that works for two — or one — without the upkeep or the room count you no longer need.

Lifestyle Changers

Retirement is reshaping your priorities. Walkability, community, proximity to grandchildren — this move is about quality of life, not just square metres.

Estate Transitions

Managing a family property after a life event. Complex, sensitive, and requiring careful coordination. We handle it with discretion.
