How the score adds up
| Check | Points | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Google rating | 19.6 /20 | The Google rating, blended with 30 reviews’ worth of the Brisbane average so a handful of reviews can’t top the list. An adjusted 4.5 or below scores nothing; 5.0 scores in full. |
| Review volume | 3.5 /5 | How many Google reviews, on a log scale. 200 or more scores in full. |
| Recent reviews | 6.7 /10 | Google reviews posted in the last 12 months, on a log scale. 40 or more scores in full. |
| Works only for buyers | 20 /20 | Buyer-only scores in full. Also acting for sellers as a vendor advocate scores 60%, also running property management 30%. Also selling property or marketing developer stock scores nothing. |
| Fees published | 0 /15 | A fee schedule with amounts and what’s included scores in full. A "from" price or range scores two thirds, a described structure with no numbers one third, "contact us" nothing. |
| Years operating | 3.2 /8 | Years since the business started, from its ABN records, or the start year the firm states where we can’t match an ABN. 10 years or more scores in full. |
| Recent Brisbane purchases | not published | Purchases in South East Queensland the firm has published (with suburb and month) in the last 12 months. 15 or more scores in full, 5–14 five points, 1–4 three points. |
| Memberships and awards | 0 /10 | REBAA member 5 points, REIQ member 2. Awards with published judging criteria in the last two years add up to 3 (finalist 1, winner 3). |
| Conduct record | not checked | Full marks once we’ve checked QCAT, Fair Trading and ACCC records and found no adverse finding in five years. |
