About Us
Our Agency
We operate as an independent Buyer's Agent division under Epic Realty. We pride ourselves on strict regulatory compliance, which ensures the highest standard of professional service to our clients.
Our Philosophy
A well-timed, well-located property purchase may still be a poor deal for many reasons. One of the most apparent one is negligence of risks.
At HomeCode, we believe attention to detail is the foundation of any successful property purchase. Our mission is to protect buyers by uncovering risks before they commit.
What We Deliver
Our specialty is to learn as much as we could on the target property, its seller, and the transaction itself. Greater transparency on a purchase puts you in a stronger negotiating position and delivers better outcomes.
You will be amazed by how much information on a property we can reveal through our process!
Services
As your Buyer's Agent, we are registered real estate professionals who can help you coordinating the entire process — from property search to settlement — giving you complete peace of mind. For greater flexibility, we offer three service options:
Provide ONE property address that you love and we will handle the rest. Our service will include comprehensive due diligence, offer and negotiation strategy, coordination with third-party professionals (such as building inspectors), and assist your purchase all the way through to settlement.
This is the chance to, for a limited cost, experience the vast difference between DIY and having a specialist on your back!
- Pricing: $1,888 (inc. GST), payable upfront, non-refundable. If a purchase is successful, then this is all you pay!
- [Bonus] Even if an offer may be unsuccessful, you can still upgrade to the 180-day Comprehensive Service, without needing to pay for activation fee!
A complete, hands-off solution ideal for busy buyers with limited time. We will manage the entire process — from property search (including off-market opportunities), thorough due diligence, offer strategy and negotiation, through to settlement.
- Pricing:
- Activation Fee: $1,888 (inc. GST, payable upon completion of the first due diligence task for a property address, non-refundable, in addition to Buying Fee)
- Buying Fee: 1.2% of purchase price (inc. GST). Minimum and maximum Buying Fee cap applies: $6,888 - $16,888 (inc. GST)
- We understand sometimes flexibility is important so we offer customisable services to suit our clients' need. Please enquire to discuss further.
All services pricings above apply to properties located within 50km from our Nedlands office. Extra fees apply for properties beyond this distance.

Offer | Negotiation Strategy
A successful offer & negotiation strategy means using the intelligence gathered through our due diligence process to structure offers that respect BOTH the seller’s and buyer’s needs. This significantly improves the chances of winning in a competitive environment without unnecessarily stretching the buyer’s budget — this is where our expertise makes a difference.
Every stage feeds into the next, building a complete picture of a property.
Case Stories
4 Beds, 2 Baths, 2 Bays
Clients: Young family
Features: Quiet and safe suburb. Within walking distance (<500m) to supermarket and Riverton primary school. Located within Rossmoyne SHS catchment. Slightly further commute for the buyers but still within acceptable range. Modern design with high ceilings.
Research: Based on the property's development history, we identified that the Seller had a strong incentive to achieve a quick sale to avoid extended market exposure during a high interest rate yet softening market environment in winter 2025. The Buyers were comfortable proceeding with or without securing this property, which allowed greater negotiation flexibility.
Outcome: Secured the property for $1.3M after successfully negotiating an offer approximately $20K lower than a neighbouring property with the same design and land size. Clients were very satisfied with this outcome knowing that it was incredibly difficult to secure any 4x beds property within Rossmoyne SHS catchment lower than $1.4M at the time.
2 Beds, 1 Bath, 2 Bays
Client: Owner occupier + investor
Features: Rare double car bay villa allowing for flexible co-living or rental arrangements. Immediate access to the Mitchell Freeway. Low strata levies at approximately $450 per quarter.
Research: Conducted multiple inspections during both peak and non-peak hours to assess whether street noise remained within an acceptable range. Reviewed the strata management structure and identified a single majority voter within the strata company controlling approximately 50% of voting power. This owner preferred a low-cost management approach and was open to short-term accommodation use, which aligned well with our client’s objectives. Moreover, the seller owned multiple properties and was represented by a selling agent with limited familiarity with the local market.
Outcome: Secured the property for $690k in 2026 after negotiating an offer approximately $30k below RPdata’s AI price estimate, which was accepted by the seller. After in-person inspection, client was super satisfied with the property and surpised by how easy the process was with a buyer's agent on their side.
7 Beds, 3 Baths, 2 Bays
Client: Owner occupier + investor
Features: Configured for seven periodic room rentals with an estimated gross rental income of approximately $89,440 per annum. Large parking area. Located in a more secluded section of Beckenham. Close to Westfield Carousel and the train station, although pedestrian accessibility was relatively limited.
Research: A flood overlay was identified during due diligence, although the apparent risk level was assessed as low. The property contained multiple potentially unapproved alterations, both internally and externally, which appeared to support its high-yield rental setup and 'as-is' sales condition. The seller was unable to provide council approval documentation for these works. Comparable nearby properties were generally transacting within the $1.0M–$1.2M range.
Outcome: Successfully won at an auction at $1.18M in March 2026, however the seller elected not to proceed due to reserve price expectations. We advised against increasing the offer further due to excessive exposure to potential regulatory and compliance risks. The client later redirected focus towards Atwell and secured a larger landholding with granny flat potential for approximately $1.03M, with a smile on the face.
