How Property Sourcers Get Paid – Unlocking Value with O Johnston & Co

How Do Property Sourcers Get Paid?

In the property investment landscape, time is money—and knowledge is power. That’s where professional property sourcers come in. Their role is to locate high-performing opportunities that align with an investor’s goals, often securing access to off-market or pre-negotiated deals that would otherwise remain out of reach. But how do they get paid, and what value does that payment represent?

At O Johnston & Co, we act as more than just intermediaries. We are strategic partners. Our compensation reflects the depth of market insight, due diligence, and negotiation power we bring to each transaction. Typically, property sourcers are remunerated through either a fixed sourcing fee or a percentage of the purchase price, agreed upfront and transparently built into the deal structure.

For entry-level sourcers, the fee might simply reflect the introduction. However, for a high-end investment specialist like O Johnston & Co, our fee encapsulates a comprehensive service—from sourcing and vetting the asset, to overseeing legal progressions, and even preparing the property for income generation. Every opportunity we present is rigorously pre-qualified, often returning capital within 12 months and generating consistent rental income beyond that.

Working with a sourcing company is not just about finding a property—it’s about unlocking value, mitigating risk, and fast-tracking returns. With O Johnston & Co, our clients benefit from a creative investment strategy that leverages property as a vehicle—not just for capital growth, but for real wealth acceleration.

In essence, our sourcing fee is an investment in speed, certainty, and superior performance.
