Buyer's agents (also known as 'buyer's advocates') are licensed professionals that specialise in searching, evaluating and negotiating the purchase of property on behalf of the buyer.

 

 

Why use a buyer’s agent?

 

Utilising the services that buyers agents offer is becoming more popular across Australia, as buyers recognise the benefits of having their own advocate brings to the entire purchasing process.

 

Buyer’s agents are licensed professionals who specialise in searching, locating, evaluating and negotiating the purchase of property on behalf of buyers.  

 

We do not represent the seller we represent the buyer. 

 

We are engaged independently and paid for by the buyer to act on their behalf.  The key difference between a selling agent and buyer’s agent is who we represent as, by law, an agent cannot act for and accept a commission from both parties in the same transaction.

 

Buyer’s agents offer a number of different service options, ranging from complete searches through to auction bidding and single property reports.  Our aim is to ensure that the purchaser is as fully informed as possible and doesn’t overpay for the property. 

 

Having an experienced advocate on side who is familiar with suburb values and the purchasing process also assists in maintaining objectivity when it comes to negotiating the best possible outcome.

 

Benefits of using a buyer’s agent.

 

A buyer’s agent helps you:

 

• Gain an edge by having your own advocate who is representing  your interests 100% throughout the purchasing process.

 

• Understand the complexities and processes of buying by providing objective information, advice and support.

 

• Save time by searching for and analysing property on your behalf. Having someone do this for the buyer often results in a more efficient and faster outcome.

 

• Negotiate to obtain the very best price and terms.

 

• Source the correct property in the right location with better prospects for capital growth and/or rental yield.

 

• Access databases and information not readily available to the public, including increased access to properties off market.

 

• Eliminate stress by having one representative looking after your needs, rather than dealing with several different selling agents.
