Buyer's Agent
Frequently Asked Questions
Why employ a Buyer's Agent
Some clients are time poor, don't live locally, don’t know where to buy, and don’t know what or how to buy.
Some don’t know who to trust and are concerned about paying too much for a property. The detailed process of researching, searching and negotiating for or bidding at auction for property can be stressful and exhausting, let alone missing out and not securing a property at all and then needing to start again!
Save time
A buyers’ agent can save you the lengthy time involved in locating and researching the right properties, leaving you to focus on your family, work and the other important aspects of your life.
Access to off market property
Being in the market constantly, a buyers’ agent can get access to properties that may never make it to the public market. This gives you a competitive advantage over the other buyers in the marketplace.
Have someone representing your interests
Real estate selling agents work for vendors and are obliged to get the highest possible price and best terms for the vendor. A buyers’ agent, works solely on your behalf and has access to the same sales data as selling agents. Through providing you with anonymous and professional representation, a buyers' agent can tip the balance and therefore provide an advantage, in your favour.
In particular, we protect our clients from overpaying for property and do not condition you to pay more than what a property is worth.
Contract Negotiation
A buyers' agent will negotiate on your behalf to acquire your property at the lowest possible price with the best possible terms and conditions, while protecting your interests. Buyers who choose to go it alone without professional representation are often forced to use contract clauses that favour the seller, often leaving them vulnerable and out of pocket at settlement.
Secure the best properties at the best possible price
Buyers’ agents are property experts who keep up to date with price movements and recognise when a property is competitively priced. Their expertise can not only help you locate a good property but also to acquire a property at a lower price with better terms than you would be able to on your own.
Save money
Buyers’ agents use highly developed research, analytical and negotiation skills to save you money when securing your desired property for the best possible terms and price. They also word towards getting you a result, so that you don't get caught paying higher prices over time in a fast moving market.
Receive impartial, independent advice
A buyers’ agent will give you impartial advice regarding your property purchase, whereas a sellers’ agent must represent the vendor and try to secure the highest possible price for their vendor. A buyers’ agent will dedicate their time and expertise to find a property that’s right for you. Most importantly, a buyers’ agent has your best interests at heart and will help you make informed decisions by providing supporting evidence for any purchase recommendations.
