A Buyers Agent, also known as a buyers advocate, is a licensed professional who specialises in searching, evaluating, and negotiating the purchase of property on behalf of the buyer. We work exclusively for the buyer, ensuring the buyer's interests are prioritised.
Having a Buyers Agent on your side can save you time and money. We have extensive local knowledge, access to off-market properties, and the expertise to negotiate the best price. This can significantly reduce the stress and complexity associated with purchasing your property.
The primary difference is who they represent. A Buyers Agent works exclusively for the buyer, while a Selling Agent represents the seller. A Buyers' Agent is paid by the buyer and does not accept commission from the seller.
Buyers Agents provide services such as full property search, appraisal and negotiation, auction bidding, vendor advocacy, development sourcing, and property management. This comprehensive approach ensures all aspects of the buying process are covered.
The cost of a Buyers Agent varies based on the services provided and the complexity of the search. Fees typically include an engagement fee and a success fee, which can be a fixed amount or a percentage of the purchase price.
Yes, Buyers Agents can assist in finding, evaluating, and negotiating investment properties. They use market data and predictions to identify areas with high growth potential and ensure you make a sound investment.
