What is a Buyers Agent?

…and how can they help?

If you are looking to purchase a property, a Buyers Agent may be for you.

A Buyers Agent, or Buyers Advocate, is the key to helping you buy a property with less fuss and less stress.

A selling Agent is focussed on selling a property, and they are being paid by the Vendor to secure the best possible price for a home. So even when the selling Agent may be sincere (and often charming!) in telling you that they will do what they can to get you the home for the best price for you, they are really trying to get the best price for the Vendor.

In direct contrast, a Buyers Agent works for you - the Buyer. They help you to invest, buy your first home, next home or dream home - whether you are upsizing or downsizing.

What does it cost to use a Buyers Agent?

Fees are based on the service you need, and can either be fixed or percentage based. You may choose to use a Buyers Agent simply to bid at auction on your behalf, or you may have already found the right property and you need someone to negotiate for you. You may even choose to use a Buyers Agent to help you with the entire buying process - from start to bought.

If this is the case, a Buyers Agent will help you source properties, present a shortlist of the ones that meet your criteria, and either go with you to look through the property or take you through a virtual inspection. When you find the right home, they will then work hard to negotiate the best price for you to secure the property.

Selecting the right Buyers Agent means that value for money could be well worth it!
