Can a buyer's agent bid at auction for me?
Yes. Our Gold Service is for people who have found the property themselves and want help with the purchase. Besides a physical inspection of the chosen property, we will strategise our approach to get ahead of buyer competition, to not only achieve the best possible result but become the winning buyer.
The purchase can be a private treaty sale, where we discuss and make an offer, or an auction sale, where we prepare for the auction and can make a pre-auction offer. The pros and cons of private treaty versus auction are covered in detail in your strategy session.
What we do for you
- A physical inspection of the property before you commit.
- A Comparative Market Analysis, so you know what it is worth before you bid or offer.
- A strategy for the offer, the pre-auction offer or the auction itself.
- Negotiation with the selling agent, or bidding on the day, as your representative.
- Guidance through exchange, and on to settlement.
A persistent negotiator
The purchase process can be delicate, as you might face competition from other house hunters. Our job is to get ahead of the pack and secure the property for you, without losing the opportunity and without overpaying.
Harold is an Excellent Buyers Agent
“Not only is he friendly and kind, attending carefully to our needs and wishes for a new property; he is also persistent and a great negotiator, engaging in lengthy negotiations with real estate agents to secure a property we could afford. We now have a wonderful home with heaps of space, a yard for our pet, a large garage and a view of the river.”
Why have someone else negotiate?
Just as sellers use agents to secure top dollar, buyers benefit from expert representation. A buyers' agent doesn't just find a property: they save money through due diligence, real estate expertise and negotiation skills. And they don't get emotional, which is a big no-no in property purchasing.
Auction and negotiation support is included in the Diamond, Platinum and Gold services. If you want us to find the property too, see our home buyer's agent and investment buyer's agent services.
