Why use a buyer's agent to buy a home?
Engaging a buyers' agent, or buyers' advocate, can help you navigate the complex process of purchasing a property, provide expert advice and guidance, negotiate on your behalf and potentially save you time and money. Their expertise can be especially valuable for first home buyers or those unfamiliar with the local real estate market.
What matters when you buy a home
- Home: focuses on personal needs, lifestyle, and emotional attachment, such as location and comfort.
- Home financing: based on affordability and long-term living.
- Home risk: generally lower risk, considered a stable asset.
Who we help
A buyers' agent is a wise choice for those who want to save time, reduce stress, and make confident property decisions. We are especially valuable for:
- Busy professionals and families, balancing the search with work and life.
- First-time or nervous buyers, who want expert guidance and to avoid costly mistakes.
- Those short on time, who need to stay on track with competing priorities.
- Anyone overwhelmed by the process, from research to inspections and negotiations.
- People upsizing, downsizing or relocating, including expats and interstate buyers.
How we buy your home: four steps
- Brief and searchA detailed brief is the foundation for a successful purchase: the more you define what you want, the more likely we will find it. We check internet listings, but preferably liaise with local real estate agents about properties that are on-market, off-market, pre-market and after-market.
- Research and due diligenceWe gather information about location, amenities, essential facilities, potential infrastructure projects, transport and historical data, and compile a Comparative Market Analysis of potential market values. Then due diligence: building and pest or strata reports, and review of the Contract for Sale.
- The purchaseOnce your legal representative has assured you the property is fit for purchase, we make an offer (private treaty) or prepare for auction, which can include a pre-auction offer. Our job is to get ahead of the pack and secure the property for you.
- SettlementA couple of days before settlement we meet you for a settlement inspection, to make sure the property is in the same condition as inspected and matches the Contract for Sale. Once settled, we hand over the keys to your new home.
