Buying a property is a big decision, and if you’re considering working with a buyer’s agent, you probably have a few questions. Below, we’ve answered the most common ones we get asked, but if there’s anything else you’d like to know, feel free to reach out for a chat!


1. What does a buyer’s agent do?


A buyer’s agent (also called a buyer’s advocate) works exclusively for the buyer to help them find, evaluate, and negotiate the right property at the right price. Unlike selling agents, who represent the seller, we’re 100% focused on getting you the best deal and protecting your interests.


Our services include:

Property search & sourcing (including off-market properties)

Due diligence & research to ensure you’re buying smart

Negotiation & auction bidding to get the best price & terms

Handling contracts & settlement details to make the process seamless


We take care of all the hard work, stress, and time-consuming tasks so you can buy with confidence and clarity, without wasting weekends or missing out on opportunities.



2. What’s the difference between a buyer’s agent and a real estate agent?


A real estate agent (or selling agent) works for the seller, aiming to get the highest price possible for their client.


A buyer’s agent (that’s us!) works for you, the buyer, aiming to secure the best property for the best price with the least amount of stress.


Think of it like this:

🔹 Seller’s agent = sells the property for the highest price

🔹 Buyer’s agent = helps you buy the right property for the best price


Having your own professional representing you levels the playing field, ensuring you don’t overpay or get caught out by sales tactics.



3. Do you have access to off-market properties?


Yes! In fact, a significant number of the properties we buy never hit the public market.


We have strong relationships with real estate agents, allowing us to access off-market and pre-market listings that aren’t available on realestate.com.au or Domain.


Why do sellers choose off-market?

Privacy reasons (they don’t want public listings or open homes)

They want a quick, hassle-free sale

They’ve been referred to us by agents we work with


This means less competition for you and a higher chance of securing the right property at a better price.



4. Can you help if I’m buying from interstate or overseas?


Absolutely! We specialize in helping interstate and international buyers purchase property remotely without the stress or uncertainty.


We act as your eyes and ears on the ground, handling:

• Suburb insights & market research

Property inspections with video walk-throughs

Negotiation & contract management

Pre-settlement inspections to ensure everything is in order


We make the process smooth, transparent, and completely stress-free so you can buy with confidence, even if you’re on the other side of the world.



5. Do I need a buyer’s agent?


If you:

Struggle to find the right property (low stock, high competition)

Don’t have time to attend endless inspections

Want to access off-market deals others don’t see

Hate negotiating or bidding at auctions

Want to avoid overpaying or making costly mistakes


Then a buyer’s agent is a smart investment.


We save you time, money, and stress by handling every step, so you secure the right property, at the right price, without the hassle.



6. Can you help with investment properties?


Yes, we help investors find high-growth, high-yield properties that build wealth and deliver strong returns.


Our investment service includes:

Suburb analysis & data-driven research

Capital growth & rental yield forecasting

Cash flow & long-term strategy guidance

Sourcing undervalued properties or renovation potential


Whether you’re a first-time investor or building a large portfolio, we help you make smart, strategic investment decisions with confidence.



7. Do you negotiate on price and terms?


Yes! Negotiation is one of our strongest skills, and it’s how we save our clients thousands (or even tens of thousands) on their purchase.


We:

Assess the true market value of the property so you never overpay

Handle all negotiations with the selling agent to get you the best deal

Secure favourable terms (like longer settlement periods or lower deposits)

Bid at auction to maximise your chances of winning without exceeding budget


Our data-backed approach and deep understanding of the market give us a strong advantage over private buyers.



8. How much does a buyer’s agent cost?


Our fees vary depending on the level of service, but we offer clear, upfront pricing with no hidden costs.


In most cases, our clients save more money on their purchase than our fee, either through negotiation, off-market deals, or avoiding costly mistakes.


Think of it like this:

💡 A great buyer’s agent doesn’t cost you money—they save you money.


We’re always happy to discuss pricing based on your needs—get in touch for a chat!



9. I’ve already found a property, can you still help?


Yes! If you’ve already found a property but need help with:

Negotiation & securing the best price

Bidding at auction

Due diligence & risk assessment


We can step in at any stage to ensure you buy smart and avoid costly mistakes.



10. How long does the process take?


Every search is different, but most of our clients secure a property within 4 to 8 weeks.


However, if you’re looking for something very specific (or the market is highly competitive), it can take longer.


We work with you until we find the right property, no rushing, no pressure.
