How to Select the Right Buyers Agent

"Choose to be represented by a true expert who’s been there and done it all before"

Without a shadow of a doubt, engaging the right Buyers Agent is one of the most important decisions you’ll make in your property journey. The ideal expert will make all the difference when it comes to finding your ideal home or investment property, creating an experience you can enjoy and saving you significant coin in the process!

 

> Simple and Transparent: Something we all appreciate and seek out in our day to day. So why should working with a Buyers Agent be any different? Taking something challenging like the property market and offering it as a straightforward and seamless process is the goal here. Skip the see sawing fee tables and complicated “choose your own adventure” service offerings. The task here is simple, your ideal property for the right price while you are kept up to date and empowered to make informed and guided decisions.    

 

> Incentivised: Just as Selling Agents are driven to secure the highest price for the vendor, a Buyers Agent should be incentivised to deliver the exact opposite, the best deal for the buyer! If there is no form of incentive to do so then you’d best look elsewhere. Select a Buyers Agent who’s performance is tied to your financial best interests.

 

> Independent: What you need here is a Buyers Agent who explores the entire market for your perfect property. Avoid those who favour certain selling agents or are aligned to developers moving stock. The right Buyers Agent will be genuinely Independent and provide you with a true 360 view of the market! 

 

> Credible & Qualified: Let’s be real, if you’re going to engage someone to provide a service they had better be a proven expert otherwise you might as well do it yourself. The ideal Buyers Agent will be a master of their trade, a specialist with firsthand and personal real estate experience and a successful track record. Don’t settle for brand heritage alone, ensure you are being represented by someone who’s been there and done it all before!

 

> Market Knowledge: The ideal Buyers Agent will be a connoisseur of their locale! They operate in specific regions and have established networks that compliment these locations. Be sure that your Buyers agent is well acquainted with your target market and has the deep insights to match!  

 

> Project Experience: Whether you’re purchasing a home or investment property, you will likely have plans post sale such as leasing, flipping, developing, or simply making improvements. In this instance it’s important that your Buyers Agent is aware of these plans and also understands how best to make them happen! A genuine expert will have project experience and advise on how suited a particular property may be to your immediate and longer term requirements. 

 

> Customer Focus: Finally, select a Buyers Agent who places an emphasis on customer experience. At the end of the day, results are important and so is the journey. Someone who measures themselves against your happiness factor is key. Look for things like a focus on timely updates, a high value placed on customer input and of course maintaining open lines of communication.
