A buyer’s advocate, also known as a buyer’s agent, can support you at different stages of the buying journey, depending on what you need.

A buyer’s agent in Perth may assist with:

• Searching and sourcing properties that match your brief
• Accessing off-market opportunities, using established relationships with local selling agents
• Conducting due diligence, including building and pest reports, market analysis and risk assessment
• Negotiating the purchase of a property, either by private sale or at auction
• Bidding at auction on your behalf for a property you’ve already found

If you already have a property in mind, a property buyer’s agent in Perth can step in purely to negotiate a better price or terms.

Whether you’re relocating to Sydney, Brisbane, Perth or Melbourne for the first time, returning from years overseas, or looking to invest in the Perth property market, our services are specifically designed to make the process as simple and successful as possible.

Our executive leasing partners at Cohen Farquharson offer relocation services to assist in the transition.

Perth operates quite differently from larger East Coast markets. It tends to be more cyclical, with clearer growth phases and generally stronger rental yields. Compared to buying in Sydney or Melbourne, entry prices are typically lower, and buyer competition is often less intense. For many clients, working with a buyer’s agent in Perth means accessing value-led opportunities without the pressure seen in tightly held markets.

Perth often suits investors who are focused on long-term fundamentals rather than short-term hype. Strong rental demand, population growth and infrastructure investment all support this market. Compared to cities like Brisbane or the Sunshine Coast, Perth can offer more attractive yields at a lower entry point. A Perth buyer’s agent helps investors identify suburbs that align with their goals, budget and risk profile.

Yes. While many clients engage us as a property buyer’s agent in Perth, Cohen Handler operates nationally. If your strategy points to other markets such as Adelaide or Canberra, we can help you compare locations, assess opportunities and manage the buying process wherever it makes sense for you.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer. First-home buyers often do well in suburbs with strong transport links, employment access and future infrastructure rather than premium postcodes. As a buyer’s advocate in Perth, we help you balance affordability with long-term growth potential, so your first purchase supports both your lifestyle and financial goals.

Our fee structure is clear and discussed upfront. Typically, an initial payment is required to commence the search and strategy phase, with the balance payable on settlement. This keeps the process transparent and ensures alignment from the outset.

Yes. If you have already found a property, you can engage us specifically for expert property negotiation or to represent you on auction day through a tailored auction strategy. This option is ideal if you want professional support without a full search service.

Absolutely. Due diligence is a critical part of buying well. A buyer’s agent in Perth will coordinate inspections, review reports and help you understand potential risks, so there are no surprises after settlement.

Yes. While we do not provide legal or financial advice, we guide first-home buyers through available grants and concessions and coordinate with your broker and conveyancer. This support is often incorporated into a clearly defined property buyer’s brief, helping ensure nothing important is missed.
