Cohen Handler’s Sydney buyer’s agents utilise their industry connections to source properties off-market. Typically, a seller will engage a sales agent with a price in mind, but they might not be in a rush to sell or prefer to keep things private. It’s a great way for sellers to test interest levels and gauge price opinions before advertising the property publicly. This allows you to get a competitive edge as a buyer by inspecting the property before anyone else.
When buying your first investment property, focus on location, tenant appeal and long-term growth. Choose low-maintenance homes in high-demand areas near amenities, transport and schools. Think with your head, not your heart, and select a property that fits your financial and lifestyle goals.
