Sydney Buyer’s Agent FAQ
A buyers advocate or buyers agent offers various types of services such as:
Searching and gathering properties that meet your criteria and then negotiating the purchase of that chosen property (whether by auction or private sale.) Depending on your needs, a Sydney buyer’s agent may search for one particular property or an entire portfolio, or they can negotiate a better price for you by compiling insights via due diligence and conducting building and pest reports on your chosen property and then developing a negotiation strategy, or they can bid for you at the auction of a property you may have found.
Cohen Handler buyer’s agents utilise there 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 rush to sell or prefer to keep things private. It’s a great way of seller 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.
There are few surer ways of making money than investing in real estate. You can potentially strengthen your financial position and generate wealth, but it also means you’ll have a product that will be in demand as long as people need a place to rest their heads. But how do you choose your first investment property? There are a few things you’ll need to bear in mind.
Buyers agents, also known as Buyers advocates are licensed and regulated real estate professionals who act on behalf of the property buyer. Their purpose is to research, find and negotiate a perfect property for their client.
This is as opposed to a real estate agent who has a contract with the seller and therefore has their best interests at heart. A buyer’s agent will always negotiate in favour of you, their client.
How do you know when you’re getting what you want and what you’re paying for regarding buyer’s agents and their fees?
Or if you’re not? For a full-service offering buyers agents will charge a success-based fee based on a percentage of a property, typically between 2% to 3%, but for other services may charge a flat fee.
Whether you’re moving to Sydney for the first time, returning from years overseas, or looking to invest in the Sydney property market, we have an extensive team of Buyer’s Agents who specialise in each region of Sydney to assist you.
