Cohen Handler Melbourne specialises in providing expert property buying services to help our clients secure their dream homes in one of Australia’s most competitive real estate markets. To understand the full scope of the role of a Buyers Agent, also known as a Buyers Advocate, Nicole Jacobs, Managing Director of Cohen Handler Victoria, sheds light on the critical tasks and responsibilities involved in making your property purchase a smooth and successful experience.
The Role of a Buyers Agent Explained
Buyers Agents, like Nicole Jacobs, work exclusively for the buyer, unlike real estate agents who represent the seller. Their main goal is to ensure the buyer gets the best deal possible by offering professional advice, conducting thorough market research, and negotiating favourable terms.
Nicole Jacobs commented, “We often get asked ‘What does a buyer’s advocate do?’ We are your eyes and ears. We go out there and we find the property for you, and we represent you in the transaction to acquire your perfect home. We’ve done the due diligence, which includes contracts being checked, and pest inspections, and of course, really importantly, working out where it sits in the market price wise and where it could go if there are a lot of people on that property.
“Our job is really to make sure that we give our clients as much information as possible, so they can make a really confident and educated decision.”
Key Services Offered by a Buyers Agent
- Property Research: we perform market research to find properties that meet the client’s needs, be it for investment or personal use.
- Property Inspections: we can attend property inspections on behalf of the buyer and provide honest feedback.
- Price Negotiation: Buyers Agents, also known as Buyers Advocates, are expert negotiators who aim to secure the best price for their clients.
- Auction Bidding: In Melbourne, where auctions are common, a BA can act on behalf of the buyer to manage the bidding process effectively.
