 8 Reasons to use a Buyers Agent by Rodney McLoughlin from TBAS®

 

 1. Find a Property Faster - Buyers agents have all the resources at their finger tips to fast track the purchase, including real estate agents, private sellers, developers, solicitors, financiers, etc.

 

 2. Off Market Properties - Buyers Agents have access to every property listed, on and off the market, including private sellers

 

 3. Expert Negotiators - Buyer Agents negotiate properties every day, they know when to offer more money or when the selling agent is lying

 

 4. Independent Advice and Evaluation -  The Buyers Agent is working for you to minimise the purchase price. The selling agent is representing the seller to maximise the selling price

 

 5. Exchanging Contracts - Buyers Agents can stop other potential buyers exchanging contracts before you. The good properties usually have more than one buyer competing for them

 

 6. Auction Bidding - A Buyers Agent will bid on your behalf at auction and plan an auction strategy to eliminate the stress and emotional bidding

 

 7. Pre Approval - Home loans typically expire after 3 months, therefore a buyers agent will give you the best chance of securing a property before it lapses and having to re-apply

 

 8. Investment Properties - They will help clarify your goals by asking crucial questions to maximise you return Eg: Capital growth v’s high yield? Which properties will achieve greater capital growth and is it better to buy a property that is positively geared or negatively geared?
