Does A Buyer’s Agent Just Save Us Money? Many people wonder if a Sydney Buyers Agent does more than just help with costs.
The people that we have helped engaged us as their Buyer’s Agent for many reasons. Every other buyer’s agent is telling prospects it’s all about getting access to properties that are pre-market or sold off-market. There is some truth in this; however, if this is the selling point of using a Buyer’s Agent, keep looking for one that offers multiple benefits.
“If a Buyer’s Agent Number One Benefit is to Get You Access to Off-Market Properties, Find a Better one that adds Value”.
So, what other ways can we help you?
Overpaying
Most buyers are emotional. They see a property they fall in love with, become very emotional, and end up paying too much. A competent Buyer’s Agent with years of experience removes emotion from the negotiation and buys with their head, not their heart. “You Will Have a Competitive Advantage Over any Other Buyer” Stress and Time Buying a property can be one of the most stressful experiences that you can encounter in your life, but with the right help, it doesn’t need to be. They say it’s up there with divorce! It can take up your weekends, and you lose time to spend with friends and family. A Buyer’s Agent will know the market and save you time by sifting through the properties that are not for you. You get more social time with friends and family. Due Diligence: A sales agent has a legal obligation to represent their client who is selling a property. With a Buyer’s Agent on your side, we will help you with the steps to ensure your due diligence has been achieved. They will advise you on the required reports and liaise with your financier and Solicitor. They’ll take you through the complete buyer journey process, so you don’t feel daunted. Negotiate: A Buyer’s Agent should have many years of negotiation experience. They should have read hundreds of books, attended training and a minimum of 10 years. If a Buyer’s Agent reduces their fee, you are best off doing it yourself, as you are a better negotiator if you can beat them down on price. Many Buyer’s Agents don’t have negotiation skills.
“If You Can Get a Buyer’s Agent to reduce their fee, you are Better Off not Engaging Them; you are a Better Negotiator than They Are”
Remember this: The Cheapest Agent is Likely to be the Most Expensive Agent.
