Are you in the Australian Defence Force and in need of a buyer’s agent? Or perhaps you’re interested in an established investment property? Our specialised buyer’s agent service is here to help you find your ideal property and negotiate the best price and settlement with ease.
We specialise in sourcing a wide range of property options. We thoroughly research the current market value for owner-occupied properties and recommend investment opportunities with higher yield potential and strong growth prospects. Additionally, we evaluate returns on industrial and commercial properties, as well as investment properties with potential for subdivisions and renovations.
What is a buyer’s agent?
Buyer’s agents are licensed professionals who specialise in locating, evaluating, and negotiating the purchase of property on behalf of buyers. They do not sell real estate. They are engaged independently and paid for by the buyer to act on their behalf. Whereas a selling agent can accept a commission from both parties in the same transaction, a buyer’s agent can only legally act for the buyer.
Benefits of engaging a buyer’s agent
The biggest benefit of having a buyer’s agent is getting the edge in a competitive market. Having your own buyer’s agent as a property professional representing your interests throughout the purchasing process saves you:
Time:
- Your property professional will search for and analyse property on your behalf.
- Buyer’s agents have access to databases and information not readily available to the public, including off-market opportunities.
Money:
- You can rely on your buyer’s agent to source the correct property, in the right location, with better prospects for capital growth and/or rental yield.
- A buyer’s agent will negotiate to obtain the very best price and terms.
Stress:
- You’ll have one dedicated representative looking after your needs, rather than having to deal with several different selling agents.
- Experienced buyer’s agent services will make sure you avoid any property pitfalls.
How our property buyer’s agent service works
Meet with one of our Capital Properties buyer’s agent experts for a Free Discovery Session and we’ll give you a taste of what it will be like to work with us. If you like what you see – and we’re confident that you will – we’ll grab your information and determine your borrowing capacity. Then we’ll follow up with a second meeting. During this strategy session, we’ll ask questions like “How much do want to be worth when you retire?” and together we will develop a strategy to help you achieve your goals. Once we’ve nailed your criteria and agreed a plan, we’ll help you complete an engagement letter and contract to buy.
Then, we find the most suitable property candidates and present you with the best options.
Although we have a 3-month property buyer’s agent service engagement period, we’ll check in with you weekly for updates and to discuss options.
