Frequently Asked Questions About Buyer’s Agents in Sydney, NSW
Aren’t buyer’s agents just for the wealthy?
There is a common misunderstanding that buyer’s agents are just ‘for the wealthy’ and not for the average Australian home buyer. Think of it like this, when you rely on a buyer’s advocate in Sydney, you’ll be relying on a professional who has been buying property for many years, who has all the contacts and knows how to negotiate on a price, someone who is actually making you money, whilst saving you money all at the same time. Extremely wealthy people can afford to lose more money than your average first home buyer.
When it comes to buying property, there is a level of risk and the average Australian first home buyer is not able to take that level of risk without seeking professional advice. Simply take a look at the average house price 10 years ago to today to see how prices have shifted in, not just Sydney but every capital city across Australia. Hindsight shows what you would have made in capital growth versus the cost of engaging a buyer’s agent. Likewise, by making a rushed decision and either overpaying or not doing anything at all, costs a whole lot more in the long run than engaging a professional to help.
Can a buyer’s agent guarantee to save me dollars off the purchase price?
Buyer’s agents or advocates really are specialist negotiators. We specialise in property and understand how to price a property, understand exactly how to deal with selling agents, and then we understand the various methods of sale and how to get that specific deal across the line.
I know a real estate agent who will bid at auction for me for free. Why would I pay a buyer’s agent?
Generally speaking, selling agents bid in a different way to how a buyer’s agent would bid at auction. Selling agents push the price to the limit and bid the way they would like buyers to bid at their auctions. They may be not connected with the vendor, but ask yourself if there is any vested interest? Ask yourself, ‘Why is the selling agent willing to bid at auction for free?’ The answer is because they want to list your property for sale once you’ve bought. Beware and remember the golden rule: “Free advice is often more expensive than paying for the advice upfront”.
