Our Buying Agent Services
Full Advocacy Service
We manage the entire purchasing process for you from start to finish.
This service provides the greatest amount of value, ensuring no stone is left unturned to secure the best suitable property. We start with thoroughly understanding your buyer brief, then canvass the whole market, assessing all properties advertised online, whilst also exploring "off-market" and "pre-market" opportunities through our extensive agent database and direct-to-vendor prospecting. Our access to off-market properties is the greatest advantage to our clients as it means we present homes that are offered exclusively to us, or with minimal competition.
On your behalf, we inspect every property in the market that matches your buying criteria. We report back to you each week with a shortlist of the best available options for you to inspect. We outline which properties represent the greatest value and provide a thorough report, analysing each property of interest. This includes research into the property's sales history, an analysis of the most recent comparable sales and our opinion of the property’s market value. It is our role to run a critical eye over each property so you can purchase with the greatest level of confidence.
Once we have identified a property that you would like to buy, we apply the most effective strategy to secure it for you. Whether by auction, private sale or expression of interest, our negotiation skills, expertise and industry knowledge mean you’re in the best possible position to purchase the property for the lowest price and on the best terms.
Auction Bid/Negotiate Only
With this service, we are appointed to represent you for a single property auction or private negotiation.
Once you have identified a property and confirmed your intent to buy, we will inspect the property and run all necessary reports as we would in our other services. We manage all negotiations, assist in setting a maximum budget and then proceed to purchase through whichever path is necessary. Our fee for this service is payable regardless of the final outcome. If you are unsuccessful with an initial Auction Bid/Negotiation and would like to come on board for our “Full Service”, we are happy to deduct the already paid Auction Bid/Negotiation fee from the overall fee of our other services.
Investing in Property
Whilst there are a range of properties to choose as an investment, not all properties are "investment grade".
There are fundamental criteria that set some properties apart which will see them perform substantially better over the long term. There are a range of factors to consider, including location, type of accommodation, demographics, buyer trends and accessibility to work and lifestyle opportunities. These all contribute to the desirability and growth of a property.
Equally, there are a range of undesirable attributes which need to be avoided.
You make money from investment properties in four ways;
Capital growth – appreciation of the property’s value over time
Rental returns – the cash flow you get from your tenant
Accelerated growth – this is capital growth you “manufacture” by adding value through renovations or development
Tax benefits – things like negative gearing or depreciation allowances
There is no one-size-fits-all perfect investment property. Everyone's financial situation is different and their investment goals are individual. We will guide you on the selection of the best property to fit your personal needs and help you build financial freedom through the investment of high-grade real estate.
