FAQS
We understand that choosing the right investment is crucial to your long-term financial goals. That’s why we prioritise a comprehensive discovery process, ensuring we fully understand your unique objectives before moving into the search phase. During our discovery phase, we’ll uncover your specific requirements, such as:
- Are you looking to purchase and hold the property for the next ten years or more?
- What’s your motivation for owning and borrowing capacity?
- What are your must-haves regarding space, property type, and proximity to amenities?
- Will this property be your long-term home, or are you considering it an investment opportunity?
- If it’s an investment property, what is your desired rental yield, or are you looking to purchase, develop, and sell quickly?
- How can we help ensure this purchase sets you up for multiple future purchases?
By delving into these details, we can tailor our search to properties that align with your long-term strategy, maximising the chances of delivering a space that meets your financial goals effectively.
Australia has one of the world’s most unpredictable property markets; things move so quickly now that even the experts can get it wrong. The landscape has changed so much that there’s a good chance the average buyer will invest in a property that won’t set them up for success.
With 3% of Australian property purchases made through a Buyers Agent, the NAB states that “Australians are using professional buyers agents more than ever before”. Here are a few key reseasons it’s worth working with a Buyers Agent:
- Decreased stress: Allianz Australia has found that 51% of Australian home buyers’ emotional and mental well-being is affected during the buying process. There’s no price for peace of mind, and the support of a Buyers Agent eliminates the uncertainty of making a wise investment.
- Networks: An experienced Buyers Agent has access to a range of specialised networks to help at each step of the process. They’re connected with local Real Estate Agents to find high-value (and off-market) opportunities, as well as due diligence and legal professionals to ensure you’re protected throughout the purchase.
- Better return on investment: Buyers Agents are experts at understanding the Australian market, which means they can uncover opportunities the average searcher cannot. They use data, industry-standard tools, and years of industry experience to validate the value of every property they present to their clients.
- Independence: While a Real Estate Agent is focused on representing the interests of a seller, a Buyers Agent is focused on achieving positive outcomes for the purchaser. A Buyers Agent will guide clients towards investing in a property that will provide the best opportunity to build up their portfolio.
The pricing of a Buyer’s Agent can vary depending on various factors specific to your needs.
These factors may encompass the number of locations you are interested in, the type and condition of the property you desire, your budget, and your long-term plans for your property.
Typically, the cost of our services falls within the range of 1% to 3% of the purchase price.
We will thoroughly discuss the pricing details during our discovery meeting before formalising any agreement or engagement.
Purchasing a property always comes with risk. Here are a few common mistakes we see searchers make when making a property purchase:
- Inadequate planning for future needs, such as renovating or expanding the size of your property.
- Investing in an area that doesn’t offer excellent growth potential.
- Failing to consult the right due diligence professionals.
- Succumbing to fatigue during the search phase and pursuing a purchase when it’s not the right time.
- Overpaying for a property due to poor negotiation skills.
- Purchasing with their heart, not their head (getting too emotionally invested in the purchase).
- Overlooking important factors during the settlement process and locking themselves into unfavourable terms.
While we’re specialists in guiding residential and commercial purchases in Western Sydney, our team has deep knowledge of the market Australia-wide and can facilitate a smooth purchase anywhere.
