Melbourne's Award Winning Buyers Agent's

What does a buyer’s agent do?

A Buyer’s Agent acts exclusively on behalf of someone wanting to buy property. Just as someone selling property would utilise an agent to secure the best price, a Buyer’s Agent represents the interests of the buyer and works to secure the best deal for the buyer. Buyer’s Agents typically operate in a particular region and develop in-depth knowledge of specific locations and property markets. If you want to buy property in Melbourne, you should utilise a Buyer’s Agent based in Melbourne who has proven knowledge of the local property market.

  • Why should I pay a buyer’s agent?

    Paying a Buyer’s Agent makes perfect financial sense. With superior negotiation skills and in-depth knowledge of the Melbourne market, our Buyer’s Agents maximise your purchasing power and protect you from overpaying. Buying a house may be one of the biggest financial decisions you ever make. Only by working with our expert Buyer’s Agents can you give yourself peace of mind that you have secured the right property at the right price and avoided overpaying or making a costly mistake.

  • Why can’t the selling agent help me?

    The selling agent is paid to represent the person selling the property, not you the buyer. The selling agent is trying to secure the highest possible price and can’t give you unbiased advice – ultimately they want you to buy the property they’re selling and pay as much as possible!

  • Is there any cost for my first meeting with you?

    No, your first meeting with an Advantage Property is completely free of charge. The best way for us to really understand how to help you is for us all to get together and talk it through.

    That really depends on you! If time is short let our Buyer’s Agents know at your first meeting and we will act quickly to bring you a shortlist of suitable properties. In our experience, most buyers find and purchase a suitable property in between 3 to 6 weeks.

  • Will you help with the paperwork?

    As experienced industry professionals, our Buyer’s Agents are knowledgeable about section 32 notices and property contracts and will assist with coordinating the settlement process along with your conveyancer / solicitor. We can also recommend a lawyer if you wish to seek legal advice prior to purchase.

  • Do you conduct building inspections?

    We coordinate the services you need for purchase and settlement and will arrange a building inspection and report on your behalf. We can work with a building inspector of your choice or arrange the inspection to be completed by one of our recommended building inspectors.

  • How do I know I’m not paying too much for a property?

    There are many factors that affect the price of a property such as location, land value, aspect, lighting, period features, security, interest rates, rental vacancy rates, forecast population growth and expected capital gains to name a few. The only way to be sure that you don’t overpay is to get expert advice.
