Are buyer’s agents worth it right now or mostly clever marketing? 🏡 We unpack what a buyer’s agent actually does, where they add real value, and the traps to watch like bias, glossy reports, and chasing off market or under market value. We compare Perth’s surge with Melbourne’s flat patch, share a real case study of a unit that went backwards over nearly ten years, and explain when to use a local pro versus going DIY with our Suburb Data tools.
