You may have heard of a buyer’s agent, but given their popularity in Australia is fairly recent, you may be wondering what they actually do. Today I’ll be running through what a buyer’s agent offers and why you should consider using one as a first home buyer.While those looking to sell their property will usually engage a real estate agent to work on their behalf, many buyers face tackling the property purchase on their own. They’re often unaware of the services out there that can provide them with much-needed support on their journey.In this episode, I explain the role of a buyer’s agent and how you could benefit from engaging one. From helping you to create a property brief to handling negotiations with the seller, a buyer’s agent is a valuable asset whose objective is to help you navigate the complex process of buying a home - as well as making sure you find the right one.I take you through the different services a buyer’s agent will offer, how to choose the right one and what you can expect to pay. Though it can be daunting to imagine having the extra cost, using a buyer’s agent can reduce the chance you’ll make a mistake that costs you financially.While you can absolutely take on the buying process alone, I encourage you to consider working with a professional whose guidance will likely save you time, money and stress in the long run.I hope this episode gives you valuable insight on the options available to you, so that you can achieve the best possible outcome on your property buying journey.
