Frequently Asked Questions

Look for three things: track record, independence, and how they’re paid.

Ask how long they’ve been operating, how many purchases they complete a year, and for reviews you can actually verify. (We have over 150+ five star Google Reviews just in Victoria). Check they’re a licensed agent and, ideally, a member of REBAA or a similar professional body. And be wary of anyone whose fee is a percentage of the savings they negotiate, since that can incentivise a higher sale price rather than a lower one.

Our buyer’s agents have 75+ years of combined real estate experience, we are accredited members of REBAA and the REIV and are one of Victoria’s most awarded local buyer agents.

A buyer’s agent finds, assesses, and negotiates the purchase of your property. A conveyancer or solicitor handles the legal side. Contract review, settlement, and transfer of ownership. The two roles work together but don’t overlap: we get you the right property at the right price, they make sure the legal transaction is sound. We work alongside your conveyancer or solicitor throughout the process, or can recommend one if you don’t already have one.

We suggest you seek buying advice on every property transaction, the same as you would do if you were selling. You are making a huge investment, so why not make sure it is the wise one?

A buyer’s agent is dedicated to making your life easy when it comes to buying property. At National Property Buyers we will take the time to understand exactly what you are looking for and provide detailed market analysis on the area you are looking to purchase in.

Whether it’s your first property or if you are a seasoned property investor, we will take the time and stress out of buying. We know the tricks of the trade and can negotiate a better price on your behalf because we are experts in the industry and do this every day.

From start to finish we will assist you with every aspect of the buying process, everything from providing a shortlist of properties and arranging inspections, to bidding on the property on your behalf and organising all of the paperwork once the property as settled.

For most clients, yes! A buyer’s agent saves you time and stress of searching, inspecting, and negotiating yourself and reduces the risk of overpaying or missing crucial due diligence. For most buyers, the fee is offset by the price we negotiate on your behalf.

We have offices in Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide and dedicated referral partners in other states. In Victoria we have an office in Balwyn and buy property in all over Greater Melbourne, Mornington Pensinsula, the Bellarine Pensinsula and major regional towns.

Our services can be tailored to the individual needs of each client and we do offer an Appraise & Negotiate service. These fees are lower than premium service fees as the search time is eliminated.

Our fee structure is agreed in advance and the majority of the fee is paid upon successful purchase. You can choose whether to have a fixed or variable fee, so you know that we are serving your best interest only. Our fee structure depends on the service required and starts from as little as $825 for auction bidding. To get a full breakdown refer to our fees page here.

No, the first meeting is free and will allow you to find out more about what we do and how we do it. You can book a complimentary 30 minute strategy meeting here.

sNo, none whatsoever. Our service is completely independent and unbiased and the right property will be purchased at the right price to suit your needs. We do not take commission or kick backs from real estate agents or developers for recommending and purchasing a property.

Absolutely! We have an extensive network of real estates that contact us with pre-listing and off-market properties or who we will reach out to when looking for properties. Beware of any Buyer Agents that only searches or buys off market properties. Listed properties are the vast majority of available properties and should always be included in a search. No stone should be left unturned when looking for the ideal property.

Yes. We regularly work with interstate clients buying in Melbourne, as well as overseas buyers. We can manage the entire process on your behalf, including shortlisting properties, arranging inspections, bidding at auction, and handling paperwork, without you needing to be in Melbourne at any point.

Missing out at auction usually comes down to one of three things: not knowing the true market value of the property, being outbid because of nerves or lack of experience, or losing out to a buyer with a stronger strategy. Our buyer’s agents attend auctions every week and know how to read a room, when to bid, and when to hold back. If you’ve missed out on multiple properties, it’s often a sign you need a clearer strategy rather than a bigger budget.
