“How much are Buyer’s Agent’s fees?”

is one of the most common questions people ask us when they first contact National Property Buyers.

“Are Buyer’s Agents worth their fee?” usually follows…

Australians love property and most people believe they have a pretty competent understanding of the market. But buying property is never as easy as it seems. In fact, it is fraught with many risks and pitfalls.

Buying a property, either as an owner-occupier or as an investor, will likely be the biggest financial transaction you will ever make. You’re purchasing something worth millions of dollars; hundreds of thousands at the very least. And that’s just the financial cost. There’s also the stress and emotional impact of trying to buy your dream home or investment property.

So is the fee worth it? Absolutely – we see it time and time again.

The fee spent to engage National Property Buyers to find and secure you your ideal property is the best investment you can make. 

Everyone knows someone who made a bad purchase that has cost them an enormous amount of money. Or someone who spent months or even years missing out at auction or having offers knocked back and eventually had to settle on something they’re not happy with. Or someone who has simply paid far, far too much.

What will our Buyer’s Agents do for you:

Save you money

Buying a property is a hugely emotional undertaking. It’s absolutely understandable that you seek to get the home you want that fits your lifestyle. It’s not called a ‘dream home’ for nothing.

Allowing yourself to be overcome by the emotion of buying your dream home can cost you money. It’s not uncommon for buyer’s to pay more than they have or more than the property is worth when they become frustrated, desperate, or too caught up in the moment.

And this is even more important for investors, buying an investment property is business and emotions cannot play a part. 

An experienced Buyer’s Agent will take the emotion out of the process for you. They will act as your independent advisor and ensure you don’t make any decisions that result in paying too much for the property.

Eliminate costly mistakes

Property is simply too expensive to make mistakes.

Investors put their money into property to get a return through steady capital growth and good rental return over time. Sounds simple enough. But they have to invest in quality property.

Too often, property investors make the wrong purchase decisions. They don’t do enough research or analysis or are persuaded to buy the wrong type of property. There are so many factors that determine a property’s value and potential to increase in value. Being unaware of just one of these factors can be the difference between buying a great property and a bad one.

This is the type of valuable information that a Buyer’s Agent will uncover through their research and investigation; information that will allow you to make the best investment decisions by ensuring that the property, whether residential or commercial meets our stringent criteria for ‘A grade’ investment properties. 

Our Buyer Agent’s are able to identify properties that are more likely to perform above the market average.

Save you time

Buyers can spend hundreds of hours looking for a property. All house hunters accept they will spend a long, long time searching and inspecting properties until they find what they’re looking for.

Searching for a property could take up to one or two hours a day. 15 or 20 minutes here and there during the day and an hour a night. It adds up quickly. Going to inspections can take another three or four hours out of the weekend, depending on where the property is located.

It’s not unreasonable to assume that people can spend between 5 to 10 hours a week looking for property. Over the course of the average time of six and a half months to buy a property, that can add up to over 180 hours of searching and inspecting.

But it doesn’t have to. You can you get your time back.

If you engage our Buyers Agents, your nights and weekends are free from the constant worry and stress that you’re missing properties – you will have an experienced professional doing all the legwork and taking care of everything for you.

Provide expert negotiation

Negotiation is arguably the most difficult stage of the buying process. Inexperienced buyers are matched against a selling agent who negotiates transactions every day and will work as hard as they can to get the best result for their client, the vendor. Sounds unfair, doesn’t it?

NPB Buyer’s Agents negotiate the best outcomes for their clients every day. They are in your corner and will fight hard to secure your ideal property for the lowest possible price and best conditions.

Buy you your ideal property

We buy you the best property for your circumstances. Our Buyer’s Agents are so rigorous in their search that less than 5% of properties are selected for inspection. That includes stock both publically and privately listed for sale, which is termed ‘Off Market’. They will only source the best properties that fit (or exceed) your criteria.

This incredibly thorough assessment ensures that you secure property that has the strongest potential for capital growth, putting you in the best possible position to grow your wealth through property and if you so desire, to buy again.

Buy faster and avoid price increases

Time in the market is one of the most crucial factors when buying a property. 

80% of our clients purchase properties within 45 days of engaging us, whereas the national average, from searching to contract signing, is six and a half months.  

In 6 and half months there can be significant changes in the property market or your circumstances. House prices or interest rates could rise, supply could lessen or your borrowing capacity could reduce due to a change in your personal circumstances or industry reform.

And in a rising market the longer you spend looking for a property the more prices are likely to increase. The more prices increase, the further away you get from purchasing the property you really want.

If you are ready to buy don’t want to waste your time or your finance pre-approval getting to know the market and chasing the wrong properties.
