A Buyer’s Agent is a professional House Hunter. A licensed professional that acts on behalf of the buyer. A Buyer’s Agent will source the property, present you with a short list, appraise the value, perform due diligence, negotiate or bid at auction for you, and ensure a smooth settlement. Buyer’s Agents work exclusively for the buyer, avoiding conflict of interest which is inherent in the traditional seller-oriented transactions. A traditional Real Estate Agent is employed by the vendor to get the highest price possible, but their focus is not to ensure that the buyer buys well. A Buyer’s Agent will act as your buffer to ensure that you do not overpay for your dream property through clever marketing tactics, negotiating skills, and emotional pull. It doesn’t matter if you’re purchasing a first home, a family home, or an investment property. A Buyer’s Agent can bring valuable experience to negotiating the price of one of the most expensive and exhausting experiences of your lifetime. You’ve got someone to bat for you, to do really thorough due diligence and research, to make sure that this is the right purchase for you, at the right price.
