The Buyers Agent Process
Buying property is complex and time consuming. Our proven process is built on transparency from day one, so you know exactly what to expect.
-
We work with you to clarify your goals and develop a personalised strategy before commencing the property search on your behalf.
-
We then leverage hundreds of real estate agent relationships (literally) to identify both on and off market properties that suit your criteria. We repeat this process weekly to guarantee that if there’s a property available for sale meeting your criteria, you’re the first to know about it.
-
Once we’ve identified a property, we then inspect it on your behalf. Each property Inspection Report comes with 7-15 minutes of video, showcasing the good, the bad and the ugly. No more relying on glossy marketing, you can feel as though you’ve been through the property without ever stepping foot inside.
-
If you’d like to proceed after our inspection, we then complete our 67-point due-diligence assessment report. This report uncovers any potential risks and highlights factors important to you, so you have complete confidence before we commence negotiations.
-
The most critical aspect of your search is determining how much the property is worth, and whether there’s an opportunity to pay less than market value.
To solve this, we complete a data-based Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) report to develop a rational view on the property’s value. We then take a four pillar approach to developing a negotiation strategy that guarantees you’ll purchase the property for the best price possible.
-
Once our offer is accepted, we then project manage your property team until contracts have exchanged. This can involve scheduling Building & Pest Reports, liaising with your Conveyancer or Solicitor, and most importantly, communicating progress to the Real Estate Agent.
Come settlement day, we perform the pre-settlement inspection on your behalf and ensure that the keys find their way to your hands.
We might even celebrate the milestone with a drink on the veranda! We’ll leave that choice up to you.

FAQ
The buying process can be complex, so we’ve answered the most common questions below.
-
A Buyers Agent is a property professional that acts exclusively for the buyer in Real Estate transactions. Buyers Agent’s can specialise in Owner Occupied Residence, Residential Investment or even Commercial Property purchases depending on their skillset and experience.
Another way to think of a Buyers Agent is the mirror image of a Real Estate Agent. We search for properties rather than potential buyers, assess those properties against a pre-defined criteria and negotiate the lowest possible price, rather than the highest.
-
An experienced Buyers Agent performs a pivotal role in purchasing real estate.
In a real estate transaction, the Buyers Agent is responsible for clarifying the clients needs, sourcing off-market properties, assessing those properties against the clients brief, negotiating a lower price and project managing the exchange process.
If the client is an investor, the Buyers Agent may provide strategy, asset selection and ongoing portfolio advice to help the client build a portfolio over time.
-
There are many ways a Buyers Agent can earn their fees. Some Buyers Agents charge their clients a small ‘advice’ fee and place their client in a new-build asset where they also receive a much larger commission for ‘selling’ that property by the developer.
This produces a conflict of interest.
The only fees we earn are those which we charge our clients. This ensures that when working with us, your best interests remain at the forefront of our relationship. The fees we charge our clients are tailored based on individual needs and preferences and thus there is no standard fee model.
-
The truth is, you can absolutely purchase a property on your own.
Most of our clients work with us to turn a complex, drawn-out process into a simple and enjoyable experience.
-
Of course. When selecting a Buyers Agent, it's critical to verify that they have agents with a detailed understanding of the localised area. This ensures that your Buyers Agent is physically inspecting the properties they’re advising on, and guarantees that you’ll receive the best advice possible.
How can a Newcastle buyers agent help you?
A buyer's agent, also known as a buyer's advocate or property consultant, is a professional who assists property buyers and investors throughout the property purchasing process. In the context of Newcastle, Australia, a buyer's agent can provide several valuable services to help buyers and investors make informed decisions when buying property in the area. Here's how a buyer's agent can assist:
Market Knowledge
Our team in Newcastle makes buying property simple by leveraging their relationships and connection to the local property market. They are familiar with property trends, pricing, neighbourhoods, and upcoming developments. This knowledge helps buyers identify suitable properties and make informed decisions based on their specific requirements.
Property Evaluation and Due Diligence
Once potential properties are identified, a property buyer's agent can conduct thorough evaluations and due diligence on each property. They can assess the property's value, condition, potential for capital growth, rental yield, and any potential issues or risks associated with the purchase. This helps buyers make informed decisions and negotiate effectively.
Contract Assistance
Contracts can be complex and filled with legal jargon. A buyer's agent can help buyers understand the terms and conditions of the contract, ensuring they are fully aware of their rights and obligations before signing. They can also recommend legal professionals if required.
Property Search and Shortlisting
Instead of spending significant time and effort searching for properties themselves, buyers can rely on a buyer's agent to identify suitable options. Based on the buyer's criteria, budget, and preferences, the agent can compile a shortlist of properties that match their requirements.
Negotiation and Bidding
Buyer's agents are skilled negotiators who can act on behalf of buyers during price negotiations. They have experience in property transactions and can use their expertise to secure the best possible price and favourable terms for their clients. In addition, buyer's agents can participate in auctions or bid on behalf of the buyer, ensuring they have professional representation during the process.
Ongoing Support
Even after the purchase, a buyer's agent can provide ongoing support and advice. They can assist with property management, renovations, or any future property purchases or sales
Access to Off-Market Listings
Buyer's agents often have access to off-market properties, which are not publicly advertised. These exclusive listings can provide buyers with opportunities to purchase desirable properties before they become widely available, giving them a competitive edge in the market.
Property Inspections and Coordination
A buyer's agent can arrange property inspections, saving buyers time and effort. They can coordinate inspections with relevant parties, such as building inspectors or property valuers, to ensure a thorough evaluation of the property's condition.
Overall, a buyer's agent can offer valuable expertise, market knowledge, and personalised assistance to property buyers and investors in Newcastle. By leveraging their services, buyers can streamline the purchasing process, mitigate risks, and make well-informed decisions to achieve their property goals.
