What Kind Of People Use Your Service?

Its a mixture. Sometimes it’s locals who are upsizing or downsizing. Mostly I help people who are moving from the cities and want to live in a lifestyle destination like the Byron Shire. Some people are planning their next five to ten-year move. They don’t know the area well or they’re time poor or they need some deep local knowledge before making a major decision like this.

What’s The Main Reason People Hire A Property Buyer’s Agent?

It is different reasons for different people. Probably the main reason is for people who are time poor or not able to be in the area while they’re looking. They need a long term local who knows the area well. Some people find the process of buying property quite difficult and adversarial and they want somebody to handle it for them. Some people want to feel that they are buying with certainty so that they have got experience and knowledge upfront for them. So there are various reasons why people would use a buyer’s agent but that’s the main one; people can buy with certainty when they use someone who knows the area and the process

What Are The Different Types Of Properties You Help People Buy?

We service the whole Northern Rivers area. We have also been south to Yamba and Coffs Harbour more than a few times. I do homes, units, and commercial.

Can You Buy Off-Market?

I do about 20 – 25 percent of my purchases off-market. There are many reasons why a property is off-market. IT varies a bit depending on what the wider market is doing. Some people want privacy and not have too many strangers coming through their house. I also have people who want something specific and since I’ve been doing this for 20 years, I know a lot of properties. I know a lot of owners who I know they may be sellers / they may not, but when I have got something specific, I can go directly to an owner and say are you interested in talking to a potential buyer.

How Does The Process Work?

When you contact me and you’re interested in engaging me, I send you my agreement. I need a $2500 engagement fee before I start. The commission is payable at contract exchange and is between 1-2% pf the purchase price – minus the engagement fee. It can take anything from a few weeks to 6 – 9 months. That is fine. I help you make a decision so it usually does not drift out too far into the future.

Byron in the News

February 24th, 2022

Byron is ongoing clickbait. Here is a selection of articles, posts and videos of interest where its Byron in the news:

This article in Traveller Magazine is very amusing. Craig Tansley is a freelance travel journalist now based on the Gold Coast but originally from Byron. Here he reminisces about how it used to be – in the good old days.

Damon Gameau is an actor and filmmaker who lives locally in Bangalow. He was the lead and director of the documentary “That Sugar Film”. Here he is delivering a talk on the Power of Regen Agriculture.

These are two recent articles detailing rising local house prices and the exploding rental market. The first is an SMH article and the next one is from the ABC. It gives some first-hand accounts of locals trying to buy and rent.

As mentioned earlier, Byron Bay has lots of wannabes. Lots of coastal locations are being touted as ‘The Next Byron Bay”. Well, just where are they? Ray White posted an article they think are hot picks of this elusive title.
