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.

How our vendor advocacy service can help you

Before we begin the marketing process for your home, we will first gain an understanding of what you hope to accomplish. After that, we will conduct multiple interviews with real estate agents to provide you with a shortlist of those who are the best fit for your requirements. It is essential to choose the real estate agent who is the best fit for your needs, even if doing so requires going through several different people.

We will analyse the marketing plan and budget, as well as negotiate the commission, and ensure that all requirements are met.
Since the property market is constantly evolving, we will help you determine the most effective method for selling your home, including whether to hold an auction and how much to allocate for marketing. Both of these variables are subject to change.
We will prepare the sale, and based on our market knowledge, we will be able to offer you, the seller, assistance in making informed decisions.
We maintain a close eye on the performance of the real estate agent, analyse how successful the campaign is, and check in often with our vendor, providing information and making suggestions about what you should do.
