Yes, it does cost to use a Buyer\u2019s Advocate and for good reason.\u00a0 They will coordinate the entire process from the searching, due diligence, market knowledge and experience to tough negotiations to secure you the best property for the best price. All of this with as much or as little input as you wish.\u00a0 Your Advocate should be saving you the fee they charge in their negotiations alone, let alone the quality asset they select and the extra growth it will attract. When we sell a property, we expect the agent to collect a fee, usually a percentage of the sale price for marketing the property and negotiating the sale.\u00a0 So why do we resist this same service and fee and expertise when buying?<\/p><p>Factor number 3 \u2013 Australians love property.\u00a0 If you attend any BBQ or social gathering this weekend, there is a strong chance that the property topic will be raised and robustly discussed.\u00a0 We all like to think we know the property market well and that we can pick the next \u2018hot spot\u2019 or snag a bargain, but in reality a lot of Australians have had good property outcomes purely from the natural rise in the market which is nothing more than luck.\u00a0 When the market gets tighter, experience counts when we want the same property wins.\u00a0 To a certain extent, it is our egos telling us not to engage a professional when we think we can do the job better ourselves.<\/p><p>Factor number 4 \u2013 lack of understanding of what benefits a Buyer\u2019s Advocate provides.\u00a0 When speaking to people about what I do for a living, most people give me a blank look when I tell them I am a Buyer\u2019s Advocate.\u00a0 I go on to explain in simple terms that I help people to successfully buy property.\u00a0 In the past, there was a myth that using a Buyer\u2019s Advocate was only for the wealthy.\u00a0 The benefits of engaging a Buyer\u2019s Advocate are well worth the cost.\u00a0 Understanding the market, knowing the suburbs, working with agent\u2019s day in day out, having access to off market properties, understanding what makes a top-grade property, professional negotiation and bidding skills are only a few of the benefits.<\/p><p>In conclusion, selling a property is a huge decision and is not taken lightly given we spend thousands of dollars to appoint a qualified and experienced local Sales Agent and trust they will do a good job.\u00a0 So why not use this same logic and appoint a qualified and experienced local Buyer Agent\/Advocate to ensure your hard-earned dollars are well spent on the best quality property you can afford?<\/p><p><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; background-color: var( --e-global-color-astglobalcolor4 ); color: var(--ast-global-color-3);\">If you would like independent, experienced and friendly assistance when purchasing your next home or investment property, then please get in touch with The Property Bureau on 03 9018 7870 to book a no obligation appointment with one of our Buyer\u2019s Advocates.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8711468 elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-1326 elementor-widget-author-box\" data-id=\"8711468\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"author-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/propertybureau.com.au\/wp-content\/plugins\/elementor-pro\/assets\/css\/widget-theme-elements.min.css\">\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/propertybureau.com.au\/our-team\/kristy-caskey\/\" class=\"elementor-author-box__avatar\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/propertybureau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/kristy-buyers-agent-melbourne-200x300.webp\" alt=\"Picture of Kristy Caskey\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/propertybureau.com.au\/our-team\/kristy-caskey\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-author-box__name\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKristy Caskey\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box__bio\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Kristy prides herself on making her clients feel welcome, understood and in safe hands from their very first meeting.
