Choosing an Independent Buyers Agent
ResourcesIndependent Buyers Agents Melbourne will save you time, provide you with expert advice and help you secure a property at the best price. They will undertake extensive research, complete due diligence and conduct inspections on your behalf. They can negotiate and manage private sales and auctions, as well as assist you with contract review and settlement.
It is important to choose an independent buyers agent, accredited with REBAA. This will ensure they work solely on your behalf and do not accept any sales commissions from vendors or developers. This is a legal requirement in Australia.
When choosing a buyers agent, consider their experience and track record in the Melbourne market. Also assess their licence and accreditations. Some buyers agents specialise in certain areas or price points, so find one who will align with your goals. Also, look for an agent who will take the time to understand your needs and build a relationship of trust.
