Noosa Buyers Agent

Frequently Asked Questions

A Buyer’s Agent or Buyer’s Advocate is a real estate professional dedicated to representing a buyer’s best interests throughout the property buying process. While a real estate agent works on behalf of the seller, focusing on listing and selling the property, a buyer’s agent works and advocates for the buyer.

Supporting and guiding you throughout the home purchasing process, a buyer’s agent finds the ideal home to match your property brief in the most suitable location. They also attend viewings on your behalf, highlight the pros and cons of a property and locale, develop a short list of appropriate properties, provide market analysis, negotiate the best offer for your budget, and guide you through all the steps to settlement. With their expertise, a Buyer’s Agent ensures you secure the best deal to match your property brief and protects your interests every step of the way.

Buying a property is one of life’s most important and expensive purchases and something you may only do a handful of times in your lifetime. Having Noosa Buyers Agent’s support, expertise and experience at your disposal can save you from making ill-formed or costly decisions.

Our process includes the following steps:

  1. Buyer’s Brief: Chatting to you, we listen to fully understand your residential home requirements, from your property feature essentials, suburb preferences, lifestyle goals, and proximity to beaches, schools and other important amenities. We then collate this information in a detailed brief.
  2. Property Search: We begin our extensive property search on your behalf. This includes evaluating and inspecting on and off-market properties, leveraging our extensive local networks, while presenting options that ideally suit your requirements.
  3. Property Details: We present detailed video walk-throughs and/or photos of each shortlisted home, outlining the pros and cons of each property so you can make an informed buying decision. This detail takes in nearby surrounds from the suburb to the streetscape and neighbouring properties.
  4. Market Insights: We supply information and current market trends based on recent sales of properties in your chosen area, including suburb statistics and sale history reports. We research and oversee all of the due diligence associated with buying a home to ensure you are confident with every aspect of your property purchase.
  5. Buying Strategy: After assessing the market value of each property, we’ll advise you on the best buying strategy. We will contact the selling agents and negotiate on your behalf or represent you at auction. Next, we assist with preparing a contract offer, conducting any further negotiations and securing the property for you at the best price, conditions and terms.
  6. Smooth Settlement: We manage the entire process through to settlement, including arranging and attending independent building and pest inspections. We’ll keep key contract activities running smoothly and attend pre-settlement inspections to ensure your property is perfect for settlement day.

Most commonly, we find a property within 2-6 weeks. However, it will depend on your requirements and the current market conditions. Once we assess your requirements, we’ll let you know what we think.
