Buying or investing in a holiday house?
Many of us have dreamed of owning our own holiday home – not just a place to escape to when we need a break, but also as a potential investment strategy that could provide short- and long-term rental income when we’re not there ourselves.
It’s important to understand what you want to achieve when buying a holiday house. Are you looking to buy purely as a financial investment? Or perhaps you’d like a place you, your family and friends can use to get away? It might even be a mixture of the two, but one reason is probably a little more important to you. This is where we come in to help.
Our comprehensive service is unparalleled in the industry allowing us to give you the best possible advice and support to meet your objectives. We provide after-hours support as we understand timezones can be tricky, along with detailed walkthrough virtual inspections so that you can get a good sense of the space. We pride ourselves in operating a full confidential, transparent and open-communication buyer's advocacy service, as this is a prerequisite to getting the best results for you.
Following your complimentary discovery call, we'll set up your brief so that we have a clear and detailed search criteria. This will help guide us to find you the best property which is specific to your needs and within your budget. We'll conduct the research, search and shortlist suitable properties, carry out due diligence, negotiate or bid at auction - helping you all the way through from acquisition to settlement.

FAQ's
-
What is a Buyer's Agent?To put it in simple terms, a buyer's agent (otherwise known as buyer's advocate) represents the buyer in a property purchase transaction. But when employing Ready Set Buy - Property Buyer's Agents, it's much more than that. For investors, we'll ascertain what your goals are and then devise a strategy to help you achieve them. This involves us getting to know you not only on a professional level but also understanding where you are in life now and where you'd like to be in 5, 10, 15+ years time - both personally and financially. For home buyers, we'll get to know you on a more personal level to understand what exactly it is you're looking to buy. Your family's composition, preferred suburbs and property types, amenities and transport, your lifestyle etc will all play a major role in our property search and acquisition stage.
-

With Ready Set Buy - Property Buyer's Agents, we offer a full and comprehensive service from start to finish, and beyond! This includes setting up your initial strategy and brief, searching, inspecting and shortlisting suitable properties, performing research and due diligence, negotiating and auction bidding.

What can a Buyer's Agent do that I can't do on my own?Save you time, money and stress! Yes, it may sound a little cliche and I'm sure you've heard it all before but it's true. As buyer's agents work daily on finding suitable properties for their clients, they can also ensure you don't miss out on any opportunities. Most people only get time on the weekends to search for and inspect properties, but your buyer's agent will also do this throughout the week for you. Buyer's agents are also very familiar with many different property markets, which is an advantage if you're looking to invest in a different market or interstate. In most cases, buying an investment property in your 'backyard' is not necessarily the best place to invest. Australia has so many different property markets, so the chances that your own suburb or area will return the best results is very slim. Your buyer's agent will be able to educate you on the different markets, explain which ones are ideal for investment based on your budget and goals and provide examples of other deals they've secured there and the results they've achieved They'll also have access to off-market and pre-market opportunities which are not available to the general public, through the strong relationships they've built over the years with sales agents.
-
Does a Buyer's Agent need to be licensed?Yes. It's important to check that your buyer's agent is licensed to purchase in the state or territory you're looking to buy a property in. It's also advisable to check their work experience and qualifications, as there are many 'pop up' buyer's agents with no industry experience entering the buyer's agency space through a 'fast-track' course. To achieve true results from your buyer's agent, they should have personal and professional experience in buying and selling properties and/or managing investment properties. Ready Set Buy - Property Buyer's Agents was founded by Tome Avelovski who has been working in the real estate industry since 2015. Tome is an experienced property investor himself and a home owner. He and his team have extensive knowledge of various property markets across Australia, having successfully helped over 200 buyers and purchased over $100million worth of property by 2023.
-
How much does a Buyer's Agent cost?Buyer's agents can charge either a fixed fee or a percentage of the purchase price (commission). There's usually a small retainer (also known as an 'engagement fee') upfront in order to commence using their services - this is to cover their time in performing extensive research to set up your strategy and search brief. The balance is usually payable upon successful purchase a property. With Ready Set Buy - Property Buyer's Agents, you can rest assured that we'll always be working in your best interest by charging a transparent fee. We believe that having a transparent fee upfront ensures our clients know the only fee they will pay and that we'll always aim to negotiate the lowest possible price, as there's no incentive for us to do otherwise. This should also give you the confidence that we're going to present you with all of the suitable options and not just those that are at the top-end of your budget, just so you pay a higher fee.
-
Who pays the Buyer's Agent?The person engaging with the services of the buyer's agent (the property buyer) pays the buyer's agent their fee, as they're representing and working for them in the transaction.
Whether you’re living in Australia, New York, London, Singapore, Hong Kong or anywhere else in the world, our team of buyer's advocates will act as your personal property concierge and ensure that your property purchase is as stress free and convenient as possible.
