While you're probably familiar with real estate agents who represent a seller in a real estate transaction, you may not be so familiar with real estate agents who represent a buyer. Where a prospective buyer engages a real estate agent to help them find and buy a suitable property, these agents may be known as buyer’s agents.
If a person carries on a business or holds themselves out as a real estate agent, they must be a licensed real estate agent. A buyer’s agent acts on your behalf and in your best interests when purchasing a property. Your buyer’s agent may search, evaluate and/or negotiate the purchase of a property on your behalf.
You may also come across terms such as buyer advocates, property finders or property advisors.
Reasons to engage a buyer's agent:
-
You don't have time to look for a property and need another party to find a property for you
-
You would like an objective third party to act in your best interests by negotiating a deal on a property you have found
-
You have limited knowledge of desirable areas or particular features a property should have
-
You're not aware of market value
-
You don't live in the area
Before appointing a buyer’s agent it is important to evaluate your needs. It is up to you to decide which aspects of buying a property you are willing to take on and which you would like a buyer’s agent to do for you. The number and type of services you appoint an agent to undertake as your buyer’s agent will determine the fees you pay.
A buyer’s agent may offer you the following services:
-
Conduct research in order to prepare a list of properties that fit your criteria and arrange for you to view them
-
Advise on the merits of individual properties
-
Discuss market values
-
Bid for you at auction
-
Conduct enquiries and searches with relevant authorities to determine if any issues affect the use and enjoyment of the property
-
Engage in negotiation on your behalf
-
Assist with the wording of special conditions in offer and acceptance contracts
-
Explain the terms and conditions in the seller’s contract and advise if they are in your best interests (a buyer’s agent cannot provide you with legal advice)
-
Arrange building and pest inspections and other services
-
Monitor the settlement process
-
Liaise with selling agents
-
Contractors and settlement agents
-
Oversee final inspections
If you are an investor, you may also need advice about other matters, such as the desired rent, whether the property will attract tenants, and any capital expenses or repairs that will need to carried out in order to attract tenants at the desired rent. It is important to note that under the Corporations Act 2001 the buyer’s agent cannot provide you with financial advice unless they hold an Australian Financial Services licence.
An advantage of using a buyer’s agent to negotiate on your behalf is that you do not have to deal directly with the seller’s agent if you don’t want to, thereby reducing the likelihood of direct pressure sales tactics that may be used by the selling agent.

什么是买方代理可以做而我自己不能做的？为您节省时间、金钱和压力！是的，这听起来可能有点陈词滥调，我相信你以前都听过，但这是真的。 由于买方代理每天都在为他们的客户寻找合适的房产，他们还可以确保您不会错过任何机会。大多数人只有在周末才有时间搜索和检查房产，但您的买方代理人也会在整个星期内为您做这件事。 买方代理人也非常熟悉许多不同的房地产市场，如果您想在不同的市场或州际投资，这是一个优势。在大多数情况下，在您的“后院”购买投资物业不一定是最佳投资地点。澳大利亚有许多不同的房地产市场，因此您所在的郊区或地区获得最佳结果的机会非常渺茫。 您的买方代理人将能够就不同的市场对您进行培训，根据您的预算和目标解释哪些市场是投资的理想选择，并提供他们在那里达成的其他交易的例子以及他们取得的成果 通过多年来与销售代理建立的牢固关系，他们还将获得公众无法获得的场外和上市前机会。

买方代理需要获得许可吗？是的。重要的是要检查您的买方代理人是否获得了在您要购买房产的州或地区的购买许可。还建议检查他们的工作经验和资格，因为有许多“弹出式”买方代理人没有通过“快速通道”课程进入买方代理空间的行业经验。 要从您的买方代理那里获得真正的结果，他们应该在买卖房产和/或管理投资房产方面拥有个人和专业经验。 Ready Set Buy - Property Buyer's Agents 由 Tome Avelovski 创立，他自 2015 年以来一直从事房地产行业。Tome 本人是一位经验丰富的房地产投资者和房主。他和他的团队对澳大利亚的各种房地产市场有着广泛的了解，到 2021 年已成功帮助 100 多名买家购买了价值超过 6000 万澳元的房产。

买方代理的费用是多少？买方的代理人可以收取固定费用或购买价格的一定百分比（佣金）。一开始通常会有一小笔聘用费（也称为“聘用费”），以便开始使用他们的服务来帮助您制定策略和简介。余额通常仅在您成功购买房产后支付。 通过 Ready Set Buy - Property Buyer's Agents，您可以放心，我们将始终通过收取固定固定费用来为您的最佳利益服务。我们相信固定费用更加透明，确保我们的客户知道他们将预先支付的唯一费用，并且我们将始终致力于谈判尽可能低的价格，因为我们没有动力这样做。 这也应该让您相信我们会为您提供所有合适的选项，而不仅仅是那些在您的预算顶端的选项，只是为了让您支付更高的费用。
