WHAT IS A BUYERS ADVOCATE?
When using a Buyers Advocate, it's like working with a 'professional helping hand' who can guide you through the process of buying your home.
​
Known by a number of different names such as Buyers Agent, Property Advocate or Real Estate Buyers Advocate, the important aspect of the is role is to support you through the complete property purchase process. Traditionally, Real Estate Agents act exclusively for the person selling the property and a buyers advocate or buyers agent works exclusively with the person buying the property to get the best outcome for the buyer.
​
Melbourne Property Solutions understands the Melbourne's complexity of this process and the property market; we act for you, giving guidance and advice to ensure you've considered all the factors and are aware of the process of securing your property.
WHY USE A BUYERS ADVOCATE?
Melbourne Property Solutions understand that buying a home is often the largest purchase you will make. We want to ensure you limit any mistakes, especially the costly ones.
Many people buy a property in Melbourne without the professional help of a Buyers Advocate and while you may be lucky that it all works out, that is often not the case.
When selling a property, people engage in a qualified Real Estate Agent who understand their property, the value of the area and is good at negotiations. This is to maximise the selling price. Therefore, it makes sense when you are purchasing a property to engage a professional representation to help you through the process and maximise your outcome by buying the best property for the right price within your budget. We act solely for you and have extensive experience dealing with real estate agents.
We recognise their priorities and motives and identify a property's strengths and weaknesses. Real Estate Agencies are always keeping Melbourne Property Solutions updated with off the market homes and properties soon to be coming.
BUYERS ADVOCATE COST
The fees a buyer’s agent charges can be quite diverse based on the property's location, the extent of services provided, and the expertise of the agent. Some buyer’s agents charge a fixed rate, while others take their fee as a percentage of the purchase price.
In Melbourne, buyer’s agents usually charge between 1.5% and 3% of the cost of the property. Hence buyer agency fees in Melbourne can vary significantly, based on the property price as well as the percentage charged by the buyer's advocate. We are happy to discuss our individualised fees upon enquiry.
