Buyers Agents are your Personal Property Advisor | Your Expert Guidance

Here is a property investment secret. It is a very well kept secret... until now. And it is also one of the most frequently asked question.

"What is a buyer's agent? What does a buyer's agent do?"

Buying Properties. For time-poor investors.

Let's look at this from another perspective. If you have $100,000 in cash and you are looking to invest, will you engage the services of a financial planner or a fund manager? OR are you confident enough to do it yourself?

Now, when you are intending to buy a $1million property, will you seek professional advice? OR will you buy and hope for the best?

Successful property investors like Donald Trump and Warren Buffett do not buy their own properties. They engage the services of buyer advocates or buyer agents. ​ Professional property investors know that buying properties is a very time consuming process which many successful investors do not have. It requires a lot of due diligence, research, planning, feasibility studies / modelling, growth considerations, searching, shortlisting properties, and doing on-site inspections, etc. ​​ Through our 25+ years of experience in working with buyers, we have found that many buyers: ❌ do not have a plan ❌ do not have enough time to source for the property ❌ fear overpaying for the property ❌ do not fully understand what is involved in due diligence ❌ do not like to deal with real estate agents ​❌ do not realise selling real estate agents are bound by law to look after the interest of the seller.

​​ The secret to property buying?
