Investors
A buyers' agent should sharpen your strategy, not just find you a property
The right advocate saves you time, keeps you out of the wrong stock, and negotiates without the emotion. The wrong one simply sends you listings you could find yourself.
Ask this first
Questions that separate advocates from list-forwarders
- 01
Which suburbs and price brackets do you actually transact in, and how often?
- 02
How do you decide what to buy — what is your written brief and rejection process?
- 03
How much of your pipeline is off-market, and how do you source it?
- 04
Do you charge a fixed fee or a percentage, and when is each instalment payable?
- 05
Do you receive any commission or benefit from developers, sellers or agencies?
- 06
How many clients are you working with at the moment in my target market?
Independence matters
Watch for conflicts of interest
A buyers' agent who is paid by the seller, a developer or a project marketer is not working only for you. Ask for their disclosure in writing before you engage them — and hold HOMII to the same standard: our own referral arrangements are published in full.
