Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Buyer’s Advocate?
A Buyer’s Advocate (also known as a buyer’s agent) specialises in representing the interests of property buyers. They provide professional property search, negotiation, and purchasing support to ensure clients secure the best possible deal while mitigating market risks.
Why Choose a Buyer’s Advocate?
A Buyer’s Advocate helps you save time, money, and effort by gaining access to off-market properties and leveraging expert negotiation skills to secure your ideal property at the best possible price.
Difference Between a Buyer’s Advocate and a Real Estate Agent?
A real estate agent represents the seller, aiming to secure the highest possible price for the vendor.
A Buyer’s Advocate, on the other hand, works solely for the buyer, ensuring you purchase a property under the most favorable terms and conditions.
