BUYER’S PROFILE & REQUIREMENTS

Our clients, Michael & Louise were expanding their Newman electrical business to Perth and relocating with his whole family. Michael reached out to Property Wizards with the hope to find the perfect dream home for his wife and 4 children.

The family prepared a list of criteria and detailed requirements as to how they want their dream home to look like. First of all, the house had to be a modern double-storey, with 4 bedrooms and a provision for a possible home theatre or office. In addition, they needed the property to have a pool for their children to enjoy.

Proximity to the ocean was very important and Michael and Louise were also keen to be near good schools for their children.

Recently, many home buyers have come to the realisation that in order to secure the best possible house for an ideal price, hiring someone that knows the property market inside out is the only way to go.

Imagine all of that stress lifted off your shoulders and placed into the hands of a real estate professional who’s only goal is one thing – to find you your dream home.

So, what exactly does a buyer’s agent do? To simplify this, let’s delve into what the normal day looks like from the perspective of a buyer’s agent.

BACKGROUND

In February 2020, Property Wizards was working with a client who wanted to buy, build and invest in a new child-care centre. With extensive research, we found our client two ideal, adjacent properties in Duncraig. This was the perfect because:

1. The location has brilliant visibility
2. Situated on a corner lot with side road access
3. With high volume passing traffic
4. Close to the train and freeway to get into work

DUE DILIGENCE

With our client’s best interest in mind, Property Wizards structured a deal including land purchase and construction. Using Property Wizards’ due diligence, we presented an extensive 69-page document to ensure the property would be right for the purpose.

WHEN THE PANDEMIC HIT

For many years the uptake of buyer’s agents in Western Australia trailed behind the eastern states, but today many WA homebuyers and investors wouldn’t think of buying a property without a buyer’s agent at their side.

With buyer’s agents becoming more prominent in Perth real estate, it can sometimes be confusing to know how the buyer’s agent’s role differs to that of a traditional real estate agent.

So, exactly is the difference between a seller and buyer’s agent?

Who works for whom?

Seller’s agent

Firstly, selling agents have their names on the signboard and are hired by a homeowner to navigate the sales process, including achieve a sale on the best terms possible. They must always act in the seller’s best interests, though they need to be fair to buyers too. (more…)
