What exactly is a buyer's agent?
The buyer’s agent is the most reliable way to get a home at a good price. A buyer’s agent acts on behalf of the buyer and does not represent the interests of real estate sellers or developers. The primary benefit of using a buyer’s agent is that you can be assured that your best interests will be looked after, not those of the seller or developer.
Our buyer’s agent can provide an objective point of view. Because we do not represent the seller, we have no interest in selling you any particular property, so we can help you keep perspective during what may be an emotionally charged process.
The Pros of Using a Buyer's Agent
The main benefit of using a buyer’s agent is that they will save you money. An experienced buyer’s agent knows how to negotiate on your behalf to lower the price of a home and get you into a good deal. They also know how to find homes that are undervalued or have other issues that can be used to drive down their price.
Another advantage of using a buyer’s agent is that they can save you time. You do not have to spend hours searching through newspapers, flyers and websites looking at available homes when a buyer’s agent can do all this work for you. They will narrow down your options based on what features are most important to you and which houses best meet your needs and budget.
What should I look for in a buyer's agent?
The best way to answer this is to ask for a consultation with a local buyer’s agent. There are some things you’ll want to know about an agent, but we can’t tell you what they are.
The reason is that different agents are good at different things, and it depends on what you want. There are a few absolute musts: the agent has to be able to find properties that meet your requirements, and they have to be able to get you in to see them quickly. But beyond that, it varies.
For instance, some agents will have more expertise in specific neighborhoods or types of properties. Others will be better at negotiating with sellers; this is especially important if you’re looking in extremely competitive markets like Doncaster. There are differences in how they prefer to communicate with clients–email, text, phone calls–as well as their availability (some agents have assistants who can provide support when the primary agent isn’t available). And of course there are personality issues; you want someone who will listen to what’s important to you and advocate for your interests rather than trying to steer you towards whatever happens to be convenient for them.
Auction Bidding in Doncaster
It’s not easy to buy property in Doncaster at the moment because there are so many potential buyers and so little stock. There are a lot of Doncaster people living abroad who are returning home, and with interest rates low, there are also a lot of investors buying.
Because of the shortage of properties, buyers sometimes pay more than they expect to or think they can afford. There are two ways of bidding at auction: the first is by registering your interest beforehand with the auctioneer. You then get news of any sales before they take place and can choose whether or not to bid. You can also telephone your bid through to the auctioneer on the day of the sale. This method is good if you want to stay anonymous, but you need to get your bids in early – it’s too easy for the phone line to go down nearer the end of a sale.
The second way is to attend the auction and bid yourself. This means you have less chance of getting carried away and paying too much for a property, but you run the risk that someone will bid higher than you thought possible and put you out of business without you’re even knowing it.
