What actually is a buyer's agent?

A buyer’s agent is an independent, licensed real estate professional who has pledged to protect your interests throughout the home buying process.

The buyer’s agent works for you and only you, and owes you duties of confidentiality, full disclosure, loyalty, obedience, accountability and reasonable skill and care. The buyer’s agent does not work for the seller. If you are also working with a listing agent (the agent who has the listing on the house), be very clear about which one is representing you and who is working for the seller.

How much does it cost to use a buyer’s agent? It doesn’t cost you anything to use a buyer’s agent. They get paid out of the commission that is already built into the price of your new home. For example, if a listing says “seller will pay 3% commission,” 2.5% will go to the listing side and 0.5% will go to the selling side – which could be your buyer’s agent or another person entirely. In other words, if you find your own home without representation, that second half of that 3% goes right back into the seller’s pocket!

Why should you use a buyer's agent?

Because it’s your money, isn’t it?

Buying a home is one of the largest personal investments most people will ever make. It’s more than just bricks and mortar; it’s where you’ll raise your family, entertain friends and build a future. And like any personal investment, it deserves careful consideration. If you were about to invest $250,000 in a business, would you do it without the advice of an experienced professional? Of course not. Then why settle for less when it comes to buying a home?

Using our Buyer’s Agent as your guide through the complicated and often confusing process of buying a new home is the best way to ensure you’re getting expert advice from someone who has your interests at heart.

We do all the work saving you precious time and money. We will visit, inspect, appraise and report back to you on all properties that meet your criteria until you find your dream property. We can also negotiate on your behalf once we have found you a property to purchase, save you money and take away all the stress of buying a property in Sandringham.

Auction Bidding in Sandringham

Here’s a simplified version of how Auction Bidding in Sandringham happens:
1. The auctioneer will ask for an opening bid from the assembled crowd of registered bidders.
2. People signal their bids by raising their numbered bidding cards, or simply by calling out their numbers.
3. The auctioneer will call out “going once” and “going twice”, then “sold” when the highest bidder has been identified.
4. If there are no further bids, the hammer will be brought down and the sale is complete.

If you want to make a purchase, but don’t know where to start, here are a few tips to help you find your way around the auction block:

  • Check out our catalogue listings in advance so you can get a better idea of what’s going on sale on the day, and plan your bidding accordingly.
  • Register to bid when you arrive at least 30 minutes before an auction starts so that there’s plenty of time for paperwork and ID verification. On days with multiple auctions, we recommend you register for each one separately so that our staff can help you manage your bids more easily.

How do I select a Buyer's Agent and Auction Bidding in Sandringham, VIC?

Buying a property is a serious investment and you need to make sure that you are doing the right thing at the right time. It is not easy to find a suitable house in the market, especially when you are new to this world. Most of us might have heard about auction bidding but only few of us have actually done it.

Buyer’s Agents can help you understand the market and auction bidding better. They can also act on your behalf when you are taking part in an auction bidding. As they are more experienced, they can guide you properly and advice as to how much you should bid for a particular property.

Auction Bidding is quite common in Australia, especially in Sandringham, VIC. Before taking part in auctions make sure that you are well informed about all the terms and conditions that apply while participating in such events. If possible do not take part in an auction without having your Buyer’s Agent by your side.
