Buyer's Agent Brisbane

Your property goals and our role as your buyer’s agent are fully aligned

We are here to help save you stress, time and money on your next property purchase. But not only that…..

Our primary goal when working with you is to get you the best possible outcome – far better than if you had gone through the buying process on your own.

Working with National Property Buyers will mean you have a fully independent, licensed and experienced buyer’s advocate working by your side. Together, we will get you in front of your ideal property, in the shortest possible time and at the best possible price.

What type of property buyers do we work with?

We’ve been in the buyer’s agent business since 2011, so we have lived through all types of market conditions and property cycles. We stick with our proven, time-tested process, plus we add a healthy amount of experience and local expertise into the mix. This meticulous and structured approach works equally well for all types of property.

Typically our clients are:

• • Home Buyers (whether it’s your forever home or your first home).
  • Property Investors.
  • Buying with SMSF (Self Managed Super Fund).
  • Commercial Property Buyers.
  • Medical / Allied Health Professionals.
  • Professional Athletes.
  • Expat & Overseas Buyers.
  • Buyers from Interstate (other States in Australia).

We’ve negotiated and successfully purchased more than one billion dollars worth of property across these areas:

• • Brisbane (all suburbs).
  • Redlands Shire.
  • Moreton Bay.
  • Gold Coast.
  • Sunshine Coast.

Our Boutique, Individually Tailored Buyer’s Agent Service

We offer a proven time-tested buyer’s agent process that involves a clever blend of real world experience, local expertise and cutting edge data backed analysis.

The relationship we strive to have with our clients is one of teamwork, built upon clear communication, transparency and always working towards the same goal.

“Your property goals and our goals as your buyer’s agent are one and the same. We are here to protect your interests at all times and ultimately, to purchase YOUR dream property”

We are always happy to chat about any specific requirements you may have, but generally speaking we offer two levels of service.

1. Full Buyer’s Agent Service

Our premium full service leaves no stone unturned and no detail overlooked to deliver the outcome you desire.

⇒ RESEARCH AND STRATEGY PHASE

The first step is for us to discuss and fully understand your property goals and what you hope to achieve while working with us.

We typically work through all of your preferences in regard to location, your property “must haves” and “nice to haves”, as well as your budget.

This first step is the foundation of our service and it is crucial that we are both crystal clear and fully aligned with what we are out to achieve. Once we are completely clear about your preferences, we’ll set out a solid plan and get to work.

⇒ FINDING AND VETTING SUITABLE PROPERTIES

Now we have your property criteria and goals fully documented and understood, the second step is to get to work finding your ideal property.

We search far and wide to identify property that not only meets your criteria, but is available and on budget. This search includes tapping into our network of local sales agents for pre-market and off-market opportunities, plus sorting through all of the publicly listed property for sale.

We have access to many more property options than a simple online search will reveal. Our established networks within the Brisbane and South East Queensland property markets will open up access to otherwise hidden gems.

Our goal at this stage in the process is to put together a shortlist of highly suitable property based upon your initial criteria. As soon as we have pinpointed some good options, we will get out and about to physically inspect each property of interest (you can come along if you choose to).

Each property on our shortlist undergoes a thorough assessment and due-diligence check. We assess everything that matters to you the buyer, including FLOOD RISK, ZONING ISSUES, BODY CORPORATE, PLANNING OVERLAYS, STREET QUALITY, RENOVATION UPSIDE, SCHOOL ZONES, DOWNSIDE RISK and more.

This research is then compiled and presented to you via a detailed property report for review.

If you’re keen on any of the properties, we’ll then organise and attend any necessary building and pest inspections, plus thoroughly assess the findings.

What does your dream property look like?

⇒ ASSESSING TRUE MARKET VALUE

Now we have uncovered some great property options for you and narrowed the search down, it’s time to accurately assess the value of each property.

Publicly listed price guides and what you hear from sales agents are rarely an accurate reflection of a property’s true value.

But don’t worry, we know what a property is worth in this part of the world, we’ve been in this business since 2011 so we have a great read on “true value”.

Some of the tools we rely upon to determine a property’s value are recent comparable sales, data from property we have purchased in the past, plus the latest market-intelligence software. These elements when combined will get us closer than anyone to assessing “true value”.

We also incorporate LAND VALUES, RENTAL APPEAL, SCARCITY and STOCK LEVELS when calculating our valuation.

At this point in the process we now have a clear picture of each property on our shortlist as well as an accurate up-to-date valuation. This is all done to protect you from making any costly mistakes regarding property selection or overpaying.

⇒ NEGOTIATION, AUCTION BIDDING AND SECURING PROPERTY

At National Property Buyers we are highly skilled, experienced and comfortable negotiating in a high-stakes environment (we’ve negotiated more than $1 billion worth of property transactions across Brisbane).

Regardless of the chosen method of sale (private treaty, auction or even a pre-auction offer) we can put you in a great position as the buyer.

Every property we negotiate on has been thoroughly researched, put through rigorous due-diligence checks and we understand the true value of the property. This puts us in a very strong position at the negotiating table.

Our goal at all times is to purchase your ideal property at the lowest price possible, under the most beneficial terms and conditions for you.

⇒ ADDITIONAL TASKS

Each buyer’s agent job is different and individually tailored to your specific requirements. but here are some other tasks we often help clients with:

• • Coordinate all parties related to the property purchase to ensure the passage through to settlement is a clear and smooth path.
  • If needed we can introduce you to our team of trusted alliances such as conveyancers, contractors or insurance brokers.
  • Arrange and attend the pre-settlement inspection to ensure the property is just the same as it was when we last inspected it.
  • Arrange for pick-up or handover of the key (an exciting day).

2. Evaluation & Negotiation Service

If you have already found a property you are excited about but would like a professional assessment, valuation and our negotiating skills on your side, this is the service for you.

You will receive everything listed above in our full service offering, except you obviously don’t need the initial research and property search elements.

Please get in touch if you have any questions about our evaluation & negotiation service – we are always eager to hear more about your property goals.

Buyer’s Agent Fees

Our fee is designed for clients who value professional buyer representation, thorough due-diligence, disciplined advice and a better buying process.

Each job is different and we are flexible, but generally speaking the total fee is 2-3% (+GST) of the final price of the property you end up purchasing.

The fee is broken into two parts. There is an initial engagement fee which is typically about $2,000 (+GST). Then once you are completely happy and have secured your ideal property, there is a success fee payable upon settlement.

The total fee is 2-3% of the purchase price of your new property (engagement fee + success fee = total fee).

When you work with us, the fee structure will be agreed upon before we get started, it will be based on your budget, brief and service level – not on pushing you toward a higher purchase price. Fully clear and transparent from start to finish.

The value, protection and peace of mind you receive by utilising our service will be well and truly worth the fee.

Let’s discuss it some more, we’ll work out the fee structure that works best for you and of course, there is no charge for this initial consultation.
