A buyer’s agent is a licensed professional who represents the interests of a prospective property buyer. They represent the interests of a buyer in a real estate transaction by first searching for, scoping out and evaluating properties, as well as negotiating or bidding at auction on your behalf. Their clients range from first home buyers and time-poor house hunters, to property investors buying in an unfamiliar area.

A buyer's agent will find potential homes, communicate with sellers and their agents, and represent your interests when negotiating a home purchase.

A good buyer's agent can act as a guide on your homebuying journey. They'll show you properties that fit your criteria, help you craft a competitive offer, negotiate on your behalf and generally provide you with knowledge and support throughout the homebuying process.

In essence, the key distinction lies in their primary clientele. A real estate agent's primary client is the seller (vendor) of the property, while a buyer's agent's focus is, as the name implies, on the buyer (purchaser). The seller pays a real estate agent to market and sell their property, whereas a buyer's agent is compensated by the buyer to facilitate property discovery and provide an array of associated services.

To embark on a successful property journey, a buyer's agent initiates by collaborating closely with their client to unravel the specifics of their property requirements. This includes factors ranging from location preferences to the number of bedrooms, proximity to amenities like shops, transportation, schools, and various lifestyle priorities.

In situations where the buyer seeks assistance in narrowing down their options, especially if they're venturing into their inaugural home purchase, a buyer's agent steps in with invaluable guidance. Whether they're new to a city or unaware of burgeoning neighbourhoods, the buyer's agent introduces potential areas of interest. In scenarios where the buyer is an investor, the agent shifts their focus toward projecting potential capital growth or rental yield.

The cost of engaging a buyer's agent varies and doesn't adhere to a fixed formula. Fee structures differ across professionals in the field. While certain agents opt for a fixed fee, others charge a percentage based on the purchase price, typically falling within the range of 1.5% to 3.5%. It's also common for some buyer's agents to request an initial retainer fee upon commencement of services.

An adept buyer's agent often boasts extensive experience navigating the intricacies of the purchasing process, including skillful participation in auction bidding. Some go the extra mile by offering a unique promise – a commitment to locating a suitable property within a specified timeframe, often around 6 months, or else no fee applies.

When seeking a buyer's agent, it's crucial to consider not only the monetary aspect but also the value they bring to the table in terms of expertise, dedication, and their ability to expedite your property search.
