Frequently Asked Questions

The top 10 most asked questions about buyer’s advocates, answered:
1. What exactly does a buyer's agent do?
A buyer’s agent is a licensed real estate professional who represents the interests of buyers throughout the purchasing process. They assist buyers in finding suitable properties, negotiating offers, navigating contracts, and guiding them through the closing process.
We exclusively operate in South Australia. This is because we believe in specialisation over diversification when it comes to knowledge and expertise. A local specialist will understand their market at a considerably deeper level compared to someone trying to buy all around Australia.
The time it takes to source a property can vary depending on several factors, including your specific criteria, market conditions, and the availability of suitable properties. While some buyers find their dream home relatively quickly, others may take longer to identify the perfect property that meets their needs and preferences.
We have committed to operate solely within the South Australian market. Zach’s extensive research in his own Adelaide-based property portfolio has led to a deeper understanding of local market trends than could be expected from other generalists.
A big aspect of what we do is building and maintaining agent relationships and networks. This offers several advantages not typically accessible to the general public- particularly in securing off-market opportunities.
6. What are your fees?
Our flat-fee structure comprises an initial engagement fee to begin the search, and an exchange fee once the desired property has been found and secured.
If you’re buying a property for investment purposes the expense of engaging a buyers’ agent may be considered tax deductible. This fee forms part of the acquisition or “cost base” of the property. It’s advisable to consult with your accountant to confirm whether the fee qualifies for tax deductibility in your specific situation.
While online search tools can be helpful in identifying potential properties, a buyer’s agent offers personalised assistance and expertise that goes beyond what you can find online. They can provide insights into market trends, property values, and neighborhood dynamics, as well as help you navigate the complexities of contracts and negotiations.
We work closely with mortgage brokers and lenders that provide guidance on financing options. They will recommend reputable lenders, explain different types of loans, and help you understand the financial aspects of purchasing a home. Additionally, they can advise on strategies to strengthen your offer and increase your chances of securing finance.
Absolutely, we assist clients across Australia and internationally to buy in South Australia.
