Why A Buyers Agent is Invaluable Today

August 2024

 We lay a comprehensive read on why engaging a buyers agent is a strategic advantage in today's market.

  1. Representation on your side: The dynamic of the Sydney Real Estate market is more competitive than ever. Utilizing a buyer’s agent to get ahead of the curve is no longer a luxury, more a necessity. When SydneySlice represents you, you will work with us and only us and we fight the battles for you. We aim to educate you throughout the search process, inspect properties on your behalf and shortlist your Saturdays. Let’s not chat about the stressful Saturdays you waste inspecting properties that end up trading way above the price guide or navigating a conflicted market through media predictions. 

  1. White Glove Service on Due Diligence: At SydneySlice, we are meticulous with our due diligence. A 500-page strata  report doesn’t even phase us. There are building defects or water ingress on the kitchen wall…Now what? Not the first time a buyer’s agent has encountered these roadblocks. Now, we call in our internal network of experts that we trust and have worked with for over 20 years - plumbers, builders, architects, handymen. Our aim is to bring you clarification on the extent of work, timeframes, and quotes so you can make an informed decision with all the facts.  In these instances, we will help you price the risk or you might even see us holding a red flag screaming “ABORT!”

  1. The Fierce Competitor: A common misconception is that we often go head-to-head with the selling agent during negotiations. This is generally not the case - We utilize our long-standing relationships with sales agents to extend a competitive edge in securing you your property. We DO however, go head-to-head with every other buyer in the picture. This includes obtaining inside information such as how many true contenders we are up against, vendor’s reason for selling...are they under time pressure, how fast we need to move or even how slow we need to move to drag out a campaign to auction for a more transparent transaction. You would be surprised at how having the right information plays a crucial role in strategies we implement before hitting the GO button. 

  1. The Silent Seller: We are not talking about the Pre-Market Alerts on your overloaded emails. We are talking about a true Off Market property where only you have stepped into with a deal wrapped up before you know it. How? We are on the phone with sales agents every day, some might even call it bugging.

  1. High Scorer: When you are represented by SydneySlice, we play the game to score. We pull out all the stops to secure your ideal property. We take emotion out of the equation - we will navigate you through the world of under and over quoting as we know the market having inspected all comparable properties and are fully across buyer activity so we know how a campaign will play out.  We factor all these in to making a competitive offer. Another thing to note, an attractive offer is not all numbers - flexibility on contract clauses, a 66W certificate, settlement terms etc come together as a full pick-me  bundle.
