Benefits of a Buyer’s Agent

One of the great myths about property buying and investing is that it’s easy – all you need is the money, right?

Wrong. Buying any property is difficult, even for savvy and experienced property investors. There are so many things to think about, like building condition, unusual contract clauses, and whether or not the property suits your goals as an investor.

That’s where smart property investors hire experts in the field to find them excellent quality property. These specialists, like the team at Patrick Leo, are known as buyer’s agents.

Let’s discuss the benefits of a buyer’s agent and why our services are invaluable to keen property investors like yourself.

Gaining expert knowledge

An investor may have bought 10 or more properties across their career, or they might not have any experience in property buying. Regardless of where you’re at, a buyer’s agent is a wealth of knowledge. An experienced buyer’s agent has helped to buy dozens, if not hundreds, of properties throughout their career.

This is the best way for investors to gain expert knowledge when looking for a property, having a seasoned pro in their corner. Buyer’s agents know what to look for when buying a property – something that requires years of experience, research and training to master.

Excellent negotiators

On top of this, we’re excellent negotiators. Buyer’s agents handle all aspects of negotiating for their clients, whether it means doing the bidding at an auction or making offers on an off-market transaction.

Connected to many real estate agents

In pretty much any industry, you’ll hear the phrase “it’s not what you know; it’s who you know.” This also rings true in real estate – especially when referring to buyer’s agents. A great buyer’s agent is connected with many real estate agents, and this offers several key perks for investors.

Real estate agents are always the first to know when a property hits the market. Through a buyer’s agent, who has built rapport with real estate agents, investors have better chance of inspecting and making an offer on a home before their competition has. And, as we all know, competition is fierce right now.

Real estate agents and buyer’s agents work together all the time and this relationship is built on trust and long-term goals of continuing to work together. What this means is that real estate agents are more likely to have your best interests in mind when you go through a buyer’s agent, being upfront about any potential problems with the property or any unusual aspects of the contract, such as easements.
