Negotiation Only
I am having a number of enquiries from buyers who want to engage with a reputable buyers agent but for negotiation only so I thought I would just highlight that briefly. In a cooling market, it is vital to have expert advice from someone who will make sure you don’t overpay.
If a client has the time to search for a property they can take care of the sourcing and then engage me when it's a property that’s suitable.
From there we have a four-step process:
- Inspect the property -looking at the condition, finishes, location and respect to determine its quality.
- Ascertain the likely sales price -researching the agent's track record, using our knowledge of comparable sales and gauging the vendor expectations/motivations
- Assist with due diligence -organising or liaising with building & pest/strata inspectors and letting the client know of key findings
- Tailor a negotiation strategy -once we have all the information at hand we decide on a strategy based on the client's budget and motivations for the particular property. This can include auction bidding, negotiating prior to the auction or a private treaty - all backed by our adept negotiation skills.
This year provides an opportunity to buy property in a significantly cooler environment: The uncertainty is however causing many people to pause their searches. An interesting case in human psychology, the herd mentality is alive within us. If you want to break away from the herd and leverage the current uncertainty to purchase property in much more favourable conditions contact us today.
