Most people in Australia mistakenly believe that a real estate agent is working for the buyer when negotiating the purchase of a property. In actual fact the opposite is true.
If you have sold property before, you will appreciate that a seller's agent has a legal and moral obligation to achieve the highest price possible for the seller, their client. Unfortunately this is the opposite of the buyer's objective. When acting as selling agents, the Independent team will always deal honestly and fairly with buyer's but we cannot work for them as our loyalty must always be to the seller.
We cannot serve two masters at the same time - however, if the properties we have listed for sale are not suitable for you - we can act for you as your buyer's agent.
Now you can enjoy the many benefits of having a licensed real estate agent working for you exclusively when buying property.
It's time that buyer's had the same opportunity to be represented as seller's in what, for most people, are the most important transactions of their lives.
The number of people taking advantage of buyer's agent services in Australia has exploded over the last five years and with good reason. In the USA, and other countries, it is considered normal practice for a buyer to engage an agent to locate a property and negotiate on a professional level with the seller's agent. |
