What Does A Buyers Agent/Advocates Do?
A buyer’s agent specialises in scoping out and evaluating properties on behalf of their client, a buyer (i.e. a purchaser). If the buyer is interested in one of the properties introduced to them by the buyer’s agent, that agent can also negotiate the sale on behalf of that buyer/client. In some cases, a buyer may have found a property, but chooses to use a buyer’s agent just to take care of the negotiations or to bid on their behalf if the property is going to auction.
How Much Does A Buyers Agent Cost?
Buyers' Agent fees usually start from $500 dollars for attending an Auction and $1000 as success fees. Different fees for Negotiation only and Full Service. To start the search, most of the buyer's agents charge an upfront retainer fee.
Who Pays the Buyer Agents Fees?
A buyers’ agent works exclusively for the buyer, whereas a selling agent works for the vendor (seller). Therefore, Buyers Agent fees are paid by the buyer (you). Remember a buyers’ agent does not sell real-estate.
