It’s no secret that first home buyers have it pretty tough right now, what with property prices continually on the rise and wages at a standstill. But what else I am seeing is that these buyers are high in excitement but super low in confidence – and why wouldn’t they be?! 

Buying your first home can be a daunting experience. With so many things to consider such as location, size, price and more, I completely understand how overwhelming the experience can be. Enter the homebuyer advocate!

Hiring a property buyer can be a very rewarding experience for first homebuyers, and one that saves you a lot of money in the short and long term. Now that I’ve got you’re attention, let’s take a look at some of the other ways a buyers agency like Kitty & Miles can help you. 

Save on time and effort 

Searching for your new or first property can become a full-time job if you’re not careful, and if you’re already working or have other commitments, it can be challenging to find the time to get this done at all, let alone accurately. 

Property buyers have the expertise, resources, and connections to find properties that match your requirements in a jiffy. We know the property market very well, including demographics in the suburbs and cities in the areas you’re interested in buying, as well as what’s available for your budget and lifestyle needs. 

An Australian buyers agency like ours erases time-consuming tasks such as researching, attending property inspections and negotiating with sellers from your to-do list, so you can focus on your work, family or simply enjoying your hard-earned free time.

Access to off-market properties

Did you know every good property buyers agent has access to off-market properties – the ones that are not advertised publicly on sites like Domain, but are very much up for sale? 

Real estate buyers agents have a vast network of contacts, including estate agents, property developers and private sellers practically on speed dial – so if you’re struggling to find a decent property that meets your needs, it may very well be worth your while giving your chosen property buyer a call to see what other properties we’re already privy to that may take your fancy. Getting a first-hand look at such off-market properties will give you an advantage over other buyers and increase your chances of finding your dream home sooner rather than later.

Professional advice and guidance

Buying a property is a significant financial investment, so it’s essential to get professional advice and guidance throughout the process. A good property buyer will provide you with valuable advice and guidance based on their industry experience and expertise in the field, as well as help you to understand property values, trends in the property market, and potential risks. 

The best part? Residential buyers agents will also help you with the legal aspects of buying a property, including contracts, inspections, and closing procedures – all the headachey points of contention you’d rather avoid while on your exciting journey to home ownership. 

Expert negotiation skills

Over the years, it’s become clear that most first time homebuyers lack the negotiation skills needed to nab their chosen property at a fair price. Sellers are understandably eager to get the best price on their property sale, but what first homebuyers don’t realise is that they have bargaining power. 

Negotiating a property purchase can be challenging, especially if lack experience in the property market; however, one buyers agency that can assist in this area is Kitty & Miles.
