The key difference between a buyer’s advocate and a real estate agent is who they represent. A real estate agent is acting on behalf of the seller, also known as the vendor. A buyer’s advocate is acting purely on behalf of the buyer, working exclusively for them to achieve the very best outcome for their client.
Here are 6 ways a buyer’s advocate can work with you to find the right home:
- Buyer’s advocates can help you find the type of home you want by providing you with a shortlist of properties.
- They can arrange private inspections for the properties you are keen on viewing.
- Buyer’s advocates can communicate and deal with your nominated solicitor, finance provider, building and pest inspector. They can also attend final inspections.
- They can prepare and present the offer on your behalf to the real estate agent.
- Known as “off market” sales or “secret sales”, a buyer’s advocate has access to these properties and is able to assist their clients in the purchase of these properties without the general public ever knowing that they are available to inspect and buy.
- A buyer’s advocate can also bid at auction on your behalf.
