Industry-leading investigation approachProtecting you from risks, costs and liability
You’ll understand what to offer, after we analyse:
We capture detailed photos and video of the property as part of our Due Diligence process. This is particularly useful for remote buyers, but is still relevant if you’ll be attending open inspections yourself:
Our fee is the same regardless of what you spend on a property. We’ll negotiate the best deal for you, because our fee isn’t connected to what you spend.
If you pay a Buyers Agent a percentage, then they earn more when you spend more, which creates a conflict of interest.
Everyone’s property journey is different because buyers each have a unique mix of skills, time, energy and appetite for risk. We offer a range of options to support you how and when you most need it:
Hiring a Buyers Agent is a good investment for most buyers in both a ‘cool’ and ‘hot’ property market. Here’s just a few reasons why.
In a hot market (good for sellers), a Buyer's Agent:
In a cool market (good for buyers), a Buyers Agent:
At Navigate Buyers Agency, we separate our services into the four stages of buying:
If you love searching for property, or have already found a property you want to buy, then you can engage us only for the Investigate and Negotiate service.
If you don’t want us to investigate the property with our due diligence process, then you can just hire us for the Negotiate stage, where we will conduct Private Treaty negotiations or bid at Auction on your behalf.
If you’re just starting or don’t have any particular property you’re ready to buy, then you may like to consider our full service, which includes all four stages. This is the highest level of support, where we handle every step of the process from search to settlement.
Yes, we can. At Navigate, we separate our services into the four stages of buying:
If you have already found a property you want to buy, then you can engage us only for the Investigate and Negotiate service.
In South Australia, a Buyer's Agent, otherwise known as a Buyer's Advocate, needs to be a qualified and licensed property professional with Consumer and Business Services. They must hold an active Land Agent or Sales Representative registration to provide services and enter into a Buyers Agency Agreement with a client.
Additionally, they may be members of the Real Estate Institute of South Australia, or the Real Estate Buyers Agents Association of Australia (REBAA).
Note, that the importance of ‘independence’ is so highly valued by the REBAA, that it requires that Buyer's Agent members do not sell property. For example, a Sales Agent selling property, who also wants to service buyers as a Buyer's Agent, would not be able to hold membership with the REBAA.
A Buyer's Agent must be licenced in the state they are purchasing property in.
No.
Like all professional services, there can be substantial and important differences between suppliers that clients should consider, such as:
At Navigate, we provide a range of affordable services for DIY buyers, where we act as your co-pilot. This can save you $10,000+, whilst still giving you the benefit of a Buyer's Agent at your side.
You need to consider if there is a vested interest. Why would someone work for you for free?
Usually, a ‘free buyers agent’ is a selling agent in disguise. They are being paid by a seller, a developer or someone else. This is the opposite of independent advice. They clearly have a vested interest or conflict of interest, and by nature, can’t provide unbiased advice to you, the buyer.
Services like this commonly connect you only to properties they are selling and might convince you to buy at inflated prices.
Taking advice from a ‘Buyers Agent’ who works for a Sales Office is comparable to having the same lawyer represent both plaintiff and defendant.
If you’re not paying for the advice, that person doesn’t have your best interests at heart (and the law does not require them to).
The fee only changes during the service period if:
For example, you might start by hiring us as your 'Purchase Consultant', and then decide to add the optional 'Investigate' service for a specific property you're in the cooling off period for.
If you upgrade from the 'Purchase Consultant' service to the 'Complete Property Purchase' service, then you only pay the upgrade fee.
Payments made for 'Investigate' or 'Negotiate' individual services are one-off, and can't be applied to other services.
We sure can! This is part of our Negotiate service.
In South Australia, we can attend and bid for you at Auction as your Proxy Bidder, regardless of whether you are physically present or not. We can sign the contract of sale for you, and assist you with finalising what’s required on auction day if you’re the successful bidder.
A lot of preparation work is completed prior to bidding for you at Auction and is part of our Search or Investigate services. Buying at Auction requires advanced planning and property evaluations in order to reduce risk, ensure a smooth process and obtain a great outcome.
If you’re hiring us just for our Negotiate service, we’ll work to your specific requirements, such as a walk-away price.
