FAQBuyers agent questions, answered
What does a buyers agent do?+
A buyers agent, also called a buyers advocate, is a licensed estate agent who works only for the buyer. They set the strategy, research where to buy, find and check property, and negotiate the price and terms for you.
Is a buyers agent worth it for investors?+
It usually is when you are buying interstate, short on time, or want access to property before it is advertised. Most of the client properties on our results page were bought off market or pre market.
Where does Citadel Agency buy investment property?+
Across Australia. Most of our purchases are in regional and outer metro markets in Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania, Western Australia and New South Wales, chosen on rents, supply and infrastructure.
What is the difference between a buyers agent and a real estate agent?+
A real estate agent is paid by the seller to get the highest price. A buyers agent is paid by you and works to get you the right property at the right price.
How much does a buyers agent cost?+
Fees vary between agencies and are not set by law. Ours is agreed in writing after a strategy call, before you sign anything.
