What does a buyers agent do?

A buyers agent, or buyers advocate, is a licensed estate agent who acts only for the buyer. For investors, that means a team that works out where to buy, finds the property (often before it's advertised), checks it properly and negotiates the price, so you're never up against the selling agent alone.

OUR DATA-DRIVEN APPROACH

Built on data, not guesswork

Every purchase starts with research, not a hunch. Our research team scores markets and suburbs on the numbers before we look at a single property, so every recommendation we make can be explained. We analyse:

  • Suburb-level growth trends across Australia
  • Rental demand, vacancy rates and tenant behaviour
  • Infrastructure projects and future development plans
  • Supply pipelines and market timing indicators
  • Risk factors that could affect long-term performance

FAQ

Buyers 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.

How do I get started?

Book a strategy call. We look at your budget, borrowing and goals and tell you honestly whether we can help.
