In-depth property and market research
We get right to work researching properties throughout Adelaide, comparing key features, prices, and market trends. Our detailed insights into your preferred suburbs will help you find the ideal area that matches your lifestyle or investment goals.
Access to off-market properties
By tapping into our extensive network of sellers in Adelaide, we can give you access to off-market properties, providing you with options that aren’t publicly listed. This means less competition for you, which can result in lower prices and more room for negotiation.
Property inspections
Our expert buyer’s agents in Adelaide can schedule private property inspections at times that fit your schedule. We can also attend public inspections and auctions on your behalf, leveraging our experience to bid strategically and secure a good price.
Negotiation and bidding
As part of our process, our buyer’s agents will typically check comparable sales in the areas you’re interested in to determine the true value of a property — rather than relying solely on what the seller or their agent claims. They will then handle property negotiations and sales contracts on your behalf.

How to choose the best buyer’s agent in Adelaide
You need an expert on the Adelaide property market
Choose a buyer's agent who knows Adelaide and the specific areas you're interested in. They should have in-depth knowledge of property values, market trends and neighbourhood dynamics in your desired suburbs. A helpful question to ask a buyer’s agent about their understanding of Greater Adelaide could be: "What are the property market trends and recent sales activity in the suburbs I'm interested in?"
They should have experience & a strong track record
Look for a buyer’s agent with a proven history of successful property acquisitions across different buyer demographics, including first-home buyers, investors, downsizers, etc. This will generally be someone who’s been involved in the Adelaide property market for several years and has an extensive network for securing off-market properties.
Check the reviews of the Adelaide buyer's agent
Looking at customer reviews can give you a good indication of a buyer’s agent’s credibility and service quality. Ideally, they should have testimonials from previous clients on their website. If not, you could request references from clients they've worked with in the past year. Additionally, you could check out Facebook property groups in Adelaide for any mentions of their name and/or business in the comments section.
They should be transparent about how (and how much) they get paid
Your buyer's agent should be transparent about their commissions and pricing structure. They should cover fees and payables after your initial consultation or discovery call. This can help you budget accordingly. Ideally, you want a buyer's agent in Adelaide who's responsive from your initial contact and maintains transparent communication throughout the research and buying journey.

FAQs about using a buyer's agent in Adelaide
How much does a buyer’s agent cost in Adelaide?
Buyer’s agents in Adelaide typically charge fees ranging from 2-3% of the property’s purchase price, plus GST, according to the REBAA. Many agents also require a fixed engagement fee or retainer.
Fees can vary based on the agent’s experience and demand. Established agents with a strong track record in Adelaide’s competitive market may charge higher rates.
For property investors, it’s important to note that buyer’s agent fees may be deductible as part of the cost base when acquiring an asset, potentially reducing your capital gains tax (CGT) liability upon selling, as outlined by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
How can you access off-market properties in Adelaide and what are the benefits?
At Buyers Agent, we leverage our vast network of real estate agents in Adelaide to assist clients in securing off-market properties. Off-market transactions can benefit both buyers and sellers, often resulting in quicker sales and lower costs, such as advertising and auctioneer fees. However, finding these hidden opportunities can be difficult without the insider access that a buyer’s agent offers.
Buying a pre-market or off-market property can save you money for several reasons:
- these properties have fewer potential buyers (as they’re not publicly advertised), which gives you a chance to negotiate a fair price, minimising the risk of competing offers driving up the cost
- some sellers prefer a quick sale, and to avoid protracted price negotiations, meaning they’re likely to consider any reasonable offer instead of waiting for better ones
- sellers won’t have to pay advertising fees, so some of these savings can be passed on to you
How long does it take a buyer’s agent to find me a property?
Each client brief is unique and comes with varying degrees of complexity. If a buyer has pre-approval for financing, the process typically takes about 2-3 months. Cash buyers can benefit from an even quicker turnaround. However, if a buyer needs to sell their current property before making a purchase, the timeline may take longer.
What qualifications do Adelaide buyer’s agents need?
To become a buyer’s agent in Adelaide and South Australia, you must complete a Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice (CPP41419), which includes the core five modules of the course. Following that, you need to gain at least 12 months of full-time work experience. If you plan to operate your own business as a buyer’s agent, you will also need to complete a Diploma of Property (Agency Management) (CPP51122).
