We handle all aspects of the purchase process, from negotiation to property management advice, ensuring your investment strategy is executed to its fullest potential. Private buyers

How to choose the best buyer’s agent in Brisbane
They should be an expert on Brisbane’s property market
Choose a buyer's agent who knows Brisbane and the specific areas you're interested in inside and out. For instance, a buyer’s agent specialising in the south Brisbane corridor will have better knowledge of different neighbourhoods and will, therefore, be more efficient at sourcing properties that match your criteria than someone with less specialised knowledge of that area.
They should have experience & a good track record
Look for a buyer’s agent with runs on the board (successful sales) in the Brisbane market. This will generally be someone who’s been working or engaged in some capacity in the real estate industry for 5-10 years. Although technology can supply all the sales data a buyer’s agent needs, only experience gained over time can offer insights into market dynamics and emerging trends.
Check Brisbane buyer's agent reviews
Research the buyer’s advocate or their business online and check out their customer reviews. Consistent positive feedback should be a reliable indicator of their honest and professional service. You can also play internet sleuth on Facebook property groups in Brisbane for any mentions of their name and/or business. Alternatively, you can shop closer to home and get recommendations from people you know who have used a buyer’s agent in Brisbane.
They should be transparent about how (and how much) they get paid
Your buyer’s agent should disclose all their commissions/fees upfront when it becomes clear you may engage their services. Be sure to ask if they receive other incentives or commissions from the sale of a property (e.g. a commission from a developer). If they accept sales commissions from vendors or developers, they cannot be classified as 'independent', according to the Real Estate Buyers Agents Association of Australia (REBAA).
How to use a buyer’s agent in Brisbane
Initial consultation: This can happen in person, but is often completed online. Your buyer’s agent will ask questions to get an understanding of what you need and will explain their process.
Agent research: Our team of expert buyer’s agents will conduct research into potential purchase options and reach out to our extensive network of sellers to find off-market opportunities.
We present our findings: Depending on where in the buyer’s journey you’re at, we’ll either present properties in Brisbane that match your needs, or offer a higher-level overview of suburbs and property types for consideration.
Purchase negotiation: Once we’ve found the ideal property, we’ll negotiate the purchase. That could involve an off-market or pre-auction negotiation with the vendor, or bidding for you at auction.
Due diligence and settlement: With your purchase secured, we’ll coordinate remaining due diligence on the property and ensure the process runs smoothly all the way through to settlement.

FAQs about using a Brisbane buyer’s agent
What does it cost to use a Brisbane buyer’s agent?
The average fee for Brisbane-based buyer's agents can range between 2-3% of the property's purchase price (+ GST), according to the REBAA. Most buyer's agents also charge a fixed service fee ranging from $1,000 - $10,000. This fee is generally non-refundable.
Buyer's agent fees will depend on the level of service you require and their expertise. Naturally, a buyer's agent in Brisbane with strong sales behind them may charge higher fees. Additionally, their rates may increase if you require their help at auctions.
If you're a property investor, you may be able to claim buyer’s agent fees as part of the cost base (a capital expense you incur when buying an asset) to reduce your capital gains tax (CGT) payable when you sell the property, according to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
How can you access off-market properties in Brisbane?
Buyers Agent leverages its network of real estate agents in Brisbane to secure off-market properties for clients. It’s often mutually beneficial for Brisbane buyers and sellers to complete property transactions off-market as it can mean a faster sale, with lower costs (advertising, auctioneer fees etc.). However, without the inside access a buyer’s agent can offer, finding off-market properties in Brisbane is difficult.
How long does it take a buyer’s agent to find me a property?
Every client brief will be slightly different, with some being more straightforward than others. If the buyer has finance pre-approval, the entire process can take 2-3 months. Naturally, the process will be quicker for cash buyers. It may take longer in other cases or if other factors are at play (for example, the buyer needs to sell their property first).
What qualifications do Brisbane buyer’s agents need?
There are no formal qualification requirements for buyer’s agents in Brisbane. However, according to the Buyer’s Agent Institute, buyer’s agents in Queensland should have completed at least five core modules of Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice (CPP41419), in addition to having a Real Estate Licence (issued by the Office of Fair Trading).
To operate your own business as a buyer’s agent in Brisbane, you must complete a Diploma of Property (Agency Management) (CPP51122).
