How to choose the best buyer’s agent on the Gold Coast
They need a deep understanding of the Gold Coast property market
Choose a buyer's agent who knows the Gold Coast inside and out. For example, a local expert familiar with the northern Gold Coast will be more effective at finding properties that match your needs if you’re looking in suburbs like Southport or Nerang.
They should have experience & a good track record
Look for a buyer’s agent with a proven history of successful transactions in the Gold Coast market. Ideally, this should be someone who has been actively involved in the local real estate scene for several years and understands market dynamics, emerging trends, and investment opportunities.
Check Gold Coast buyer's agent reviews
Check the reputation of your buyer’s agent by looking at testimonials and customer reviews. A quick Google search or a visit to their website can provide valuable insights. You can also explore local Facebook property groups on the Gold Coast for mentions of their name and business. Consistent positive feedback is a strong indicator of reliable and professional service.
They should be transparent about how (and how much) they get paid
Your agent should be open about their commission and fees, and clarify whether they’re receiving any additional incentives or kickbacks from the sale of a property, such as commissions from developers. If they accept commissions from vendors or developers, they cannot be considered 'independent,' according to the Real Estate Buyers Agents Association of Australia (REBAA).

FAQs about using a Gold Coast buyer’s agent
How much does a buyer’s agent cost on the Gold Coast?
According to the REBAA, the industry average fee for buyer’s agents on the Gold Coast typically ranges from 2-3% of the property’s purchase price, plus GST. Most buyer’s agents also charge a fixed engagement fee, often referred to as a retainer.
The fees can vary based on the agent’s experience and demand. Established buyer’s agents with a strong track record in the Gold Coast market tend to be in higher demand and may charge more for their services.
If you’re a property investor, you might be able to claim buyer’s agent fees as part of the cost base (a capital expense incurred when purchasing an asset), potentially reducing your capital gains tax (CGT) liability when you sell the property, according to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
How can you access off-market properties on the Gold Coast?
At Buyers Agent, we tap into a robust network of real estate agents on the Gold Coast to help clients secure off-market properties. Completing transactions off-market can be beneficial for both buyers and sellers, often leading to quicker sales and reduced costs, such as advertising and auctioneer fees. However, locating these hidden gems can be challenging without the insider access that a buyer’s agent provides.
How long does it take a buyer’s agent to find me a property?
Every client situation is unique, with varying levels of complexity. If a buyer has finance pre-approval, the process typically takes about 2-3 months. Cash buyers often enjoy a quicker turnaround. However, other circumstances, such as needing to sell a property first, can extend the timeline.
What qualifications do Gold Coast buyer’s agents need?
There are no formal qualification requirements for buyer’s agents on the Gold Coast. However, the Buyer’s Agent Institute recommends that agents in Queensland complete at least five core modules of the Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice (CPP41419) and obtain a Real Estate Licence from the Office of Fair Trading.
If you’re interested in running your own business as a Gold Coast buyer’s agent, you’ll also need to complete a Diploma of Property (Agency Management) (CPP51122).
