As professional property buyers, we understand that a home is a very personal choice and not all your criteria can be explained by logic \u2013 it must feel right too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size has-custom-font has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.3;font-family:Open Sans\">So we work with not only what we call \u2018hard criteria\u2019 such as the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, the suburb you\u2019d like to live in, and so on, but also \u2018soft criteria\u2019 that include quality, style, spaciousness, street appeal and the like, that can also influence a final decision for those looking to buy a house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size has-custom-font has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.3;font-family:Open Sans\">To assist with the process, we may ask you to send us examples of homes you like the look of so we can get a clear idea of what feels right for you. At the same time, we want to ensure your home stacks up as a great investment so you can benefit from good capital growth should you wish to sell your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size has-custom-font has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.3;font-family:Open Sans\">By acting as an independent property buyer and holding steadfast to a set of agreed criteria, we effectively remove the possibility of making a wrong decision based on impulse or sheer frustration and which you might regret down the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size has-custom-font has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.3;font-family:Open Sans\">Instead, we\u2019re applying the unrivaled knowledge that we\u2019ve accumulated over the years to give clients a decided advantage at all stages of the buying process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/www.realestatebuyersagent.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/florian-schmidinger-b_79nOqf95I-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.realestatebuyersagent.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/florian-schmidinger-b_79nOqf95I-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.realestatebuyersagent.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/florian-schmidinger-b_79nOqf95I-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.realestatebuyersagent.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/florian-schmidinger-b_79nOqf95I-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.realestatebuyersagent.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/florian-schmidinger-b_79nOqf95I-unsplash-750x499.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.realestatebuyersagent.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/florian-schmidinger-b_79nOqf95I-unsplash.jpg 1417w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size has-custom-font\" style=\"font-size:18px;font-family:Raleway\"><strong>THE PROCESS&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size has-custom-font has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.3;font-family:Open Sans\"><strong>Step 1 \u2013 We establish your requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size has-custom-font has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.3;font-family:Open Sans\">During our initial, free consultation we\u2019ll discuss the type of property, the choice of suburb and any other pertinent considerations you may have such as proximity to schools, shopping, transport, leisure activities and infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size has-custom-font has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.3;font-family:Open Sans\"><strong>Step 2 \u2013 Property search<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size has-custom-font has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.3;font-family:Open Sans\">Once you give us the go-ahead, we\u2019ll commence a comprehensive search of properties available for sale within your agreed criteria. Not only do we have access to every listed property available, our networking skills enable us to find many \u201csilent sales\u201d before they come on the market, which often represent exceptional value for money and huge capital growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size has-custom-font has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.3;font-family:Open Sans\">During this phase we get to know exactly what you like and don\u2019t like, because this is your home and not just an investment property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size has-custom-font has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.3;font-family:Open Sans\"><strong>Step 3 \u2013 A shortlist<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size has-custom-font has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.3;font-family:Open Sans\">We then investigate a \u2018shortlist\u2019 of properties on your behalf and prioritise the best candidates. When we view a property we take many digital photos to send you that show the good and the bad so you can get a real feel for the property. This step saves time and money as we guide you through the selection process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size has-custom-font\" style=\"font-size:18px;font-family:Open Sans\"><strong>Step 4 \u2013 Due Diligence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size has-custom-font has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.3;font-family:Open Sans\">This is where our experience really comes into play. If you are keen to proceed, we evaluate and assess the property in more detail. We look for \u2018potential problems\u2019 or expenses to factor in. We also include a range of protective conditions in the Contract of Sale that are in your favour, not the seller\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size has-custom-font\" style=\"font-size:18px;font-family:Open Sans\"><strong>Step 5 \u2013 Accurate Pricing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size has-custom-font has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.3;font-family:Open Sans\">We obtain up-to-date information about the property as well as comparable sales data to assist in assessing its true worth, which ensures you\u2019ll never pay too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size has-custom-font\" style=\"font-size:18px;font-family:Open Sans\"><strong>Step 6 <strong>\u2013<\/strong> Acquisition Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size has-custom-font has-custom-lineheight\" style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.3;font-family:Open Sans\">Now we\u2019re getting to the pointy end of the process. Once you\u2019re happy this is the right property plus we\u2019re convinced it ticks all the boxes for your home buying strategy and it\u2019s at an attractive price point to begin with, we negotiate with the agent on your behalf, using all our legal tricks of the trade, to ensure that you obtain the property for the lowest possible price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our methodical, step-by-step approach to buying a house has proven to be hugely successful for our clients.
