Episode notes
INSIGHT

Buying Agents Represent Buyers

  • Buying agents represent the interests of property buyers, unlike estate agents who represent sellers.
  • People often buy property without representation, although it is one of their largest financial commitments.
INSIGHT

Unrepresented Buyers Face Disadvantage

  • Buyers usually face estate agents who work to get the highest price for sellers without any buyer representation.
  • This creates an unfair dynamic where experienced sellers' agents oppose unrepresented buyers.
ADVICE

Get Organized Before Buying

  • A buying agent helps create a clear brief, organizes financial and legal support, and ensures you’re ready before searching properties.
  • This preparation prevents losing out to more organized buyers in a competitive market.
