90 – How buyers agents can source development sites

Finding profitable development sites is a core responsibility for a property developer but increased competition in a hot market can make it very challenging at times. While most property is sold on the open market and found through popular sites such as realestate.com.au, plenty of transactions happen off market facilitated by people like buyers agents. A buyers agent acts on behalf of a buyer and leverages their network of agents and contacts to find properties that meet the brief of their clients. They can often find multiple opportunities that might be difficult for others to access. In this episode I speak with buyers agent Jordan Navybox about his work helping developers acquire development sites. I have always sourced my own sites, and never really entertained the idea of engaging someone to search on my behalf, but I can see how valuable it can be for someone to seek out and bring you the type of sites you are looking for, freeing you up to focus on other value producing activities. In this conversation we cover how a buyers agent differs from a regular agent, where they provide value and when you should think of engaging one. I think you will find this an interesting conversation and maybe using a buyers agent to source your sites might become your primary acquisition strategy.
