What is a Property Buyers Agent?
Ultimately, a Property Buyers Agent is a licenced professional that can navigate the property industry with you, or for you, to alleviate the stress of a process that may feel overwhelming, or bring professional expertise to an area that you are already passionate about.

A Buyers Agent boasts expert market insights and personal relationships with key industry leaders to unify and simplify the buying process, while creating a seamless journey when purchasing a property. Independent & qualified to purchase on your behalf, Mitch Keen, Founder and Director of Keen Acquisitions, poses the question, “Sales agents are trained professionals in negotiation for the vendor, so why wouldn't you have a professional Buyers Agent working for you and protecting your interests?”
Why Do I Need a Property Buyers Agent?
There are many benefits of engaging with a Property Buyers Agent, but the biggest bonus is the insight of upcoming properties off market, providing access to exclusive networks and hidden opportunities unavailable to the general public, plus specialised negotiation skills avoiding overpayment. Keen adds, “As a Sydney native, we have strong relationships with top agents across NSW, both on the Central Coast and in Sydney. We only work with a limited number of clients, allowing us to provide personalised attention and strong communication from the very beginning, until well after settlement.” You can find services offered by Keen Acquisitions here.
Why Can’t I Just Use a Real Estate Agent?
There is one major difference between a Real Estate Agent and a Property Buyers Agent. The Buyers Agent works for the buyer and the Real Estate Agent works for the seller. It’s an easy misconception that the real estate agent is benefitting both sides, where in fact, they are always looking for the best deal for the seller, while your Buyers Agent is always striving to save you the most money and secure you the best deal. If you want someone on your side from start to finish, a Buyers Agent is a must.

How Much Does a Buyers Agent Cost?
By now, you might be wondering about a Buyers Agent fee and how long the process is expected to be. Keen explains, “We have set fees, so nothing changes when negotiating for your ideal property. A small upfront retainer is required to lock in your spot. Once paid, we won't take on another buyer in a similar location and budget until we secure a property for you. This retainer is deducted from the final invoice due at settlement. We typically buy within 8-10 weeks, on average, however, the agreement is for six months, which we may extend, as our priority is to ensure you find the right property.”
Thanks to the benefits of a Buyers Agent, you will save more than the cost of the fee in the purchase. Book a free Discovery Session with Keen Acquisitions today for an obligation-free chat.
