The benefits of a buyers advocate ...

The full service sees them search out properties meeting their clients criteria and also negotiate the purchase of the property ultimately chosen, whether by private sale or auction. Buyers may also engage buyers agents purely to bid for them at the auction of a house they have found for themselves... Buyers agents specialise in searching out, locating and negotiating the purchase of property on behalf of the buyer. Buyers agents (or advocates) appeared on the Australian real estate scene less than five years ago, but already they have caused a stir. More and more consumers are enlisting the services of buyers advocates to help them find and purchase their dream home or investment property. Buyers advocates generally offer two types of services. The full service sees them search out properties meeting their clients criteria and also negotiate the purchase of the property ultimately chosen, whether by private sale or auction.

Buyers may also engage buyers agents purely to bid for them at the auction of a house they have found for themselves. Several buyers agents charge an engagement fee before they begin the search for a home. Users of the full service can expect to pay a flat fee or a percentage of the property purchase price. Using a buyers agent to bid at auction, meanwhile, carries a much lower fee. Investors should note that the cost of using a buyers advocate is tax-deductible when purchasing an investment property. Unfortunately, for the owner-occupier, no such tax break exists. Why then are many prospective owner-occupiers willing to hand over this money to a buyers advocate? For some it is the time saving on offer. Having the advocate search out ideal home keeps many buyers weekends free from scouring through newspapers, meeting with agents and attending inspections. To many people, however, the main advantage to using a buyers advocate is that they are spared the chore of bidding for themselves at auction. Buyers advocates understand implicitly the bidding process and bring to auctions the confidence, emotional detachment and tactics necessary for a successful bid. Buyers advocates also claim to be able to save their clients money by netting them a purchase price often below that which they are willing to pay, while saving people precious time and emotional distress. It is little wonder they are becoming increasingly popular.
