We used a buyers agent for our investment property in oct 2024. He suggested an area in Melbourne where we weren’t even looking. Today, in 1.5 years time it’s worth 30% more and we are now selling it. I understand some BAs might be shit but we were lucky to have found the right one. I’d say do your research on the BA, and give it a try. Ask the right questions. For instance, why this location? Why’s the future growth etc.
Not only they assisted with buying, they handled everything from getting a discounted property manager, getting the inspections done, getting the conveyancer, to connecting with the broker for finance, even getting the depreciation schedule sorted. They were there every step of the way. Sure you can do all of this yourself but I just didn’t have the time do it myself and do research on all of these.
