Question 1

What is a Buyers Agent/Advocate?

Accepted Answer

Put simply, a buyer’s agent is a licensed professional who represents you—the buyer—throughout the property purchase. From finding the right home or investment to negotiating and managing due diligence, they use their market expertise to ensure a smooth, informed, and cost-effective buying experience.

Question 2

What are the benefits of using a Buyers Agent?

Accepted Answer

In short, a buyer’s agent provides peace of mind and makes the property-buying process as smooth and stress-free as possible. How?

Expertise – With deep market knowledge, agent networks, and negotiation skills, a buyer’s agent helps you make smart, informed decisions.

Time-Saving – We handle the legwork—research, inspections, and coordination—so you don’t have to.

Objectivity – We keep emotions in check and focus on facts, especially during due diligence, ensuring logic leads the decision.

Cost Savings – Beyond price negotiation, we secure favourable terms that can significantly reduce your overall costs.

Property Access – Gain access to pre-market, off-market, and agent-only listings that most buyers never see.

Question 3

How is a BA different to a Real Estate Agent?

Accepted Answer

A real estate selling agent is appointed by the seller, with one clear goal: to achieve the highest possible price for their client.

As buyer’s agents, we work exclusively for you, the buyer. Our role is to protect your interests, find the right property, negotiate the best possible price, and secure favourable terms.
When there’s a professional working for the seller, it only makes sense to have one working for you, too.

Question 4

Question 5

What fees does a Buyers Agent charge?

Accepted Answer

Buyer’s agent fees vary depending on the level of service, property type, and complexity of your brief. Most fall between 1% and 3% of the purchase price, though fixed fees can also be offered to suit your budget and needs.
​
While there is an upfront cost, many clients find the value far exceeds the fee, through time saved, stress reduced, and better purchase outcomes.

At Acquired, we begin with a complimentary 15-minute call to understand your goals and explain how we can best support you.

Question 6

How do I know hiring a Buyers Agent is worth it?

Accepted Answer

Buyer's agents are licensed professionals who represent property buyers throughout the purchasing process. They assist in sourcing suitable properties, conducting thorough due diligence, assessing value, negotiating effectively, securing the property, and supporting clients through to settlement. 
​
If you're time-poor, located interstate, new to Brisbane, a first-home buyer, or uncertain about the market, the risk of overpaying or overlooking critical details increases. Engaging a local buyer's agent can help mitigate these risks, potentially saving you significant time and money
