Melbourne’s most experienced buyer’s agents

Of course this depends on your own skills, knowledge and experience.

Most Australians only transact a property 3 or 4 times in their life. The team at Metropole buyer’s agent buy hundreds of properties every year.

This has given us the type of knowledge money can't buy meaning the expertise a professional buyer’s agent offers is well worth the investment – it's basically investing in your peace of mind - whether it's your first purchase or you already own a number of properties.

Apart from having access to properties that may not be available on the open market, buyers can benefit from Metropole's expertise in guiding them through the complicated process of home buying, handling negotiations, and reviewing relevant documents, saving time, stress and money in the long run.

The fees a buyer’s agent charges can be quite diverse based on the property's location, the extent of services provided, and the expertise of the agent. Some buyer’s agents charge a fixed rate, while others take their fee as a percentage of the purchase price.

In Melbourne, buyer’s agents usually charge between 1.5% and 3% of the cost of the property. Hence buyer agency fees in Melbourne can vary significantly, based on the property price as well as the percentage charged by the buyers advocate.

At Metropole, we believe that those looking to purchase property will be more likely to save money when they use the buyer’s advocate service. Though they will have to pay a fee, they will be provided with our extensive years of experience and specialist knowledge, extending an advantage to them that others don't have.

Many less experienced agents often charge a fixed fee as they are poor negotiators, but wouldn't you want an agent who is an excellent negotiator in your corner?

The primary distinction between a buyer’s and a seller’s agent lies in who they represent.

Buyer’s agents are dedicated to assisting the buyer purchase their property with minimal stress, whereas the selling agent serves the vendor, helping them to obtain the highest price for their property.

A buyer’s agent usually provides assistance to the buyer in locating a property, checking the contract making a recommendation including what price to pay, negotiating on their client's behalf, and buying the property. Meanwhile, a seller’s agent assists the seller to advertise and sell the property, set up the listing price, and negotiate with buyers.
