Buyer's agent FAQs

What does a buyer's agent do?

A buyer's agent is a licensed real estate agent who acts only for the buyer in a purchase, not the seller. We search on and off the market, and our team inspects properties in person, filming a walkthrough video for clients who can't be there. Before you commit, we prepare a due diligence report: like-for-like comparable sales, zoning and R-codes, flood and bushfire maps, the suburb, schools, transport and amenities, the property's pros, cons and maintenance points, and our own price range, using data from sources such as Cotality (RP Data) and REIWA. We then negotiate the price and terms, arrange pest and building inspections, and support you through to settlement and the final inspection.

Is a buyer's agent worth it in Perth?

For most buyers, yes, because a buyer's agent solves the problems that cost buyers the most. Not sure where to buy? We compare suburbs and properties against your goals, strategy and budget. Worried about overpaying? We price every property against like-for-like comparable sales and local knowledge. Missing out? Our agent network gives you off-market as well as on-market opportunities (42–46% of our 2025/26 purchases were off-market). Costly surprises? Our due diligence finds the risks before you commit. We inspect and shortlist for you, with videos and reports wherever you are in the world, and guide you from search to settlement with regular updates, so your purchase keeps moving while you focus on work and family.

How much does a buyer's agent cost?

You pay a commitment fee to start, and a Success Fee (a percentage of the purchase price) once you've bought, with the commitment fee deducted from it. Your exact fee is explained in your free Discovery Meeting.

What if you don't find me a property?

The You&Me Guarantee: if we haven't presented properties that fit your brief within 1 month, your fee is reduced by 20%; within 3 months, you pay no fee and we keep working for you. It applies to residential purchases. We've never had to use it, and we're confident we won't.

Which areas do you cover?

We buy across the whole Perth metro area and regional Western Australia, with offices in Perth (Subiaco), Brisbane and Melbourne. We also help interstate, FIFO, expat and international buyers purchase in WA.

Who will I deal with?

You deal directly with our founders, Heath Bassett and Simon Deering, who bring 48+ years of combined real estate experience.

How do I choose the best buyer's agent in Perth?

There's no official ranking, so check five things. They should act only for you in your purchase, not the seller. They should have a track record you can see: You&Me has bought more than 500 properties worth over $500 million. Check their reviews: we're rated 5.0 on Google. Ask who you'll actually deal with: at You&Me it's the directors, Heath Bassett and Simon Deering, with 48+ years of combined experience. And look for a guarantee in writing, like the You&Me Guarantee on residential purchases. Also ask how they find off-market properties and what due diligence they do before you commit.

Can you buy for me if I live interstate or overseas?

Yes. Many of our clients live interstate or overseas, and plenty buy without ever visiting the property, because they rely on our due diligence. We inspect properties in person for you, film walkthrough videos with commentary, send you a due diligence report, and handle the negotiation, contracts, building and pest inspections and settlement, so you can buy in WA without flying in. Meetings are online via Teams or in person, and we regularly help interstate, FIFO, expat and international buyers.

Buying a property in Australia all the way from the Netherlands was daunting, but working with Simon Deering made the entire process completely stress-free. Simon took the time to truly understand what we were looking for in the Bunbury area and guided us through every single step. His sharp negotiation skills kept us from overpaying and ensured we stayed well within our budget. ​What really sets Simon apart is that his support didn't end at settlement. He has continued to go above and beyond by coordinating with local tradespeople and keeping a close eye on the property until we make our final move and have the keys in hand. We couldn't have done this without him. If you're looking for a dedicated, trustworthy buyer's agent (especially as an overseas buyer), we cannot recommend Simon highly enough!

Firstly reviews should never be asked for, let alone keep pressuring someone to leave one.... However they did do an excellent job that I could not faut living up to all promises, I would defiantly use you & me again and recommend them to anyone looking for something particular.

Every now and again you get to work with people who deliver on a promise and operate with absolute integrity… Gus is one of the good ones. It was a pleasure working with Gus to achieve a great result. If you’re thinking of selling make sure you give “No Fuss Gus” a call

Highly recommend Simon and Heath! Being based on the East Coast, I was worried about managing a interstate purchase, but the guys made the entire process completely seamless from the other side of the country. They secured a fantastic price for me on a private sale property, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome

Heath was great to work with during the sale of one of our residential property listings that he introduced his buyer to. The buyers brief was quite unique & needed to accomodate generational living & have high access storage solutions. During the sale to settlement process communication was excellant & I look forward to working with Heath in the future. Annette at Aqwasun Estate Agents

Heath's energy and enthusiasm are his superpower! From our very first chat, he made buying my first home feel exciting rather than daunting, and that energy never dropped off throughout the whole process. Heath kept me in the loop with every new opportunity and development, and made me feel like a priority, even with how much he juggles. He always had time to send a quick voicenote or give me a call (and maybe call a second time to catch me when I'd missed the first...) That energy and attention translated into results. He tracked down an off-market property for me, priced below market value, that I never would have found on my own, and had the whole thing wrapped up in around 4 months. What really stuck with me is that Heath listens, and then actually follows through. He told me in our first meeting that he loves winning for his clients and now post-settlement, I can see he really meant it. He was there every step of the way, through inspections, negotiations, and all the way to settlement, making sure I always felt supported and never out of my depth. My only bit of constructive feedback relates to the video walkthroughs handled by another member of the You&Me team. While Heath focused on a property's underlying potential, the walkthroughs tended to prioritise cosmetic problems, like paintwork or state of the garden, which weren't a huge concern for me as a first home buyer. That said, being able to skip attending home opens myself was such a win, especially as someone with little time to spare for property viewings. Overall I'd highly recommend Heath and his team to to anyone looking for someone who actually cares about getting it right :D

We couldn’t recommend You & Me Property Services enough! This was our first time purchasing an interstate investment property, so we knew we needed the right people around us to help navigate the process. From the very beginning, Simon and Ish went above and beyond to ensure everything was taken care of, keeping us informed and supported every step of the way. Buying a property can be a stressful experience, especially from a distance, but they made the entire process feel incredibly smooth and stress-free. Their guidance, communication and reassurance gave us complete confidence that we were in good hands. A special thank you to Simon for all the pep talks along the way. There were definitely moments where we felt nervous, but you always took the time to reassure us, answer our questions and give us the confidence to keep moving forward. Thank you also to Ish for all your support throughout the journey. You were always approachable, responsive and willing to help with every update and question, and we really appreciated the care you put into making sure everything was handled. We’re so grateful for everything you’ve both done to help us reach this milestone. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better team to guide us through our first interstate purchase. – Ari & Jessin

My hubby and I discovered You&Me by chance and we're so happy we did!! After navigating buying a home in this competitive market between January and March 2026, travelling backwards and forwards each weekend viewing homes and placing offers on potential properties with no luck, we contacted You&Me Personalised Property Services and were put in touch with Heath Bassett (one of the Directors). From the moment we met Heath in our first 'discovery' meeting we knew he was the man for the job! He thoroughly delved into exactly what we were looking for in a home and his communication and work he put into finding us the right one was second to none. Not only did he secure us our dream home in a short space of time, but the price also negotiated was very much in our favour. We can't thank Heath enough and are truly grateful for his commitment and dedication, very personalised service and time he engaged to the mission!! Everything was handled by him including building/termite inspections and the settlement procedure we just sat back while he did all of the work for us. We thoroughly recommend Heath and his team if you are in the market for the best buyer's agent in Perth who will undoubtedly find you your next home without the stress of searching yourself - 11/10 stars!!

At You&Me Personalised Property Services, our mission is to be Australia's most trusted buyer's agency, delivering exceptional outcomes for property buyers across Australia’s major cities.

Perth prestige property market: what’s happening at the top end

Perth’s prestige market is in a different place from the wider city right now. Cotality’s index shows Perth values falling over the past three months, yet REIWA’s suburb profiles show house medians of $2.28 million to $7.25 million across the western suburbs and riverside areas we track, with REIWA’s sales price growth figure positive in […]

Where Perth buyers are actually buying in 2026: what 140 purchases tell us

Across the 140 recent purchases You&Me have settled, two areas stand out: the north coastal corridor from Clarkson to Yanchep, and the Rockingham–Kwinana end of the southern corridor, a lot of reasons for investors mainly. Both offer more land and house for the money than inner suburbs, and both sit near major public investment. Closer […]

RBA raises cash rate to 4.85%: what it means for Perth buyers

The short answer: On 3 November 2026 the Reserve Bank lifted the cash rate by 0.25 percentage points to 4.85%, its fifth rise this year and the highest level since November 2008 (The Adviser, 3 Nov 2026). For Perth buyers that means smaller borrowing capacity and higher repayments, but also a calmer market with fewer […]
