Our Buyer's Agency Guarantee
Imagine spending every weekend for months looking through home opens, only to miss out on your dream property because you were outbid or too late.
This is the reality for many Perth home buyers, where the property market can be as unforgiving as competitive.
If you’re concerned about spending too much time on property research, you’ll love our Perth buyers agent services.
Time is money
Time is a precious commodity, especially when you’re balancing work, family, and the stress of house hunting. This quick article will reveal how buyers can save not just time, but potentially thousands of dollars in the process.
Understanding the Problem
The Perth property market is complex. With fluctuating prices, undiscovered deals, and fierce competition, finding the right home at the right price can feel like a full-time job.
If you’re not familiar with our services, take a look at our You&Me Guarantee. It outlines our commitment to you and should give you peace of mind.
Problems buyers face
- Endless hours scrolling through listings on real estate websites: https://www.realestate.com.au/, https://www.domain.com.au/
- Weekends consumed by home opens: think about how long it takes to attend one home open and then travel to and attend another.
- Stress from negotiating and potentially missing out on properties
- Lack of insider knowledge leading to poor decisions
- Time away from family and work commitments
- FIFO workers: hours spent on “R&R” to look for a property.
The impact of this DIY approach is significant. Buyers often experience burnout, make rushed decisions, or worse, miss out on ideal properties. The average Perth buyer may spend over 120 hours over 4.5 months searching for a property. That’s equivalent to more than three full work weeks!
