A Buyer’s Advocate, also known as a Buyer’s Agent, is a licensed professional who represents and protects the interests of property buyers during the entire property purchasing process.

Unlike Real Estate Agents or Selling Agents who work for vendors to secure the best price and terms for their clients, a Buyer’s Advocate is a licensed Real Estate professional that exclusively works on behalf of you, the buyer.

They provide transparent, trustworthy and personalised guidance and experienced support for the buyer.

A Buyer’s Advocates primary goal is to find the right property, negotiate the best possible deal and ensure a smooth, stress-free transaction, saving you, the buyer, time and heartache along the way.

A Buyer’s Advocate works exclusively for you, the buyer, while Real Estate Agents represent the seller. A Buyer’s Agent’s sole purpose is to help the buyer find and secure the best property at the best price, ensuring their interests are protected.

A Real Estate Agent or Selling Agent, is a professional that is engaged by a Vendor to obtain as high a sale price as possible while buyers have traditionally come up against them alone.

Engaging a Buyer’s Advocate ensures professional representation, protection and expert guidance throughout one of life’s biggest and often most emotional purchases.

Vendor Advocacy is a service that supports property sellers by acting as their independent advisor throughout the sale process. A Vendor’s Advocate will help you choose the right Real Estate Agent for your property, oversee the marketing campaign and manage negotiations to ensure you achieve the best possible result.
