Let's answer your questions

What is the difference between a Buyers' Agent and a Selling Agent?
A licensed Real Estate Buyers' Agent works exclusively for you, the Buyer. Many Buyers do not realise that a Real Estate Agent is legally bound to represent the Seller (vendor) in a real property transaction. Their purpose is to obtain the highest possible price in the quickest possible time for the Seller. How then can a Selling Agent, provide you the Buyer, with independent advice? Surely this would represent a clear conflict of interest? You may also find that many selling agents simply do not give you the time and attention that you need, if you don't buy the property they want to sell.

People buy property without a Buyers' Agent all the time - why should I be paying Propertunity to help me?
By engaging an experienced Buyers' Agent, you can expect to get access to properties that the general public never find out about (silent or off-market sales). Also, Propertunity can research the property sales history using the same industry data accessed by real estate agents. You will usually know what the expected market price of the property should be - so you can ensure you don't overpay. You can also be advised of what the likely reserve price should be if the property is being auctioned. You can save time and often find a suitable property quicker.  By using a Buyers' Agent like Propertunity, you can relax and thereby reduce the emotions and stress involved, knowing that professionals are working hard for you.

Are selling agents happy to deal with Propertunity?
Yes – Propertunity has built up over many years, an extensive network of non-commercial relationships with local Real Estate Agents.  Because of this we have access to sometimes better deals and a greater number of properties (including silent or off-market sales) than the general public.  Many selling agents enjoy dealing with us because they see us as a source of qualified Buyers that are willing and able to buy. Selling agents still receive their full commission from their vendor regardless of where the Buyer comes from.

What is your fee structure?
We quote a fixed fee based on a combination of your price range and the option that you engage us to carry out. We work on your behalf to negotiate the lowest possible price on the best possible terms to you the Buyer.

Our fees represent an investment. We can often save our clients many times* our fees through our knowledge of the local property market and our negotiating abilities. (*Please note that at various stages of the property market and more specifically during periods of a “seller’s” market, that this is not always possible. However, you will still benefit from all the other skills we bring to the transaction).

Are your Buyers' Agent fees tax deductible?
Your accountant can best advise you on this. If you are buying an investment property our fees may be tax advantaged for you. If you are buying a property for yourself to live in, our fees are probably not tax deductible to you. 

Is your company fully licensed to be a Buyers' Agent?
Yes - Propertunity is fully licensed (Corporation License # 1491556) to be a Buyer’s Agent. Click here to check: http://www.propertyservicesregister.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/olc/psr/Search.do
