Complete Property Consulting Service - Search to Settlement

BUYERS FIRST works with clients to establish their 'needs and expectations'. We then search the market to find a property that matches your criteria. Once the right property is found, we provide market analyses so that you can make an informed decision.

If you decide to go ahead, we can then negotiate the purchase – keeping you informed. We can organise building and pest inspections, and searches of Council zonings and regulations. If it's an auction, we can bid on your behalf. As licensed agents we can liaise with solicitors, conveyancers, valuers, and of course, the vendor's agent.

BUYERS FIRST can also assist post-purchase services including re-location, interior design and refurbishment.

You may have found a property. Should you buy it? – Property Report

We have access to extensive market research on recent sales, market trends and projected capital growth of individual suburbs. We can prepare a comprehensive property report to help you make an informed decision.

Negotiating the deal

Successful negotiation is about preparation, tactics, psychology, communications skills and informed positions. Yet most people, when it comes to life's most important financial decision, make an offer and hope for the best.

BUYERS FIRST do better than that. By showing the vendor that we've done our homework, we give your offer credentials.

Auction bidding

Most people find property auctions very emotional and intimidating. This is not the easiest atmosphere in which to think clearly and respond quickly. BUYERS FIRST can bid for you. We'll discuss tactics beforehand and agree on how much you're prepared to pay. Timing can be crucial. Confidence can make the difference. That way you won't make an expensive mistake.

Property Investment

Successful property investment has two components: the right building and the right tenant. BUYERS FIRST researches both.

Our Property Reports outline areas of strong capital growth that return healthy yields and attract stable tenants in retail, office and industrial premises. Talk over your plans with us.

Expatriates - Get a foot on the ground backhome

A buyer's agent is the perfect way for expatriates to get into the booming Australian property market. The number of expatriates reported wanting to own a slice of property for future domicile has increased, and now is an excellent time to re-evaluate and consider real estate options from a number of perspectives.

Tell us what you're looking for. BUYERS FIRST can provide a short list by email with photographs and often, virtual tours; backed up by market reports, building inspections, and introductions to lenders. If you buy it, we can find tenants to keep it warm, and services to keep it new.

BUYERS FIRST invite you to explore with them the benefits and ease with which you can purchase property while living abroad.
