Hi, having an agent to assist you as a buyer will further enhance your knowledge as to why certain property is a good buy while some are not at all. As we have the latest apps and data to back up our reasoning. So this will save you much time and hassle just by going around and to arrange viewing all by yourself.

Hi,

I think you should not worry too much about engaging an agent to act on your behalf. You should however look at the benefits a good agent can bring to you.

Imagine a property worth $2m, and if a good agent can get you $100k savings to close for you at $1.9m, his difference in commission is only a measly $1000 if the Seller pays 2% to be shared among the agents.

A good agent will act on your behalf to save you this $100k, and sacrifice just $1000 of his total commission. That is on top of the work that he has to do by understand your needs and requirements, and then shortlisting suitable units for you.

For me, I'm looking to build a long-term relationship with all my clients. Sacrificing $1000 in commission is nothing to me, as I strongly believe that if I serve my clients' interest at heart, they will be more than willing to refer their their friends and relatives to me. Trust, Integrity and Friendship, these are not something money can buy!

Should you need any further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Dear Sir/Mdm,

A good and trustworthy salesperson will do his or her best to negotiate the best deal for you. I will strive to win my clients' trust and develop a long term working relationship with my clients and not put my clients interests at risk just for an extra bit of commission.

It is advisable to engage someone whom you can trust so that he or she can fight for your best interest in the transaction. If you need any assistance, please feel free to contact me! Good luck with the hunt for a property!

He is competent, resourceful and has a pleasant manner to work with. He is the Agent of my choice in dealing with properties and I would highly recommend him to others who would appreciate an agent that takes care and can give the customer a peaceful mind.”

“Nick is very pro-active in helping us to resolve whatever questions and problems that we encountered. All the issues are settled even before us having to request or ask for a second time.

Dear friend,

Fellow agents have already reflected their views.
All are right and valid.

You have missed out a very important point.

Seller pays a comm to his agent, who shares with Buyer's agent.

You as buyer, pays nothing.

If you are doubting your agent (as there is no motivation for him), you can go straight to the seller's agent and deal directly with him.

As the law requires, agent can only represent 1 party.
He must look out for the interests of his client (seller in this case).
If you are not represented, who will look out for you?

We are professionals. We know the laws and procedures in Sales and Purchase, Renting and leasing. We know what to look out for, where to be extra careful, where to and how to fight for you.

I just closed a rental transaction, representing the Tenant. I get my comm from SHARING with the Landlord's agent.

Despite knowing that my client has a corporate rental budget of 8k, I still negotiated it down to 7k for him.
He does not get back the $1k as the company pays directly.
I negotiated to use that saving of $1k with the landlord, to have them cover the Utilities and Air Con servicing.

So now my client's company pays the rent of $8k, and he does not have to worry about utilities bill and Aircon servicing.

This is what i do for my client, even when i my comms comes from the landlord/seller.

I hope i have convinced you that we are Professional in what we do.

Do get in touch with me if you feel i can help you in your purchase.

regards

Dear buyer,

If you have this concern, there are basically 2 probable solutions you can look into:

1) Go through all the potential listings and make arrangements for viewings personally for the purchase.

2) Pay your appointed salesperson commission instead of having the salesperson share with the seller's salesperson to ensure that he or she will be highly motivated to work together with you to remove the conflict of interest which you have identified.

It is not a standard for both seller's and buyer's salesperson to share commission, although that is usually the practise. I have been paid commission by buyers who appointed me in their private home purchases too.

Good afternoon,

If you are concern that your agent will not act in your interest as they are sharing commission with the seller agent, you can opt to pay your agent directly should they be able to get you a better offer.
Alternatively, you can opt to hunt for a unit on your own based on whatever resource that you might get your hands on and handle the legal documentation personally.
