Getting Started with a Buyer's Agent
In the normal course of purchasing a property, you would come across a sales agent who acts on behalf of the seller. His role is to act in the best interests of the seller. Similarly, a buyer’s agent is a licensed real estate professional who represents the buyer. His role is primarily to identify an appropriate area, source the right property at the right price and help the client navigate through the process of sourcing through to settlement.
You should engage a buyer’s agent if you are:
- Interested in creating wealth through property
- You are time poor
- You do not have the requisite skills
Background & Experience: It is important to understand the educational background and experience of the professional. At Prudent Realty Sudhir comes with a strong accounting, finance and investment background. Sudhir was a practicing financial planner with over 15 years’ experience. Sudhir is an avid property investor.
Success Stories: It is worth asking the buyer’s agent a sample of their past deals. Please refer to our “Success Stories” section for a sample of our past deals. This gives you an idea of the performance both in terms of rental yield and the capital growth.
Client testimonials: They are a great way to understand the experience of clients in relation to the buyer’s advocate. Please refer to our “client testimonials” section to understand more about what our clients have to say about us.
