What exactly does a buyer's agent do, and why might you need one for your next property purchase? This candid conversation with three of the Sunshine Coast's leading buyer's agents—Murray McCarthy, Aaron Thompson, and Keeta Gibson—lifts the curtain on one of real estate's most valuable yet misunderstood professions.
From diverse backgrounds spanning corporate property development, IT, and sales, these professionals share their journeys and why they're passionate about leveling the playing field for property buyers. They tackle the biggest misconceptions head-on, including the myth that their services are only for the wealthy elite. As Aaron reveals, "I've helped an elderly couple from New Zealand buy a $760,000 house... so at any price point we can help buyers."
The conversation delves into their day-to-day challenges and successes, revealing how buyer's agents save clients not just stress but significant money. In one compelling example, Aaron shares how he saved clients $100,000 by finding an off-market property just days before they were set to bid at auction on a less suitable home.
Learn how these professionals wear multiple hats—from negotiator to counselor to local area expert—all while maintaining independence from selling agents. They explain how their deep connections provide access to properties before they hit the market, and how their negotiation skills and market knowledge help clients buy with confidence.
Whether you're a first-time buyer intimidated by the process, a busy professional without time to house hunt, or an interstate investor seeking local expertise, this episode provides invaluable insights into how a buyer's agent might be the secret weapon you need for your next property purchase. Tune in to discover if partnering with a buyer's advocate could transform your real estate journey.
