In this episode, Campbell Wallace breaks down the key qualities that make a great buyer’s agent and why choosing the right one can make or break your property investment strategy.

Investing in the highest-quality, investment-grade property within your budget is crucial for long-term capital growth. But navigating the market alone can be risky, and making the wrong purchase could set you back years financially. A top-tier buyer’s agent helps you avoid costly mistakes and ensures you secure the best asset possible.

🔹 What should you look for?
✅ A minimum of 10 years of experience or a team-based approach to leverage expertise
✅ Deep local market knowledge—not just data-driven analysis but real, on-the-ground insight
✅ A rigorous due diligence process to uncover hidden risks before you buy
✅ Transparent pricing advice—no misleading “bargain” off-market deals
✅ Integrity & reputation—agents who are willing to walk away from a bad deal

💡 BONUS: Campbell shares insider tips on how to vet potential agents, ask the right questions, and ensure you’re working with someone who prioritises your long-term success over a quick commission.
