How can you benefit from using a buyers advocate when buying a Melbourne property? Buying a property takes a lot of time and knowledge about the real estate market, the areas in Melbourne you are looking at, prices of recent sales, negotiation and bidding skills, as well as being aware of potential pitfalls that could cost you a lot of money. A buyers Advocate, also called a buyers agent, work for you as the buyer, not for the people selling the properties. They are licensed and accredited and have extensive knowledge of the property market, and work with you in order to help you find the right property at the right price. In most cases, their knowledge and expertise can help you save a lot of time, and tens of thousands of dollars when purchasing your next Melbourne property.
