What is a Buyers Agent?
A Buyers Agent is a licensed real estate agent that works exclusively on behalf of the property buyer (the purchaser).
Buyers Agents offer a range of professional consultancy services that identify and qualify suitable properties, negotiate price, facilitate the completion of transactions.
Just like any sellers agent, Buyers Agents are required, by law to hold a full Class1 real-estate license in order to legally represent their clients through to transaction - a buyer or seller places themselves at risk if they engage the services of an unlicensed and therefore uninsured agent.

In summary, the main distinction between a Buyers Agent and a Sellers Agent lies in their goals. A Sellers Agent aims to secure the highest sale price for the client's property, while a Buyers Agent focuses on finding a property that aligns with the buyer's lifestyle and negotiating the seller down to the lowest sale price.
What are some of the benefits of having us on your side?
At Pro Buyers Group are mission is to over achieve on your property expectations. Our full range of consultancy and management services mean we don't stop at findng you a great property and negotiating a great price.
We are also qualified building inspectors and experienced renovation and development project managers. That means we can see potential and exploit it on your behalf.Â
Saving you time and money
On average, it will take a buyer six months to find and buy a home - the demands of everyday life frustratingly reduce the time spent on searching for a property to a few hours in the evenings trawling through listing sites and rare free weekends spent organising viewings and travelling
In 2020, properties on the Central Coast increased in value significantly and they show no sign of stopping - the average house increased in value by an average of 17.5% or $100,000.
If that rate of increase continues through 2021/22, as many industry watchdogs predict it will, the same home, six months from now, could cost as much as $50,000 more. By engaging our services you can reduce the time it takes to find your new home, avoiding a large part of that increase.
Local knowledge and contacts
The Central Coast is growing and developing at a rate of knots and understanding the impact of those changes is critical to ensuring that you are buying smart.
Pro Buyers Group is embedded in the Central Coast. Everyone in our team is lucky enough to live and work here. We know the benefits and challenges of every suburb and the demographics of the communities that live in them.
.
This intimate knowledge and understanding gives our buyers the confidence that we can match their lifestyle and practical day-to-day living needs, to the perfect home. It's no longer enough to know where the good schools, shops and recreational facilities are or what suburb is delivering decent growth now. What is important is what is coming down the track and where those opportunities to exploit change can be found.
Being a local also means we have great relationships with the region's real estate agents who will often bring new listings to us first to see if we have any pre-approved buyers looking for that kind of property.
Put yourself in the safe hands of a local Buyers Agent and come join the Central Coast community.
Eliminate the risk of emotional buying
Unfortunately, property buyers, and especially 'first-time' buyers can often find themselves being driven along by their emotions. These emotions can easily trigger a 'Fear Of Missing Out' (FOMO) reaction resulting in them moving too fast or, worst of all, buying a property that is not quite right. Our Buyers Agents are not susceptible to FOMO and as such remain focused on the practical requirements and lifestyle goals, they capture during an in-depth, one-to-one consultations. We even contract to it.
Access to Off-Market properties
The growing trend of 'DIY property sales', where home owners advertise their properties privately, means that buyers can no longer expect real estate agents to have all available properties on their books. However, because we represent buyers exclusively, private sellers will often us knowing that all our clients are vetted, pre-approved and ready to buy. They also know that, as we exclusively represent the buyer, we will not charge them any commission or fees for facilitating their sale.
Â
The fact that all our clients are motivated, vetted and loan approved also means that many real estate agents will come to us with new properties before putting them on the market - saving them the expense of marketing the property. In these cases it is critical that the buyer is ready to move fast. We can help you be that fast.
Renovating to perfection and Equity manufacturing
Â
At Pro Buyers Group we don't limit our search to properties that meet the exact requirement specifications. We look at all possibilities and that means we often uncover exciting opportunities that, with some structural adjustments will not only get the home you need, but in the location you want.
Often this 'Renovation to Perfection' approach will actually add value to the property, over and above the cost of those renovations, putting the your new home or investment in profit, before either you move in or sign up a tenant.
With our unique in-house inspection and building services, we are able to generate an accurate feasibility report for these 'diamonds-in-the-rough', that will help you see how your budget can deliver a greater return and a more perfect match to your needs.
We can even manage the project for you.
