Buyers Agent Buyer’s agents specialize in searching out, locating and negotiating the purchase of property on behalf of the buyer. More and more consumers are enlisting the services of buyer’s agents – also called buyer’s advocates – to help them find and purchase their dream home or investment property. Buyer’s agents are licensed professionals that specialize in searching, evaluating and negotiating the purchase of property on behalf of the buyer. What does a buyer’s agent do? A buyer’s agent or advocate generally offers two types of services. The full service sees them search out properties meeting their client’s criteria and negotiate the purchase of the property ultimately chosen.They may look for one specific property, or an entire portfolio, depending on your needs. Investors should note that the cost of using a buyer’s advocate is generally tax-deductible when purchasing an investment property.
Why use a buyer’s agent? Early and wide access Some buyer’s agents have access to a wider range of properties that you may ordinarily be exposed to (some may not even be advertised). They will utilize their network to connect you with focused opportunities, often ahead of others in the market.

Your weekends are freed up to attend inspections and focus only on the properties with a great chance of ticking your boxes.
