read moreWhy use a Buying Agent?
Finding great houses or apartments to purchase is hard work. A lot of the transactions happen quietly off market. With all the contacts and experience that we have, we still put in a tremendous amount of work on behalf of our clients in ensuring that no stone is left unturned in the quest to unearth the best properties. It is our full time job, our 100% focus and we need every hour in the day, so we think that it would be almost impossible for a property buyer to cover the ground we do whilst maintaining some degree of normality in their everyday lives.
Trying to search for a property whilst maintaining a full time job would be particularly difficult and there is no doubt that opportunities would be missed doing property searching on a “part time” basis. For this reason, we feel that working with a buying agent is a pre requisite to buying the very best property.
Put simply, efficient property search requires a degree of organisation and commitment, it involves a huge number of telephone calls, emails and property visits to shortlist suitable homes. It requires time, energy and patience to follow up leads really quickly when suitable properties become available. And that is before you have built up a complete network of contacts in any given area, not just estate agents, who might come up with something special. Developers, architects, solicitors, bankers, old clients, friends etc etc.
So why use a buying agent? You just simply could not hope to cover all the bases we do without one.
