1.Why should I use a Buyers Agent when I could do it all myself?
Initially most buyers think they can go and buy a property just as wells as we can. Quite often we have people enquiring, only to see them months down the line engaging our services. Simply put we rally do save people lotsof time, thousands of dolllars and remove stress and household conflict.
Most people don't think twice when engaging the services of other professionals such as lawyers, accountants and financial planners, so why would you not employ a Buyers Agent when you are about to make what could be the most expensive purchase in your life.
Not only will you be getting access to our highly detailed ' Property Market and APpraisal Report', you also get our years of experience, insider knowledge of the local market and our tried and tested relationships with all the local real estate agents.

We're not estate agents. Quite the opposite in fact: we represent buyers, not sellers. But we do have relationships with all the top selling agents, who know us as a source of serious, reliable buyers, and happily provide us access to their "off-market" properties, as well as those they're actively marketing. Just a a sales agetn is paid by the seller, we are paid by you, the buyer.
Our relationships with estate agents as valued partners are a crucial part of our business. We represent buyers, they represent sellers – clearly, it's in both our interests to work together as smoothly as possible.
Estate agents know us as a source of reliable, committed buyers with assured budgets. We know all our clients' requirements in great detail, and can be confident whether a property being marketed by a particular estate agent is likely to be of interest. We spend a lot of time liaising with many other industry professionals, (solicitors, architects, surveyors,) so our market information can also be very useful to estate agents.
