A buying agent helps you find, assess and purchase a home. But how much does this support cost, and is it worth the investment?
How much does a buying agent cost?
Fees vary between estate agencies. Some buying agents charge a fixed fee, while others charge a percentage of the purchase price.
The services included in the fee also vary. These may include searching for properties, accompanying you to viewings, assessing market value, negotiating and reviewing the purchase agreement.
OZQUR offers different levels of home buying support. Depending on the package you choose, these services can be combined with mortgage advice.
What exactly does a buying agent do?
A buying agent represents the buyer’s interests. This often starts before the first viewing takes place.
During the buying process, the agent can help assess the asking price, identify potential issues, develop a bidding strategy and negotiate with the seller or their agent.
Once an offer has been accepted, the agreed terms and relevant documents are reviewed.
Does a buying agent pay for themselves?
There is no guarantee. A buying agent can help you avoid unnecessary overbidding, incorrect assumptions or costly mistakes.
Their added value also goes beyond the purchase price. Saving time, receiving professional guidance and having clarity about the agreed terms are important benefits too.
What does OZQUR think?
A buying agent should offer more than simply arranging a viewing or submitting an offer.
At OZQUR, we believe clients should understand why a particular property is a good purchase and why an offer is or is not sensible.
Combining home buying support with mortgage advice allows us to assess the property and its financing together.
