LYNC Buyer’s Agents have assisted many clients, advising them against purchasing the wrong property or overpaying for the right one. In a selling scenario, the team work to secure the best agent for the job and acts as a conduit between the client and the agent, advising them so the best outcome can be achieved.

2. Save Time

Sourcing and purchasing a suitable property is time consuming, therefore, using LYNC Buyer’s Agents to do your bidding for you (literally!) is a great way to free up time that is better spent elsewhere. The LYNC team save you the disappointment of missing out and wasting hours on the phone and internet while our team does the work for you; locating, evaluating, vetting, inspecting and reporting on suitable properties, so you only need to consider those opportunities that most closely meet your needs.

3. Utilise Strong Negotiation Skills

LYNC Buyer’s Agents excel in negotiation, demonstrating a keen ability to assess and, if necessary, walk away from deals that do not align with our clients’ best interests.

4. You Live Interstate or Overseas

6. Expert Advice, Knowledge And Experience

Would you make a significant investment decision without consulting a financial adviser? Purchasing property presents equally important opportunities and risks, and inadvertently many buyers purchase an unsuitable property or overpay as a result of having a lack of resources, inadequate local knowledge of areas, completing insufficient due diligence or getting emotionally attached and making errors in judgement. Purchasing property is something most people only do a few times in their lives, therefore it is essential that discerning buyers seek out professional, expert advice and engage us with our local knowledge of the market they are looking to purchase in.

7. You May Lack Detailed Knowledge

Many clients we speak to really don’t know a lot about purchasing property, and for those venturing into property investment for the first time, the detail can prove too much.

Where should I buy?
What can I afford?
What type of property should I buy?
What is the market value of a property?
What conditions do I put in the contract to protect myself?
What conditions will sway a successful outcome in my favour?
Where do I find a great Property Manager?
What’s the rental potential?
What’s happening in the local area?
What opportunities are there for capital gains or rental return?
Who is the competition?
Is there a Body Corporate and how do I get the records?
What questions do I ask?

All of these are valid questions and there are countless others.

The good news is we can answer all of these questions for you. We are your partner and advocate throughout the process and manage the purchase on your behalf, keeping you informed along the way. You will learn a lot, so next time it won’t be so daunting.
