FAQs

Many people come to Buyers Agents after realising how challenging it is to navigate listings, inspections, due diligence, and negotiations alone—or after missing out at auctions. When you choose Inform Buyers, you’re partnering with a team that consistently delivers results in Sydney’s competitive market. We step in to simplify and enhance the process with distinct advantages:

• Reduced Stress and Frustration: The Sydney market is known for its pace and competition. At Inform Buyers, we leverage our extensive network, property knowledge, and negotiating expertise to secure the right property for you, managing every step so you can move forward confidently.

• Market Insights and Education: Whether you’re a first-time buyer or new to Sydney’s dynamic market, we guide you through the entire process—Search, Evaluate, Negotiate—with deep insights to support informed decisions.

Ultimately, the best time to buy is based on your circumstances. Do you feel secure in your finances? Are you clear on your property goals? If so, reach out to us for a no-obligation consultation. We’re happy to provide insights on the current market—whether you decide to use our services or not.

Inform Buyers is your dedicated partner for securing your next property, whether it’s a family home, downsizer, first home, or investment. Our services are organised into three primary areas:

• Search: We assess your lifestyle needs and property aspirations, conducting a thorough search to find properties that align with them.

• Evaluate: We conduct meticulous analysis and due diligence, offering expert insights to support a wise investment.

• Negotiate: Our proactive negotiation strategies are designed to secure the best possible deal, ensuring you benefit from our extensive experience and expertise.

Typically, Buyers Agents require an initial retainer, and a success fee (payable on exchange) based on the property price (either a percentage or a fee attached to the price range). Inform Buyers is different to ensure complete client satisfaction, we collect a modest retainer to begin and only charge the final fee upon settlement (when the job is finished).

We’re transparent about all costs from the start, with the goal of making our fee a valuable investment in your property journey.

Our commitment to client success sets us apart. During our complimentary consultation, we explain our unique approach:

• Integrity and Transparency: We’re upfront about costs, process, and any challenges, building trust from the start. Our clients know they’re in expert hands and can expect nothing less than our best efforts.

Our commitment is to find you the right property at the best possible price, and we won’t stop until we do. Our mission is to exceed your expectations, and if you’re not satisfied, we’re here to make it right.

With the right Buyers Agent, the answer is a resounding yes. If you’re comfortable managing dozens of agent calls, property inspections, and tough negotiations yourself, a Buyers Agent may not be for you. However, if you want a seamless, expertly managed process with an agent who goes above and beyond, Inform Buyers delivers unbeatable value.

Both roles require licensing, but they represent opposing interests. A Real Estate Agent is hired by and represents the seller, aiming to secure the highest price. A Buyers Agent is hired by the buyer, with the sole objective of achieving the best price and terms for them. Inform Buyers takes this role further, ensuring our clients secure properties that meet their standards for value and quality.

Start by confirming they’re licensed (check via Fair Trading Verify a Licence) and review client testimonials and qualifications. At Inform Buyers, we prioritise transparency—if you can’t find specific information, just ask. We’re proud of our reputation, and we want you to feel confident in your choice.

Many agents make this claim, but Inform Buyers lets our results and client testimonials speak for themselves. We’re confident that once you work with us, you’ll see why so many clients consider us the best in the industry.

Demand for Buyers Agents is steadily growing, especially in highly competitive markets like Sydney. Inform Buyers provides a strategic edge, helping clients navigate market challenges, access off-market properties, and negotiate effectively.

Unfortunately, Buyers Agent fees are not tax-deductible, though we’re here to help investors make informed decisions that lead to long-term returns.

NSW Government resources (Buying residential property in NSW and Buying a property) can help first-time buyers, but Inform Buyers simplifies every step. We handle the process from start to finish, making sure your first property experience is seamless and rewarding.

Absolutely, buying a strata property can be a valuable investment – provided you select the right one to meet your specific needs and goals. Strata properties offer distinct advantages, such as shared maintenance of common areas, access to facilities like pools and gyms, and a sense of community. However, they come with unique considerations, including strata fees, by-laws, and specific maintenance responsibilities.

At Inform Buyers, our in-depth expertise in strata properties is unmatched by many other buyers agents. We bring a comprehensive understanding of strata regulations and management, enabling us to guide you smoothly through the complexities. Our team will perform detailed due diligence, thoroughly review strata documents, and ensure you understand all associated costs and obligations. Whether you’re considering a strata or Torrens title property, we’ll help you secure the ideal property that aligns with your lifestyle and financial objectives – so you can make an informed, confident decision.

Off-market properties are those not listed publicly. Types include:

• Off-Market: Properties available only to selected buyers from an agent’s database.
• Pre-Market: Properties shown to select buyers from the agent’s database before public listing.
• Private: Properties not officially for sale but open to offers.

Inform Buyers has unmatched experience with all off-market types, providing you with access to the best options at the right time.

Off-market properties vary in price, with factors like owner circumstances and market demand influencing price. Inform Buyers ensures a thorough assessment so you know when an off-market property is a worthwhile investment.

Absolutely. One of Inform Buyers' standout strengths is our access to exclusive off-market listings. Thanks to our established network and industry relationships, we can present properties not publicly available, giving you a broader selection and reducing competition. With Inform Buyers, you get access to properties few others know about.
