Who actually uses a Buyer's Agent?

If you believe some of the comments online, you'd think it's only wealthy investors chasing secret off-market deals.

In reality, many of the people I work with are everyday owner-occupiers.

🏠 The widow who hasn't bought a property in 35 years.

🏠 The divorcee suddenly navigating the market alone.

🏠 The single buyer carrying every decision themselves.

🏠 The young couple trying to filter advice from parents, friends and social media.

🏠 The buyer who's exhausted after months of inspections and starting to doubt their own judgement.

Finding properties is rarely the hard part.

Making a confident decision often is.

One of my favourite moments was a young couple thanking me after settlement and jokingly saying, "Thanks Dad."

It made me laugh, but it also captured what many buyers are really looking for — an independent voice, some guidance, and someone in their corner during a major life decision.

I've written a new article about the people who often choose to use a Buyer's Agent and why.

One of the biggest misconceptions buyers have right now is that a softer market means every seller is desperate.

They’re not.

What has changed is that negotiation strategy matters again.

The buyers getting the best results in the current Brisbane market aren’t necessarily the ones making the lowest offers.

They’re the ones who understand:
• the seller
• the competition
• the property itself
• and where genuine leverage actually exists

Good negotiation isn’t about “winning.”

It’s about securing the right property on the best possible terms and still feeling good about the decision years later.

There’s a big difference between looking at a property… and actually assessing it.

I recently inspected an apartment for a client.

Another buyer’s agent was there at the same time. They walked through the unit, asked for an offer form… and left.

On the surface, the property presented well. The numbers looked great. It was bang on brief.

But property isn’t just what’s inside the four walls.

After the inspection, I walked the entire complex.

What became obvious very quickly were visible signs of issues across the building, the kind that don’t show up in photos, and don’t get picked up in a 10-minute walkthrough.

A look at the sinking fund told the rest of the story: it appeared unlikely to cover the scale of works that may be required.

We walked away.

No drama. Just disciplined decision-making.

This is where experience matters.

Because the risk in property is rarely what you can see immediately, it’s what sits underneath, what’s coming, and what it’s going to cost.

Anyone can attend an inspection.

Not everyone is assessing the asset.

I’ll take that as a positive review!
