BUYER’S AGENT

Most Australians feel time-poor, worried about their financial future, and uncertain about how to start investing in property.

We simplify the process by identifying growth-ready locations and acting exclusively on behalf of buyers to secure high-quality properties tailored to their needs.

Using a data-driven property selection process, we match properties to our clients' lifestyle and financial goals. This removes uncertainty and stress, creating a clear pathway to financial security, flexibility, and peace of mind.

After an initial consultation to discuss your requirements, and determine what you want to see in your new property, IOU Property will then expertly guide you through the purchase and settlement process:

 
 

Source properties that fit your brief, and present them to you

 

Provide inspection and 'on the ground' feedback of shortlisted properties

 

Crunch the numbers, including cash flow analysis, due dilligence, and property specific reporting

Negotiate on your behalf on the chosen property, with the seller's agent

Provide guidance with which professionals to engage at which point in time (ie solicitors, inspectors, mortgage brokers)

Help you crack open that bottle of champagne when the property settles

Kind Words

“Matthew sought out a property for our self managed super fund and came up with a couple of very suitable options. I thought they were acceptably priced as they were but he encouraged us not to pay over the odds even to the extent of missing out if necessary, As he predicted one of them came back to us at the right price so we saved thousands over what I would have paid. The property has turned out very well too.”
— Chris
 

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A good buyer's agent takes the hassle out of buying property. They rely on networks and relationships with sales agents to source property. They handle all tasks of the purchase process, saving the client time and frustration. Often Buyers Agents ‘save’ their fee in just the negotiation alone via their negotiation experience. Many people only buy property a handful of times during their life whereas a BA is purchasing frequently and knows the ins and outs of price discovery. A good BA will also select properties which will outperform over the coming years meaning higher capital growth and financial rewards in the future. They are experts in their location and can save the hassle of inspecting multiple properties. Sales Agents are financially incentivised to achieve the highest possible price for their vendors. Buyers Agents are paid directly by their clients and want to achieve the best possible outcome at the lowest possible price. There is no financial incentive to pay a higher sale price and receive no kickbacks or commissions like sales agents do.

  • Anyone can buy property however Buyers Agents are similar to mechanics or builders. It isn’t the 90% you do know but the 10% you don’t. A builder’s fee is not made up of “hitting things with a hammer” but more so “knowing where to hit”.

  • We would welcome the opportunity to discuss how investing in a buyers agent can help you. We can show you the value of our service which includes all sourcing, inspections, negotiations and support during the entire purchasing process. Using a Buyers Agent can significantly improve the overall performance of a property and can have exponential positive effects.

  • There is no obligation to engage our recommended professionals. These are just businesses we have worked with in the past and are extremely experienced and professional. We receive no financial incentive through our recommendations.

  • This can vary depending on the market situation. Our client agreement lasts for 6 months however we often have a successful outcome well within this timeframe.

  • Please discuss this with us.
