Does property negotiation scare you? Then read this!

Rule #1: Everything is negotiable! A recent article on realestate.com.au provided some great insights into the art of negotiation.

However, we'll begin by adding one key negotiation tip that they DIDN'T include: Use a professional negotiator.
​
Real estate agents ARE professional negotiators. They are trained to negotiate the highest price for the seller. Real estate agents deal with selling property every day.
Why would you consider negotiating against a professional negotiator?

Buyers Home Base are highly skilled property negotiators who used to be Real Estate Agents. Our real estate negotiation skills can save you thousands. With skilled questions and disciplined suggestions, we level the playing field for you. When buying a house, there's more to negotiate than price. Settlement terms, conditions and inclusions can be negotiated on your behalf.

Prior to the establishment of the specialist first home buyer Buyers Advocacy business, Buyers Home Base, most First Home Buyers could not afford the luxury of having a professional negotiator on their side.

With the minimum Buyers Advocates fee of $7,000, most First Home Buyers were left out in the cold to identify a property & negotiate for themselves. Buyers Home Base changes all that with a low Flat Fee of $3,000 (NOTE: This fee is subject to change - Please refer to our current Buyers Advocacy Fees page for our current low, flat fees for first home buyers).

By using a professional negotiator, you’ll never be left wondering “Did I pay too much for this property?"

Understand negotiation is a process
Acknowledging the reality that negotiation is a two-way street can help make the process less daunting.
Putting yourself in the seller’s shoes can help you work out how to best play your hand. For example, why is the vendor selling? And how can you present the case around your offer, and best time it for a successful outcome?

Know the market
What you’re willing to pay for the property is only part of the equation.
Make sure you research current, comparable sale prices for similar homes in the same area before putting in an offer or bidding at auction.

Be confident
Put any fears and any negativity to the side. A confident, positive attitude is key in any kind of negotiation.

Robert Orme

As first home buyers, my wife and I decided to engage the services of Buyers Home Base-and we are incredibly glad that we did!

​We are thankful to all three women who made the purchasing of our first home so memorable. We couldn’t be more thrilled to move into it shortly.

It was our first time buying a property and Jo-Anne Davies was nothing short of brilliant from start to finish.

​Very informative and good to deal with, she helped us through an amazingly tight schedule to get our top priority property.

Huge thanks to Mal from Buyers Home Base for helping us buy our first home! Mal's knowledge and experience was invaluable, and guided us at every step of the way to making a great purchase!

We're already looking forward to working with Mal again in the future to find property #2!
