Eureka Property Buyers Agents Frequently Asked Questions

 
 
If a Buyers Agent represents the buyer, who represents the seller?
The Real Estate Agent represents the vendors (sellers). Their aim is to convince you (the buyer) to purchase a home at the highest possible price.   Many buyers make the easy mistake of thinking that the selling agent is on their side but this is simply not the case. Only Buyers Agents do that.
 
As nice as they are, the selling agent works only for the vendor and is legally bound on a contractual agreement to achieve the highest possible price for the property, and to do so on the sellers terms.
 
 
Do real estate agents like dealing with a Buyers Agent?
Yes, they do and why wouldn't they? Its something we've covered fully in our article 'Buyers Agents Strongest Link in Successful Property Acquisition'  but our clients are fully qualified, goal focused, and pre-approved for finance - Ready to Go.
 
As Buyers Agents, we have a detailed understanding of the contract process and, averaging three to four successful acquisitions each month, considerable concrete experience in buying properties. 
Dealing with us, an agent has a much higher chance of closing the deal and almost a guaranteed completion of the contract.
 
 
Which areas do you service?
Eureka Buyers Agents work in the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Ipswich and the Northern NSW pocket, as far south as Yamba.
 
Are your fees based on a percentage of the contract price?
Good question.  No, our fees are not based on how much you have to spend, and nor are they based on a percentage of the contract price (how is that fair on you if the more you spend on the property the more WE get paid?).  You can view our range of Property Buying Services, and contact us if you'd like to get a quote. 
 
 
Are your Buyers Agent fees a flat fee that is agreed upfront?
 

Yes.  Our Buyers Agent professional fees are a flat fee, discussed and agreed in advance.  Once agreed to, there are no 'hidden surprises'.   The only exception to this is if you use our services on an ad hoc basis via our Property Buying Services - Hourly Rate Package.


 
If  I just want you to attend an auction on my behalf, can you do that?
Of course.  We have an Auction Only package that is perfect for you. 

Do I need to pay for costs such as pest and building inspections and conveyancing fees?
 

Yes.  These are not covered under the spectrum of Buyers Agents fees, however, we are happy to organise these services on your behalf or put you in touch with someone that can help.  

 

How do Buyers Agents actually save me money?
Our aim is to save you money in the short term by using our hard work, experience, negotiation skills, broad reaching contacts and local knowledge for your benefit.  While we can't guarantee it, most of our clients save much more than our fee in dollars and time. 
 
Do you receive kickbacks from agents or developers?  
Absolutely not. At Eureka we are 100% independent of any real estate agents, developers, builders, buying groups or financiers.
 
 
Why should I choose Eureka Buyers Agents? 
That's a good question, and we've answered it thoroughly on the Why Choose Eureka?  page.  But in a nutshell, we work to find the best possible property to suit your needs, negotiate it to the lowest possible price and agree on the best terms to suit YOU, all with a minimum amount of fuss!  Our aim is to get you from where you are now to where you want to be, in the most efficient, stress-free way possible.
 
 
Why was Eureka Property Buyers Agents started?  
We could see a glaring need in the market as people were sick and tired of buying property the old 'horse and cart' way, which many times involved bad service, not being told the whole truth or simply being taken advantage of.
 
 
Why is your business called 'Eureka' Buyers Agents? 
The definition of Eureka in the Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) is:
The exclamation attributed to Archimedes, (dating back to 270BC) where he is said to have cried out ?Eureka! Eureka!? (I have found it! I have found it!), upon suddenly discovering a method of finding out how much the gold of King Hiero's crown had been alloyed. Hence, an expression of triumph concerning a discovery. 
We thought this was a fitting name because that's exactly what we do for our clients every single day.  We create Eureka moments!
 
 
Can I call up your past clients to chat about your services?
Absolutely.  Reading testimonials on a website sometimes doesn't mean much so we're more than happy to provide you with past clients' contact details.
We respect your need to be cautious and we do everything in our power to reassure you.
 

Aren't Buyers Agents only used by rich people?
 

Absolutely not.  We work with people buying a property from $200,000 right up to 2 million dollars or more.  A Buyers Agent is for everyone.  In fact, it's the buyers that can't afford to get it wrong who need our help the most. We strive hard to keep our overheads low, therefore ensuring our services remain affordable for ALL.

We have different Property Buying Services available to suit different people, and our industry rates are extremely competitive.  Contact us to discuss your personal requirements or complete our Property Buyers Brief to obtain a quote.  
 
 
I hear a lot that Buyers Agents provide peace of mind.  In what way?
In the long term you'll have peace of mind knowing that you made a fully informed decision, and that you purchased the best possible property at the best possible price to suit your needs and budget.
