Buyer’s advocates work for you

Synergy buyer advocates streamline the search process and eliminate the stress and hassle of buying a property. We sit between you and the real estate agent, asking questions and making sure you have everything you need to make the best purchase decision.  We help to level the playing field.

Why use a buyer’s advocate?

Success in our world is about helping you to buy the right property at the right price. Synergy buyers advocates help you take a strategic approach to your property purchase - providing you with objective advice, industry knowledge, due diligence and negotiation strategies - before and during an auction - to help you buy the property you want for the best possible price.

Our buyer advocate clients are typically time poor executives, busy families and business owners who benefit from our specialist knowledge of how real estate agents work, the mechanics of effective property transactions, and Melbourne’s inner city and Bayside property markets. They ask us questions like:

• Can you help me reduce the time and leg work needed to find and buy a property?
• How do I know if that’s the right property for me? Will it be a good investment? Will I be able to get a decent rental return?
• How do I effectively negotiate with Real Estate Agents to purchase a property?
• Can you help me to bid at auction or negotiate a property purchase?
• What is the property really worth? Am I paying too much?
• How do I find a property that’s right for me? They seem to be snapped up so quickly.
• How do I remain anonymous when buying a property?

If this sounds like you and you want to know how to buy the property you want for the best possible price, contact the team at Synergy on 03 9827 3355 or email enquiries@synergybsm.com.au.

Can you help me reduce the time and leg work needed to find and
buy a property?

YES. When you work with a buyer’s advocate, all the leg work is done for you. While an average buyer might spend 50–100 hours by themselves inspecting - often unsuitable - properties, following up agents, arranging building inspections and being frustrated by misquoted prices, Synergy buyer advocates streamline this process by only showing you a shortlist of the most suitable properties for you. Then we also guide you through the negotiating, auction and post-auction process.

How do I know if it’s the right property for me? Will it be a good investment? Will I be able to get a decent rental return?

Property acquisition needs to be based on sound investment principles and lifestyle choice. Clarifying your goals up front is therefore paramount. Whether purchasing a home or investment property, buyers have individual preferences for the type of property they want to purchase, which suburb(s) they prefer, their investment objectives and, of course, budget.

An investment property needs to provide capital growth and good rental return. To achieve this you need to buy the right property, in the right area, for the right price. Not all properties offer the same growth. If you’re purchasing for investment, it’s critical that you purchase the best performing property possible.

Investing in property takes skill and time – both of which Synergy buyer advocates have in abundance! We’ll help you work out the right property strategy for your needs and then guide you to achieve your property purchase goals.

How do I effectively negotiate with real estate agents to purchase a property?

A real estate agent’s job is to sell you a property for the highest possible price. High pressure sales techniques can be overwhelming for many purchasers.

While we don’t operate as a traditional sales-focused real estate agency, we do have a real estate agent’s licence and therefore understand their industry. This enables us to negotiate on your behalf with transparency and independence. Synergy buyer’s advocates sit between you and the real estate agent, asking questions and making sure you have everything you need to make the best purchase decision.

Can you help me to bid at auction or negotiate a property purchase?

YES. This is one of the major benefits of working with an experienced Synergy buyer advocate. Regardless of whether you’re a negotiating novice or negotiate every day for a living, negotiating for your own property or bidding at auction can be a daunting task.

Synergy's buyer advocates are specialised property negotiators. They have attended thousands of auctions and have successfully completed more than 1200 property transactions. We’ll work for you to help you to make sure you get the best result possible.

What is the property really worth? Am I paying too much?

There is always doubt about advertised selling prices. Without knowing what the property is really worth you can’t begin to negotiate a price. Synergy buyers agents can independently appraise the property and assess its current market value using due diligence and appraisal tools. This provides a benchmark for what the property is really worth and enables you to negotiate the price you are willing to pay for the property with confidence.

How do I find a property that’s right for me? They seem to be snapped up
so quickly.

Did you know that many of the best properties sold are not even advertised?

Because we have strong alliances with a large network of real estate agents, Synergy’s buyer advocates often have access to properties you don’t want to miss – before they hit the market, In fact, around one in four of the properties that Synergy buyers advocates purchase on behalf of clients are never actually advertised.

How do I remain anonymous when buying a property?

Being anonymous when purchasing a property can often put you in a stronger negotiating position. Whether you are in the public eye, or simply want to buy the property next door, working with a Synergy buyer advocate is an ideal way to confidentially secure the property
you want.
