Why use a Buyers Advocate?

Synergy buyers advocates make buying the perfect property easy

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 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.
Synergy buyer agents have specialist experience of more than 1200 property transactions in Melbourne’s inner city and Bayside property markets. Because of this experience, we also have access to many of the best properties – often before they are publicly advertised.

What does a buyers advocate do?

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.

Synergy buyers advocates provide 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.

We take the hard work out of finding the right property and negotiating a price – researching and asking the tough questions on your behalf. We’ll help you work out:

• Is this the right property for you?

• Will it be a good investment?

• How much should you pay for it?

• How should you negotiate?

Synergy buyer agents will work with you pinpoint exactly what you’re looking for and prioritise what’s important when buying a property. Then we’ll conduct a detailed search on your behalf, discuss the most suitable and inspect a selection of them together.

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.

Once we find a property you’re interested in, our buyer’s agents conduct thorough due diligence and negotiate a purchase price. We’ll also bid at auction on your behalf. You can even remain anonymous to the agent or other bidders if you wish.

Residential and commercial investors
As experienced property managers and buyer’s agents, we’re understand what makes a good investment property. A Synergy buyer’s agent will research the market and conduct a due diligence and rental assessment of the property before negotiating to buy at the best possible price. In some cases, Synergy can even arrange to show prospective tenants through the property before settlement.
There is considerable value in diversifying your investment portfolio into the commercial sector. A well managed commercial property with a secure tenancy potentially provides excellent yields and growth.
Interstate and overseas purchasers
Synergy’s buyer agents operate in exactly the same way, regardless of whether you’re just around the corner or thousands of kilometres away. If you live interstate or overseas and want to buy in the buoyant Melbourne market, we just utilise new technology to communicate with you throughout the process. This ensures you achieve excellent results when you can’t physically be in Melbourne yourself.
Home buyers
Whether you have a growing family and need to upgrade, are looking for a change of style, or your family has grown and left home, Synergy buyer advocates can help you secure a home that’s right for your specific needs and circumstances.
Buying a property can be a daunting experience for first home buyers – dealing with real estate agents and their high pressure selling techniques, understanding the legal terms and knowing which property will prove a good investment over time. Synergy’s buyer advocates can guide you through the process and makes buying your first home an enjoyable and exciting experience – as it should be!
Business owners
Is your business expanding? No longer want to pay rent? Then it may be time to buy your own premises for your business.
Synergy’s experienced commercial buyer’s agents can search for the right property for you by tapping into our extensive network of commercial estate agents.

If you’d like further information about our fees and services for helping you to buy the property you want for the best possible price, contact the team at Synergy on 03 9425 5988 or email enquiries@synergybsm.com.au.
1. Full Service
A Full Service is suitable for clients who don’t have the knowledge and/or time to search for and negotiate purchase of the right property at the right price. This may include busy executives and interstate or overseas professionals. This service saves you time, and most importantly, money. And it means you get the best deal overall!
A Synergy buyer advocate will meet with you to take a detailed brief, then show you through a handful of properties to gain a greater understanding of your personal tastes and preferences, and refine your brief. Using this information and our six key search criteria, then we begin an extensive property search – including contacting agents for off-market properties that may
 be available.
Although we’ll keep you updated with the details of every property inspected, we’ll only show you through properties matching your brief. Once we’ve found the right property, we’ll conduct a thorough due diligence and present a written report. We’ll also conduct all negotiations and bidding on your behalf.
The buyer’s advocate fees for this service are generally calculated as a capped percentage of the purchase price.
2. Due Diligence and Negotiate/Bid
This service suits those who enjoy looking for properties, but don’t necessarily have the time or resources to research the market thoroughly and ensure that their chosen property represents good value.
Once you’ve selected your property, Synergy will conduct the due diligence and by comparison with similar properties, advise what price your selected property could be expected to achieve in the open market. After reviewing Synergy’s report, you decide on the price point you are comfortable with, Synergy will either negotiate a private sale, or bid at auction on your behalf.
The buyer’s advocate fees for this service are calculated as a percentage of the purchase price.
3. Auction Bid Only
The Action Bid Only service is suitable for those who have selected a property and conducted their own due diligence, but either wish to remain anonymous when it comes to bidding for the property, or want to engage specific bidding expertise to give them a competitive edge  on the day.
Synergy meets with the client before the auction to discuss auction tactics and a bidding limit. An experienced Synergy negotiator will then bid on the client’s behalf to secure the property and help with signing the contract.
The buyer’s advocate fees for this service are comprised of a fixed attendance rate plus a percentage of the purchase price as a success fee.
4. Residential Investment Package
The Residential Investment Package means you’re serious about finding the right property to meet your investment objectives.
As experienced property managers, we know what makes a good investment property. We are continually inspecting properties and our network of real estate agents means that Synergy’s buyer advocates often have access to properties that reflect excellent buying opportunities – before they hit the market.
We look for those properties that offer good growth prospects in selected areas and keep you up-to-date on those that are suitable for you.
The buyer’s advocate fees for this service are fixed.
