I attended a recent masterclass, and there steve suggested hooking up with a time partner or a money partner (depending what you lack).
Personally I lack the time.
So rather than try and find someone to look for property and have to put complete trust in a stranger. My husband and I had looked at using a buyers agent. [blush2]
I have looked at two different ones – ‘Australian House Hunters’ and ‘Positive Realestate’.
They are rather expensive (finders fee of around $6000 per house, plus joining fees), and I wonder if it is worth using them.
Has anyone used or had experience with either of the two buyers agents above? Or have any comments?

I’m logged on under my sister but my email is [email protected].
I have spoken to Australian House Hunters and they sound very good but I personally haven’t had any experience with them.
Depending on where u want 2 buy. If Victoria, I can personally recommend Metropole Properties. Check out http://www.metropole.com.au. Very professional, great communication and will finder you a ripper of a property if you want capital growth. Send me an email if you want more info.

If you do a search on buyers agents, or the two specific agencies, you should find responses as the question has been asked before.

WakeHi Lisajason,
My wife and I started Australian House hunters about 3 years ago to assist time poor and inexperienced investors with sourcing property around Australia and the USA, doing due dilligence and looking after all other aspects of property investing. A large part of this is educating our clients on the property game and assisting them in building a solid portfolio of properties. We take care of the whole process from finding the property through to the settlement and establishment of property managers.
This is a service that suits a lot of new buyers and others looking for that little edge on the competition especially in a market as hot as it is. We also have access to a lot of properties before they hit the market which inturn gives our clients a slight advantage over others.
If you are more advanced and can do your own due dilligence, research and have the time to take care of all the logistics, for a round the same cost Sam at Positive Real Estate may be a better choice for you. Ours is a full service product where we work with you for 2 years to help you establish a foundation to build from based on your own goals. Positive Real Estate find properties and put them out to their clients via their website where you can choose what you would like, i guess in hospitality terms they are a buffet where we are ala carte with the buffet option.
If you have an established portfolio and are just looking for someone to present properties to you for you to do the rest, Positive Real Estate may be another option however for around the same cost you can employ us, a completely independant Buyer’s Agent who will design a program and source property specific to your needs.
Feel free to email or give me a call and discuss these opportunities further. Good luck with your investing and remember, “the only dumb question is the one you dont ask!”
Regards,
Mic
