Hi @knightm

(this assumption is based upon your post over in buy swap sell https://www.propertyinvesting.com/topic/5023764-wanted-old-opted-in-data-bases-to-be-refeshed/) I would never personally sell my list, and I imagine the others here would not either as our clients signed up in good faith not expecting to be spammed by someone else.

Hi @knightm,

PS @Benny and mods I assume this is ok but if not please delete.

No issue from where I sit. Providing a service and helping out members are both to be applauded.

Wow. I didn’t expect so many responses! That’s awesome. Thanks everyone. The properties are in regional NSW close to a major city. Have low vacancy rates etc. and have down research on the area and i think it is a place good for investing as a newbie. Both Freestanding houses. I am buying and holding for now and see how we go. Purchase price is…[Read more]

A new investor (@markae) was using the forum as a sounding board, putting his thoughts “out there” about what he was planning, and seeking responses from more experienced investors.

BuyersAgent (@knightm) responded with a very useful and considered answer, and here it is:-…[Read more]

Hi @knightm,

I don’t know if the like system can be challenged or removed when used inappropriately?

Well, as promised, I went looking and asking. Initial enquiries were not looking good, so Admin went digging further. This then led to some issue with the current supplier, so Admin is now on the lookout for a resolution.

The old system i…[Read more]

@Knightm, well the reason is because NSW is already expensive mate. Hence I’m looking for another state for cheaper option but with more population growth potential.

Hi @knightm,

I don’t know, but I’ll see what I can find out…..

Benny

@knightm Thanks for the quick responses. Appreciate the help. I will explore the options.

Hi Kennedy,
Welcome aboard the good ship PI.com. You have come to a good place :)

I wish I had been as driven as you at the age of 20. I didn’t find out about this stuff until I was in my 40’s !! I had an inkling, but I didn’t chase it back then. You’ll be sweet, because you are starting early.

I like @knightm‘s ideas – main thing…[Read more]

@knightm thanks for the response mate,
In all honestly we have only just scraped the tip of the ice berg with APAS. We only have had our first consultation and have booked in for our second early next week to discuss in further details about potential properties in which state and suburb along with a more detailed break down of our finances…[Read more]

@knightm I emailed my contact again and he confirmed that he *did not pay* the buyer’s agent!
So, based on the information everyone has provided, it could be that the person claming to be a buyer’s agent was not in fact a ‘real’
BA. I was not really in a position to say anything about this to the guy (after all, he has bought the place now).…[Read more]

Thank you @knightm, yours is a helpful response.
I did search the forum but obviously what I am looking for is not too easy to find.
I had not heard of REBAA but I will also look into that, thanks!
Also your question (1) about the buyer’s agent sounds interesting, my contact said that no fee was payable except on sale.
Not sure if he paid the BA…[Read more]

So sorry the original question hasn’t been answered Helen. If you do a general buyers agent search in this forum and spend enough time reading there are some recommendations that are free and independent. To find more in-depth reviews you might need to do some google searches, do a little more digging inside this forum or the other major…[Read more]

Well it looks like my post has now been hijacked,not bad for a first attempt at a question on this forum!
@knightm I have searched the forum and have not found anything helpful from anyone who actually *used* a buyer’s agent.
Which was my question.
I guess there isn’t anyone on the forum able to share this experience, a shame. I expect that…[Read more]
