Hi Sairah,

I do not recommend doing this for a couple of reasons

1. You will not become a “whizz kid” at property investing if you let someone else do the work for you.
2. They are not cheap and may charge a % of the final price that is not insignificant.

If you do end up using the agent you will have to sign a contract to enforce the agreement. Be careful that this agreement suits you. If you want the agent to negotiate on just the “cute” property, ensure this is in the agreement. Otherwise you might find that for a certain period you might have to pay the agent regardless of which property you end up buying and who buys it (you or the agent).

All the best with it.

Tim

P.S Only buy “cute” properties if they are great investments too!
