When I was looking to buy my first property I got help from a buyer’s advocate. I went through 36 Buyer’s agents from giants like Morrell and Koren through to unheard of players like Empire Property.

I found that there are A LOT of SALES/MARKETING agents pretending to be buyer’s agents. They just sell off the plan developments and such which aren’t the best investments in my eyes.

The one company I ended up using was INFOLIO in South Melbourne. They found me a great apartment, negotiated an $18K reduction on the advertised unit price and then managed the property for me taking care of the tenancy…

Over the last 4 years my property has increased in value by 17-20% per year which means the banks are really happy to lend me more for my next one.
