What does a Buyers Agent do?
As professional Brisbane based buyer’s agents we undertake five key steps in delivering our services.
- Strategy. First we should listen to your needs, requirements and goals and to establish a “Buyer’s Brief”. A clear picture of your requirements is essential to an effective start in the acquisition process.
- Research. We will perform in depth assessment of values, rents, demographic and other relevant information with regard to the targets areas being targeted.
- Shortlist. Next we will search for properties that meet the key criteria and summarise these into a best fit shortlist. We will communicate the requirement to an extensive network of sales agents to contact to find suitable properties both on and off market. If it is suitable we will then arrange a suitable time for you to inspect the properties or shall do so on your behalf.
- Assessment of value and strategy. Once the ideal property/ies is found and agreed, we will assess the property with an initial investigation and provide a clear justification of current market value. As seasoned professionals, we offer valuable market insight about the true value of your potential purchase. You want to make a decision based on sound market knowledge.
- Negotiate and Secure. As experienced negotiators we will get the inside scoop on how the sale is progressing, which can save you a lot of money (and prevent you making an emotional purchase). Our ultimate aim is to negotiate the best price and terms to secure the property. As buyers agents in Brisbane we will coordinate all on the ground inspections required such as pest and building (or strata) inspections and help facilitate the exchange of contracts.
- Due Diligence – Particularly for commercial property acquisitions, it is vital that the buyer’s agent undertake thorough due diligence to investigate the leases, tenants and other technical matters regarding the property. This can and should be done in advance of the purchase becoming unconditional providing ample time to negotiate or if required cancel the contract should any major problems be identified.

From this list the buyer’s agent will efficiently cull the unsuitable properties leaving only the most ideal properties for consideration
The average home buyer or investor typically takes 6 to 12 months to get to know the local Brisbane market, find properties and eventually secure one (by which time a rising market may have seen prices rise over 10%). Even with all the latest apps and online tools, it still takes time to vet the vast array of options and work out what is worth inspecting.

Why Brisbane and South East Queensland?
Brisbane’s fundamentals:
1. Economy
The continued internationalisation of the Brisbane economy, combined with a local pool of talent and a collaborative business culture, provides a strong, competitive environment for Brisbane’s economy to continue to outperform its neighbours. Brisbane’s progressive and far-sighted business and economic environment gives investors more confidence in their quest to optimise investment return. This confidence is built around Brisbane’s stable political environment, its proven and forecast population and economic growth, and ongoing public and private sector commitment to building a stronger economy and intellectual capital base.
Brisbane is a major hub for large resource and energy companies, a global hub for the mining, equipment, technology and services (METS) sector, a significant centre for research and innovation, and the engine room of much of Queensland’s continued economic growth, with the local Brisbane economy predicted to grow to more than $217 billion by 2031.
Brisbane’s economy is being underpinned by major projects like Queen’s Wharf, HS Wharf, TradeCoast, Cross River Rail, the second airport runway, Brisbane Live Entertainment Precincit and the Adani Coal Mine, with most of these projects driving the economy for at least several more years in their construction phase alone.
Despite the current global uncertainty, the Brisane/Queensland property markets look to be relatively well placed in terms of fundamentals, barring the high exposure of parts of the State to the troubled international tourism sector.
Compared to New South Wales and Victoria, Queensland is less exposed to foreign education in migration flows.
Brisbane’s residential housing market also had a more subdued run-in prior to the Covid-19 shock and have relatively tight supply/demand balance. The turnover of property sales in Brisbane rebounded strongly after the April / May lockdown and property sales through June and July were nearly 20% above the same period last year.
There are many reasons to remain confident in the long term future of Brisbane and South East Queensland. Liveability, affordability, scale and future economic prospects all suggest that Brisbane is a market that will continue to prosper, along with commercial property in Brisbane.
It’s true that once we come through the Coronavirus pandemic the city is likely to be one of the best performing property markets over the next few years.
2. Demographics
The population of Greater Brisbane which encompasses the local government areas of Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, Redcliffe and Moreton Bay is approximately 2,400,000. This is less than half the population of the larger cities – Sydney and Melbourne.
Queensland is set to become home to more than seven million people over the next 40 years with the vast majority of the population to be contained within the South East corner.
Given its sub-tropical climate, the region is well known for its laidback lifestyle and enviable weather. Greater Brisbane also has far more affordable property than the southern cities of Melbourne and Sydney.
3. Brisbane’s Infrastructure
Economic growth in Queensland has accelerated in recent years with a multitude of major projects underway or within the pipeline as already mentioned, that stimulate job creation and keep the local economy moving.
One of the biggest would have to be the addition of a second runway to the Brisbane Airport and you would hope so too, at a total cost of around $1.3billion.
The project is due for completion in 2020 and after 8 years in the making, will become Australia’s largest aviation construction project.
It has already provided hundreds of construction jobs and by 2035, it is expected to generate up to 8,000 new jobs and generate an additional $5 billion dollars to the Brisbane Economy.
4. Brisbane’s Population Growth
With a current population estimated at 2,400,000, with approximately 1.75% annual growth over the last 5 years.
The population of Greater Brisbane is expected to continue to experience solid growth over the coming 10 years and beyond.
