.Auction advice for property buyers from Your Australian Property
When Your Australian Property Buyers Agents was bidding for a client at auction in the Melbourne suburb of Kew the auctioneer was holding court and three of his colleagues were placed among the bidders to assist buyers in attendance, as often happens.
From the buyers perspective is this a good or bad thing?
Should a Buyer take advice from a selling agent? Hopefully the auctioneer can answer all relevant questions prior to the auction commencing. In an ideal world Buyers should be able to bid in an open and transparent auction process.
In actual fact what happened was that all of the selling agents isolated the Buyers who were bidding and urged them to bid higher and higher as the auction progressed.
Despite the selling agents’ best efforts, two Buyers knew they’d reached their limit and withdrew from bidding. The third, a young couple, were then pressured to reconsider their limit multiple times by the oldest and most experienced selling agent in attendance, who happened to be the auctioneer’s father.
As an experienced Buyer’s Agent and licenced real estate agent with over 30 years’ experience, I have placed bids at many of auctions for my clients. I sensed that these young buyers were quite stressed, making hurried calculations, struggling to decide and ultimately bidding as they were pressed to do.
Outbidding me they purchased the property, paying quite a high price for the property and one that we were not prepared to pay on behalf of our clients as independent and professional Buyer’s Agents and having done thorough property research and due diligence.
So Buyers, remember the Selling Agent works for the Seller not for you. The more you pay for the $purchase price, generally the more they get paid and the happier their vendor is, generating more referrals for them. Selling Agents don’t work for or represent you. They don’t care if the bank won’t value the property at the purchase price and you have a lending shortfall. They don’t care if you extend yourselves and can’t go out to dinner or have a holiday once you move in.
Please consider using a reputable, independent Buyers Agent. They should have vast experience in the Real Estate Industry and be a Licenced Real Estate Agent. You pay them for their advice and representation and they have a duty of care to you, not the Vendor/Seller of the property.
