I get by with a little help from my friends...

So you want to buy a property?

Whether you want to buy something to call home or buy something to create another source of income - property is one of the most exciting yet complicated and stressful purchases you will make in your lifetime.

Yet the odd thing about the Australian market is that we generally purchase property alone. Sure, you may be in a partnership with a loved one or a family member, but if one of you are not dedicating time to research and knowing the 'ins and outs' of the property market, you can easily make mistakes that are avoidable.

Maybe you own or know someone close who owns a property today? If you/they wanted to sell that property, would you hire a professional? I know most would answer "Of course, I would be calling my local recommended Real Estate Agent."

Now, let's fast forward you have engaged the Real Estate Agent to advise you on the sale of your property, and to help you get it ready for some inspection times. The inspections happen, and people walk through the houses inquiring about many face value observations.

"That's an interesting choice of carpet."

"Why are the blinds this colour?"

If they have questions, they will go and ask the Real Estate Agent for answers. Now, of course, this agent is working for the party who is selling the house so the buyer should be wary of the responses they are getting. But is this actually the case?

Enter - the buyer's advocate. While this is still a relatively small yet unknown profession in Australia, it has been made prominent by shows like the Block.

Buyer's Advocates are working in your corner, to get you the right property at the right price. Think of them as the brilliant friend who is helping you out to ensure one of the most significant investments you make in your lifetime will serve you and your lifestyle.
