Buying a Home in MELBOURNE? Stack the Odds in Your Favour.
If you’ve been out at open homes in Melbourne lately, you’ll know the competition is fierce. Buyers going it alone are not just up against other families, they’re also up against real estate professionals.
That’s right. When you’re buying, the other side of the transaction has expertise and strategy on their side. If you want to level the playing field, you need to understand who you’re really competing with.
The First Challenge: Real Estate Agents
It’s no secret: real estate agents work exclusively for the seller.
They’re paid by the vendor and their sole job is to secure the best possible price and terms for their client. And they’re good at it. They do this day in and day out, building trust and rapport with buyers so you feel comfortable… but never forget who they’re really representing.
Even if an agent is your friend, their loyalty lies with the vendor. That’s how the system works.
The Second Challenge: Buyers With an Advocate
The second challenge might surprise you. Increasingly, you’re not just competing against other families like yours, you’re competing against buyers who already have a buyer’s agent on their side.
That means while you’re trying to piece together recent sales, second-guess price guides, and read the play, someone else is working with professional representation. They’ve got:
Access to off-market properties that never hit the portals.
A clear understanding of true value based on comparable sales.
A strategy in place for negotiation or auction.
Someone taking the emotion out of the process so they don’t overpay.
It’s not a fair fight. Which is exactly the point.
Why Go It Alone?
When you think about it, buying a home is the single biggest financial decision most families will ever make. Yet many people still go it alone, facing down experienced selling agents and sometimes even competing buyers with professional advocates, without any backup.
It’s a little like going to court without a lawyer. You wouldn’t risk it. So why risk it when millions of dollars and your family’s future home are on the line?
