Buyers Agent Process

Contact Travis at Blue Key Buyers Agents

Initial discovery call

Depending on your schedule and geographical location, our first meeting is arranged to either meet in person, via a zoom chat or a phone call if that is easier. It’s a no obligation chance for us to work out if we might be a good fit to work together and start your property hunt.

The general discussion of the meeting will be: You share your current situation and what it is you are trying to achieve and any time frames you are working towards. The type of property that you are wanting to purchase and budget. I explain the services that I offer, fees and what you can expect throughout the process. I will also answer any questions or concerns that you might have about using a buyers agent.

This is where it helps to have a Pre-Approval in place from your chosen lender or broker so that we can get straight to work. If you are yet to organise finance we can help align you with a trusted investment savvy mortgage broker.

The journey begins

Should you decide to use our services, we both sign our agreements and the engagement fee is payable. You will need to complete a Client Brief form, which is a detailed profile of your specific property requirements, along with both short term and long term goals. This will assists us in narrowing down the type of property that will make the short-list.

The property hunt

Once we receive your Client Brief form we will get straight to work. This is where Blue Key Buyers Agents truly shine.

Many properties are publicly advertised for sale, many are not. Approximately 25% of the properties that we purchase are Off Market or Pre Market listings. We have extensive Real Estate Networks which gives you access to more properties than those simply advertised on the internet. For investors, we search Australia wide only targeting investment grade properties that will fit your short term and long term goals.

For owner occupiers wanting to find their dream home, owners are contacted directly. Travis will also letter drop on behalf of his clients in those highly sought after suburbs. What you may not know is there are home owners that are willing to sell, for the right price, and they will avoid selling agents fees.

Once a suitable property has been identified based on your individual needs and goals, we will inspect the property and conduct our thorough due diligence check list. An extensive report which includes an appraisal of the property’s market value will be assembled.

The list

A short list of potential properties is presented to you along with our reports, if you are located interstate/overseas or are unable to attend an inspection, Travis can provide you with photos and videos showcasing the true nature and condition of the property.

Strategic Negotiation

Once we have selected a property, Travis will implement tough negotiation strategies, whether it’s at Auction, negotiated before Auction or Private Sale.

Not only is the price of the property negotiated but also the terms and conditions. Our aim is to secure the chosen property as quickly as possible, while providing you with the best possible outcome.

Arranging building and pest inspection

The next step is to arrange a building and pest inspection. My team and I will coordinate all required inspections, using our trusted building and pest inspectors.

Managing contracts and paperwork

Your contract documents will be managed throughout the settlement period in conjunction with your nominated legal representative. If you are purchasing interstate we can help align you with a conveyancer in the area.

Although we understand that once contracts are signed, the purchase becomes that of a legal nature, my team and I will oversee all aspects where possible, to ensure the purchase progresses smoothly through to settlement.

The exchange and settlement

Travis will keep you up to date every step of the way and help guide you through the process until settlement. We will work with your conveyancer and broker to ensure that the special terms in the contract are satisfied.
During the settlement process my team and I will facilitate the handover to your chosen property manager and assist with preparing the property for tenancy. Travis will also attend the pre-settlement inspection right before settlement just to make sure that nothing has been missed or damaged during the settlement period.

When the contract becomes unconditional the success fee is payable to Blue Key Buyers Agents. Travis will continue to provide ongoing support for the remainder of the settlement period.
