Choosing a buyer’s agent can feel like choosing a business partner. Everyone promises the world, but you’re trusting them with a life-changing purchase. What matters most isn’t how polished they sound - it’s how transparent they are when you ask tough questions.

What to ask before you commit

• Who will actually do the searching and negotiating - me or your assistant?

• How many clients are you juggling right now?

• Do you ever take payments from sellers or developers?

• How do you value properties and decide on an offer range?

• What happens if nothing suitable appears within a few months?

A good buyer’s agent won’t flinch at these. They’ll have clear, specific answers that make sense.

What makes Piper Avenue different

We work with only a handful of clients at once so each gets our full focus. There are no kickbacks, no commissions, and no hidden agendas. You deal directly with your advisor from start to finish. Every recommendation comes with supporting data - sales comps, suburb analysis, yield forecasts, and a written strategy.
We’d rather say “not this one” ten times than let you buy the wrong property once.

The takeaway

Finding a home or investment is important - but finding the right partner to guide you matters just as much. Ask the questions. Demand transparency. The right agency won’t just help you buy; they’ll help you buy well.
