Should You Use a Buyers Agent?

Scouting Australia Podcast

In this much-anticipated episode, Sam Gordon and Jimmy Ibrahim sit down with APS’ senior buyers agents Morgan Holmes and Jason Titus to deep dive into the reasons why you should or shouldn’t use a buyers agent. One of the most important caveats in this discussion is the difference in the caliber of buyers agents in the market today.
They explore the principles that drive successful buyer-agent relationships, the importance of proven track records, and the deep market insights that only come with extensive experience. From countless hours spent researching neighbourhoods to hands-on involvement in transactions, they break down the factors that shape their expert opinions. Tune in to learn how to tap into the expertise of the top 1% of buyers agents for the best possible outcomes in the property market.
