Hi all, I was hoping someone could provide some advice.
I?m looking at purchasing my first investment property in Melbourne and was considering using a buyer?s agent. I?ve looked at a few companies that offer these services and I?m getting a little bit stuck. The companies I?ve spoken to thus far have the full package which is around $10,000, for that they handle everything and put forward what they feel the best investment option is. The second option is to do all the groundwork yourself and then have them step in for the negotiating process, which is significantly less, between $2,000-$3,000.
I?m apprehensive to depart with $10,000 but at the same time I?m concerned about paying overs if I?m dealing with Real Estate agents directly. I was interested to hear about other peoples experience and what you?d recommend. I?m looking to spend approximately $400,000 on the property.
