Frequently Asked Questions
What services can a buyer’s agent provide?
A buyers advocate or buyers agent offers various types of services such as: Searching and gathering properties that meet your criteria and then negotiating the purchase of that chosen property (whether by auction or private sale.) Depending on your needs, a buyer’s agent may search for one particular property or an entire portfolio, or they can negotiate a better price for you by compiling insights via due diligence and conducting building and pest reports on your chosen property and then developing a negotiation strategy, or they can bid for you at the auction of a property you may have found..
What is an off-market property?
An off-market property is a home that has yet to be advertised to the public and is not yet ‘on the market’. The sellers may have already engaged a selling agent and have a price point in mind, but they might be sitting back or taking their time to prepare before taking the property public. They use this time to see if their agent can attract any interested buyers before they must advertise the property publicly.
Do buyer’s agents get access to off-market properties?
Yes — particularly local buyer’s agents with strong relationships. Many quality properties are sold quietly before they ever reach the open market.
What is a Buyer’s agent?
Buyers agents and Buyers advocates are licensed and regulated real estate professionals who act on behalf of the property buyer. Their purpose is to research, find and negotiate a perfect property for their client.This is as opposed to a real estate agent who has a contract with the seller and therefore has their best interests at heart. A buyer’s agent will always negotiate in favour of you, their client.
What are the fees involved to use a Buyer’s agent?
Fees typically range from 1.8% to 3% of the purchase price, or a fixed fee, depending on service level and complexity. At Joya Nona | Buyers Agency, pricing is transparent and agreed upfront.
Is a buyer's agent really worth it?
If you value confidence, time, and professional advocacy — yes. Buyers agents help prevent overpaying, uncover off-market opportunities, and manage risk, especially in regional markets where local insight matters.
