Why use a buyer's agent in Adelaide?

Moseley Square, Glenelg

A buyer's agent in Adelaide acts only for you, so the selling agent never learns your budget, your deadline or your finance position.

Go direct and you hand all three to the person paid to act against you. Adelaide adds a second problem: interstate buyers and investors now compete for the same tightly held homes, so the good ones sell quickly and often quietly.

Your position stays private until the contract is signed.
We appraise before you fall in love, so the number is set by evidence.
At auction we bid to a walk-away figure agreed with you the day before.

What does a buyer's agent cost in Adelaide?

Propertybuyer charges a fixed fee agreed before the search starts, and most Adelaide clients go from engagement to purchase in 30 to 60 days.

  1. 1

    The brief

    What you need, what you will hold to, and where. The fee is agreed here, before anything else.

  2. 2

    Search and due diligence

    On market and off. We inspect, read the contract and the building report, and appraise before you commit.

  3. 3

    Negotiate, or bid

    Private treaty or auction, we handle the agent and the room. You are never the one revealing your position.

  4. 4

    Settlement

    We stay with you to the final inspection and the keys.

Three ways to engage us

What is an off-market property in Adelaide?

Off market means a property offered to buyers' agents before or instead of a public listing, and Propertybuyer's brief goes to a database of more than 10,000 selling agents.

It is access, not a discount. Off-market stock often carries a premium because the seller is trading certainty for price, so the job is to see it early and price it correctly, not to assume it is a bargain.

Who do you buy for in Adelaide?

Propertybuyer's Adelaide agents buy for six kinds of buyer, and the brief, the search and the fee are set for each one rather than shared.

Home buyers in Adelaide

An Adelaide home buyer with a buyer's agent pays for the property, not for the competition. We shortlist against your brief, inspect on your behalf, and set the price from comparable sales rather than the campaign. When the right house draws interstate money, you are not the one bidding blind.

Investors in Adelaide

Investors use our Adelaide buyers' agents to buy for yield and growth rather than for the look of a listing. We work from the numbers: rent, vacancy, land value, and what the suburb has done over ten years. Low vacancy and lower entry prices are why interstate investors arrive here first, and the job is to buy the right street, not just the right city.

Tell us what you are looking for

Commercial buyers in Adelaide

Commercial buyers get an appraisal before the negotiation, not after it. South Australia charges no stamp duty on commercial property, which changes the numbers on every acquisition here. We buy offices, retail, industrial and mixed-use property for owner occupiers and for investors.

Tell us what you are looking for

Expats buying in Adelaide

Expats buy Adelaide property with us without flying back for it. We inspect in person, send you what we see, check the contract, and bid or negotiate on your behalf in your time zone or ours. Oscar and Catherine bought from interstate, and the process is the same from overseas.

Tell us what you are looking for

Developers in Adelaide

Developers use our Adelaide buyers' agents to find sites before they are marketed, with the planning position checked first. We source, appraise and negotiate the site.

Tell us what you are looking for

Prestige homes in Adelaide

Prestige buying in Adelaide is mostly off market, and mostly quiet. Our brief reaches the agents who hold those instructions before a campaign starts, and your name stays out of it until you choose otherwise. North Adelaide, Unley, Burnside, and the addresses that never list.

What do Adelaide clients say?

Adelaide clients, Adelaide agents. Nothing borrowed from Sydney.

"Jonathon provided a great understanding of the market in relation to my budget and the type of property I was looking for. His guidance helped me successfully purchase my investment property."

OllieWest Lakes investment, with Jonathon

"The advice and support were extremely helpful, and the strong knowledge of the local market provided valuable guidance during our property search. The combination of professionalism, local expertise, and straightforward communication made the entire experience much easier and gave us greater confidence along the way."

MickAdelaide, with Jonathon

"We've worked with Jonathon for over 30 years, and he's always been professional, reliable and easy to work with. He knows the industry well, communicates clearly, and does a great job on auction day."

Questions about buying in Adelaide

Get your questions answered. If yours is not here, please call us on 1300 655 615.

How much does a buyer's agent cost in Adelaide, and is it a percentage?

It is a fixed fee agreed upfront, set by your price range. For a full search that usually works out to around 1.5 to 2 percent of the purchase price, and around 1 percent to appraise and negotiate.

How long does it take to buy with a buyer's agent in Adelaide?

Most Adelaide purchases take 30 to 60 days from the day you engage us. Investors usually sit at the quicker end.

Do you bid at auction on my behalf?

Yes. We agree a walk-away figure with you the day before, then bid for you on the day, so your limit is never read from your face and you never bid against yourself.

What areas of Adelaide do you cover?

All of metropolitan Adelaide, from the CBD and North Adelaide to the eastern suburbs, the western beaches, and the northern and southern suburbs, plus the Adelaide Hills, the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale. For investors we buy Australia-wide.

Do you buy in regional South Australia, the Adelaide Hills or the Barossa Valley?

Yes. Jonathon Moore has worked in South Australian property for more than 30 years, and we cover the Adelaide Hills, the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale. Every shortlisted property is inspected in person, so buying outside the city never means buying blind.

How do you find off-market properties in Adelaide?

We send your brief to more than 10,000 selling agents, so many properties reach us before they are advertised, or instead of being advertised. Off market is about access, not a discount, so we still price every one from comparable sales.

Can you help me buy in Adelaide if I live interstate or overseas?

Yes. Most of our recent Adelaide purchases were for interstate investors, and you never need to fly in. We inspect every property in person, send you the video, contract, building report and our appraisal, then negotiate or bid for you.

How do you stop me overpaying for an Adelaide property?

We price every property from comparable sales before you make an offer, so the number is set by evidence, not the campaign. At auction we agree a walk-away figure with you the day before and do the bidding ourselves.

What is the difference between a buyer's agent and a buyer's advocate?

Nothing. A buyer's advocate and a buyer's agent are the same licensed role acting for the buyer only. South Australia uses both terms; New South Wales and Queensland mostly say agent.

Talk to an Adelaide buyer's agent

One conversation tells you what your budget really buys in Adelaide, and how we would run the search. Nothing to sign.
