Is it worth using a property finder?

We thought to go a bit more deeply into what we do and why it is worth using a property finder.

First of all, let's try to understand what is a property finder.

Moving house can be one of the most stressful things you can do in life. But it doesn’t have to be.

If you’ve never heard of a property finder before, don’t worry – you’re not alone! A property finder also called buying agent or search agent, is a property professional who works on behalf of the buyer, working solely for him making his interest during all transactions.

A property finder will help you select the "right one" taking control of negotiations, to ensure that you achieve the best deal possible.

How Does A Property Finder Work?

By choosing to work with a property finder, you will finally avoid all those viewings of unsuitable properties. No more appointments to a house to discover that it looks completely different to how it was advertised in the portals. Instead, the property finder will make all the viewings on your behalf providing feedback, as well as a video, a property finder will then shortlist only the properties that suit your requirements and needs joining you on final viewings and to provide further advice and guidance.

You will be able to save valuable time and money on travel and waste of energy.

A property finder’s contacts with local agents mean that they are often able to view ‘off-market’ properties that you otherwise wouldn’t hear about. Furthermore, a buying agent has considerable knowledge of school catchment areas, travel routes, local sports facilities and much more.

Who Uses Property Finders?

A professional property finder works with everyone, from first-time buyers to investment buyers, with a wide range of budgets. As well as standard residential properties, we have extensive experience in international investment with precious contacts in Italy, Spain, France and Malta.

You can choose a complete property-finding service or select, for example, a professional consultation just to orient you in your property search.

What are a Buyer Agent's fees?

A property finder would typically charge a Retaining Fee followed by a Success Fee. The Retaining Fee partly covers the search agent's time and travel costs to commence your search, and it also serves as a sign of commitment between both parties.
