Market knowledge and insights

Commercial real estate agencies specialise in the commercial property market. They have deep knowledge of market trends, property values ​​and investment opportunities. Their expertise allows them to identify profitable prospects, make informed investment decisions, and to better assess any opportunity against other properties that may be available.

‍

Save time and effort

Researching, evaluating and negotiating commercial property transactions can be a time-consuming and daunting task. Hiring a buyer's agent saves you valuable time and effort by entrusting this process to professionals who handle these tasks efficiently. It streamlines the buying process so you can focus on other aspects of your investment strategy.

‍

Access to off-market deals

Buying agencies often have access to a wide range of off-market deals not available to the public. Leveraging their networks and connections may provide unique investment opportunities hidden from the general market.

‍

Negotiating skills

Negotiating commercial property transactions requires a delicate touch and strategic thinking. Buyers agents are experienced negotiators who have negotiated deals before and know when a certain type of vendor might be receptive to certain negotiation tactics. They also help remove emotion from any transaction; being able to remain calm and objective can help secure favourable terms on your behalf and ensure you get the best possible value for your investment. 

‍

Due diligence and risk mitigation

Thorough due diligence is critical in commercial property transactions. Buyers agents conduct comprehensive evaluations of potential properties to identify risks and assess financial viability. This includes market research to ensure that the sales rates and lease rates are fair, the building is structurally sound and that it complies with building and council regulations amongst other aspects. This thorough due diligence helps mitigate against unexpected future expenses, and helps to ensure that your investment will reach its goals.

‍

Network and industry connections

Buying agents have extensive networks and connections within the commercial property industry. These connections include solicitors, insurance brokers, mortgage brokers, tradesmen, building inspectors with whom they have frequently done business with before. Leveraging their network can provide valuable insights and opportunities that are otherwise inaccessible and frequently save you money which offsets their fees.  Using their established connections can also enable deals to be completed faster, which can give you greater negotiating power in hot markets.  Finally, when selling agents know that they have worked with a buyers agent before, they can reassure vendors that they have worked with the buyers agent and that they are likely to complete the transaction, which in a competitve market can be the difference between securing a deal or not.

‍

Tailored strategies

Every investor has their own goals and requirements. Buyers agents are aware of this and will adapt their strategy to your specific needs. Whether you're looking for short-term buy, develop and flip, or a  long-term buy and hold in a premium suburb, good buyers agents can create a customised strategy that fits your objectives.

‍

Market assessment & analysis

Buying agents stay up to date with market trends, economic indicators and industry forecasts. This knowledge provides comprehensive market analysis and insights to aid in investment decisions. Their expertise helps you navigate changing market conditions and to capitalise on opportunities as they arise.

From market knowledge and insights, time-saving benefits, accessing off market deals and negotiation expertise, buyers agents can provide valuable support throughout the purchasing process.
