Buying agent: expert partner when purchasing a property
Buying a property? The Real Estate Agency acts as an expert buying agent and offers a comprehensive service package that fully supports and unburdens buyers. At every stage of the purchasing process, the buying agent serves as the professional link between your wishes, market supply, and available opportunities. Read more below about the responsibilities of the buying agent and what you can expect from our services.
Inventory & positioning assessment
When a client engages The Real Estate Agency, the buying agent begins with a thorough intake. We focus on housing preferences, budget, preferred location, lifestyle, and any specific property requirements (such as condition, layout, or plot size). These wishes are then assessed against the current market, and adjustments may sometimes be recommended. Next, the buying agent creates a search profile and analyses the current market conditions.
Selection & viewings
Based on the defined search profile, the buying agent selects suitable properties and simultaneously keeps a close eye on opportunities that may remain under the radar. The buying agent also organises and attends viewings, providing on-the-spot advice regarding the condition of the property, maintenance, structural aspects, and market value. Irrelevant options are filtered out, creating clarity and focus so that the client only sees properties that match the agreed criteria.
Advice & negotiation
After the viewings, the advisory phase follows. The buying agent analyses the technical, legal, and financial aspects, reviews structural reports and/or consults specialists where necessary, and translates all insights into a strategic offer. The bidding strategy is defined in consultation: what price to offer, which conditions to include, and what timelines to set. The buying agent then conducts the negotiations, safeguards negotiation leverage, and strives for the best possible terms for the client.
Finalising the agreement
Once both parties have reached an agreement on price and conditions, The Real Estate Agency ensures that everything is correctly recorded in the purchase agreement. We check the contingencies, monitor deadlines, and guide the signing of the contract. We remain involved throughout the notary process: overseeing the transfer, reviewing the deed and settlement statement, and inspecting the condition in which the property is delivered. Any discrepancies, defects, or outstanding issues are immediately communicated and documented.
Aftercare & client relationship management
The Real Estate Agency values long-term client relationships. After the transfer, we remain available as a buying agent for questions, advice, and/or support. If any housing issues arise later, renovation questions come up, or matters such as leasehold need attention, we continue to be your point of contact. This provides you with security, as our quality and service remain in place even after the purchase has been completed.
Pricing & transparency
The Real Estate Agency applies clear fee agreements for buying assistance. The fee—known as the purchase fee—is agreed upon in advance, based on the scope of the services and the complexity of the assignment. Transparency is key: you will not be faced with any surprises.
