Everything you need to know about working with a buyers agent

About Buyers Agents

A buyers agent works exclusively on behalf of the property buyer — not the seller. We handle every step of the buying process: initial strategy, property search (on-market and off-market), inspections, due diligence, negotiation, and settlement coordination. We are legally required to act in your best interests at all times — there is no conflict of interest.

A selling agent is hired by the vendor and is legally obligated to achieve the highest possible price for the seller. A buyers agent is hired by you and is legally obligated to act in your best interests — securing the best possible property at the lowest possible price with the most favourable contract terms. Using the selling agent as your advisor is a fundamental conflict of interest that most buyers don't realise.

Even experienced buyers benefit from a buyers agent — particularly for access to off-market properties, professional negotiation against career salespeople, and data-driven suburb/asset selection. Many of our clients are seasoned investors who use us specifically because they understand the value of professional market intelligence and negotiation leverage that comes from transacting regularly in the market.

Yes. More Sigma is a licensed Buyers Agent powered by Leverage Listings. We hold the appropriate real estate licences required to operate as a buyers agent and represent clients in property transactions across Australia. We operate with complete transparency and are fully accountable to the relevant state licensing authorities.

Fees & Costs

Buyers agent fees in Australia typically range from a flat fee to a percentage of the purchase price (generally 1–2.5%). Your initial strategy consultation with More Sigma is completely free with no obligation. We provide a clear fee proposal upfront before any engagement — no hidden costs, no surprises. Contact us for a personalised quote based on your specific needs and property budget.

Yes — 100% free, no obligation. The initial strategy session is our opportunity to understand your goals and for you to understand how we work. There is no pressure to engage us. You'll walk away with clarity on your property strategy regardless of whether you proceed with our services.

For investment property purchases, buyers agent fees are generally considered a capital cost and may be included in the property's cost base for CGT purposes, potentially reducing your capital gains tax when you eventually sell. We recommend confirming this with your accountant or financial adviser as tax treatment depends on your specific situation.

In most cases, yes — significantly so. Our negotiation expertise and market knowledge routinely saves clients $30,000–$80,000+ compared to what they would have paid buying independently. Beyond the purchase price saving, there is the value of avoiding the wrong property (a far more costly mistake), accessing off-market deals with no competition, and the time saved across months of searching. The fee pays for itself many times over.

The Buying Process

An off-market property is one that is available for sale but not publicly listed on platforms like realestate.com.au or Domain. Vendors choose to sell this way for privacy, speed, or to avoid the costs of a full marketing campaign. Buyers agents with strong agent relationships get exclusive access to these properties before the general public — often allowing buyers to purchase with zero competition at fair or below-market prices.

This varies depending on your brief, target market, and property availability. Most clients purchase within 4–12 weeks of engagement. Some clients with very specific requirements or in competitive submarkets take longer. We will give you a realistic timeline expectation during your free strategy session based on your specific goals and market conditions.

Yes. Auction bidding is one of our core services. We develop a bidding strategy, conduct pre-auction due diligence and comparable sales analysis, set clear budget limits, and bid on your behalf on the day — removing the emotional pressure and psychological tactics selling agents use to push bidders beyond their limits. We operate with a calm, disciplined approach to protect your interests.

Yes — we provide end-to-end support from initial consultation through to settlement day. This includes liaising with your solicitor/conveyancer, coordinating building and pest inspections, reviewing contract conditions, and ensuring all parties meet their obligations on time. We do not disappear after signing contracts — we are with you the entire way.

Investors & SMSF

Absolutely — investment property is one of our primary areas of expertise. We analyse suburbs for capital growth indicators, rental yield, vacancy rates, infrastructure pipelines, and population growth drivers. We target cash flow positive or high-growth assets aligned to your financial goals. Our approach is data-driven, not emotion-driven — we identify where your money will work hardest long-term.

Yes. We have experience guiding SMSF clients through the strict compliance requirements of purchasing property through a self-managed super fund, including Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangements (LRBAs). We work closely with your SMSF accountant and trustee to ensure the acquisition is compliant with SIS Act requirements and structured correctly from day one.

Yes — interstate purchasing is one of the most common situations we handle. We become your eyes and ears on the ground, conducting all property inspections and local market research on your behalf. We provide detailed inspection reports, video walkthroughs, and clear communication at every step. You don't need to travel — we manage the entire process remotely.

We work with buyers nationally — including Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and beyond. Whether you are looking to purchase in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Moreton Bay, or other major markets, we can assist. Contact us to discuss your specific location requirements and we will outline how we can help.
