investment property in their lives
- The average home owner buys a house just once
every 7 to 10 years
- The average real estate agent is selling
properties every day
When you appoint SNAP
Property Buying Support as your Buyers’ Advocate, we
can help restore the balance and ensure that you are
properly represented through all stages of the buying
process including the critical (and potentially
costly) price negotiation phase.
Benefits of Engaging a Buyers’ Advocate
1. We Save You Time
Finding the right properties takes time and needs to be carefully planned and executed. Once a property is selected – there is then a tremendous workload arranging solicitors, conveyancers, building inspectors, pest inspectors, valuers, quantity surveyors, accountants, mortgage brokers and more. Your SNAP Buyers' Advocate manages this entire process to free you up to do what you do best, and to achieve the optimum outcome in a far shorter time.
2. We Save You Money
Our negotiation skills and impartiality ensure a lower purchase price than an average buyer can achieve on their own. The lower price negotiated will generally more than cover any Buyers’ Advocate fees.
3. We Find You the Right Properties
You may have limited time or experience in property searching, or just have difficulty finding the right property on your own. Our unique blend of online and real world search techniques ensure that appropriate candidate properties are uncovered for your review (without you being dragged from one unsuitable property to the next). We also access unlisted properties that the average buyer will never see.
4. We Save You Stress
Dealing with agents, frustrating fruitless searches, difficult negotiations, coordinating the movements of inspectors, conveyancers, brokers etc – these can all be stressful situations. Your SNAP Buyers' Advocate removes the stress by acting on your behalf throughout much of this process.
5. We are Completely Independent
You don’t need to worry about conflicting priorities or hidden agendas. Our mission is to fully understand your goals and then find you the ideal property for the optimum price, in a timeframe that suits your needs.
We focus solely on the buyer and receive no compensation or commission from any related parties. |
Reasons to Choose SNAP as YOUR Buyers’ Advocate
1. Focused on One Thing – Supporting the Buyer
We don’t try to be experts in accounting, valuing, conveyancing, mortgage broking, insurance, building inspections or any of the other specialty areas associated with the purchase of property. As Buyers' Advocates we focus on the one thing we know best – Searching, Negotiating And Purchasing residential property, and project managing the entire process seamlessly. Our network of professional specialists is also at your disposal.
2. Real World Experience
We have genuine recent experience in property purchase and investment. Our director – Scott – started investing in property 16 years ago at age 26, and his recent personal investment property purchases place him in the top 0.2% of Australian households.
We don’t just talk about it – we do it.
3. A Published Author
Scott is a published author whose knowledge and experience of the property markets forms the foundation of his new book “The First Timer’s Guide to Australian Property Investment”.
4. Solid Professional Project Management background
Prior to focusing full time on property investment, Scott had a 10 year history running complex projects (from $1m to over $80m) as a Senior Project Manager within the Coles Myer organisation. His professional qualifications in project management have now been tailored and honed to what for many people will be the most expensive “project” of their lives – buying a property.
5. Honesty and Integrity
In an industry that has more than its fair share of dishonest operators, SNAP prides itself on complete honesty and integrity in all of our dealings.
