Buying property in Sydney

Buying a property in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs

As with many things recently, not many of us predicted the rise in prices in an already crazy property market! One area that’s had plenty of attention is Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, from the Harbour down to Bondi and beyond. If you’re working away from home as an expat and want to be in the Sydney property market – or you’re keen to upgrade or downgrade an existing property in Sydney – working with a buyers’ agent who can help at each stage of the process is a smart move.

Getting help from someone on the ground

Buying property on the ground is super stressful, especially in the sought-after Sydney suburbs, and trying to do this remotely is even more so. BuyEast Agency is a company that aims to “take away the stress of purchasing a property and make it pleasurable”.

Co-founder Mark Cadry says that, as buyers’ agents, the BuyEast team “do more due diligence than anyone else, working pretty much round the clock and on weekends to make sure we get the right property for our clients”. They’ve built up relationships with realtors in the area and know who to talk to, even before properties go on the market.

Getting this kind of access to premarket opportunities and having someone negotiate for you is a huge help. And they do so much more too. “We basically live and breathe the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney!” says Mark.

Instead of competing against each other, these buyers’ agents work together to get the best opportunities at the best possible price. Using them will give you a VIP service and get you ahead of the game – which is even more important when you’re not in the same country.

How BuyEast Agency can help

Let’s look at some of the specific services they can assist with.

• They’ll source properties based on the agreed brief, and carry out all due diligence, searches and contract reviews.
• Along with providing feedback on the property value and liaising with all the parties involved – owners, solicitors, agents and inspectors – they will also advise on the best time make an offer on the property.
• Especially important if you’re not in the country, they will attend pre-settlement inspections with unlimited inspection videos and bid for you at auctions if necessary, using FaceTime for these ‘live’ inspections and auctions. They’ll also liaise with local services once you’ve bought.

So if you’re looking to buy a property in Sydney, using these buyers’ agents will give you constant access to a team who can provide all the advice and action you need to make your purchase a reality.
