The Invaluable Relationship Between Buyer's Agents & Sales Agents With James Keelan

The role of an independent buyers agent and selling agent in a property transaction is often misunderstood.
 
These valuable, professional relationships can be the key ingredient to an efficient and successful result for both the buyer and seller and are often underestimated due to a lack of understanding both within the industry and the wider marketplace.
 
In this episode we chat with James Keelan, a high performing residential selling agent with almost a decade of real estate experience. James is well known on the Central Coast and part of a much larger and successful team at Property Central.
 
We have worked with James and many of his colleagues to secure homes for our clients. We enjoy their forward thinking, collaborative and proactive approach, which benefits their sellers, our clients and the industry in general.
 
Here’s what to expect:
🔹The role of an independent buyer’s agent and selling agent and the misconceptions within the industry.
🔹 Current market conditions and what to expect in 2024?
🔹 How selling agents value property and how to interpret the price guides.
🔹 The migration North is real!
🔹 How we help our clients by working collaboratively

The Most Common Misconceptions Of A Buyer’s Agent

When we launched our business in 2020 we were surprised by the lack of education and understanding in regards to what a buyer’s agent actually does…..not just from buyers but from other industry professionals.

Do they add value, or are they just an additional cost? We'll be separating fact from fiction, debunking common misconceptions, and shedding light on how we help our clients in their buying journey!
