Frequently Asked Questions
What Is a Buyers Agent?
Put simply, a buyers agent is a professional who represents the interests of YOU, the BUYER in a real estate transaction. They work with the buyer to find their dream home or investment property and assist with the negotiations and due diligence process to ensure a smooth and successful purchase. With their extensive knowledge of the local real estate market, they help the buyer make informed decisions and save time and money in the process.
What Are the Benefits of Using a Buyers Agent?
In short, a buyers agent provides peace of mind and helps make the home-buying process as stress-free as possible.
How? Glad you asked:
1. Expertise: A buyers agent has in-depth knowledge of the real estate market, a strong network of sales agents, and a complete understanding of the negotiation process. They are very well equipped to help clients make informed decisions.
2. Time-saving: The process of buying a property can be time-consuming, especially for those with busy schedules. A buyers agent can take care of all the legwork for you.
3. Objectivity: It's natural to become emotionally attached to a property, but a buyers agent remains neutral and can help you make a logical decision. Objectivity is especially important during the due diligence period. We'll make sure emotion doesn't ever override logic.
4. Cost savings: A buyers agent is equipped to negotiate on your behalf, which can often result in a better deal for the buyer. Whilst cost savings are usually thought of when it comes to the purchase price, there can also be significant costs savings associated with negotiating the right terms. Terms are often overlooked, but are actually just as important as the purchase price.
5. Access to properties: A buyers agent has access to properties that may not be available to the public, which increases your chances of finding the perfect property.

Client Reviews
Read about the experiences these happy home buyers had with Setlr Buyers Agents
Arna Harris2024-05-08I engaged Setler as a buyers agent to purchase a unit for my mother recently in the Hawthorne area. Simon and Emilio are professionals and were both amazing to deal with. We were very happy with the buying outcome in what is a difficult and competitive market for buyers. I don't think we would have achieved as good an outcome purchasing and negotiating alone! I'd also make note of their expertise in seamlessly connecting us to legal help and advice for thorough Body Corp searches for added peace of mind. I'd certainly recommend and use Setlr again.
Gearoid Considine2024-05-07Knowledge, experience and peace of mind they have the task at hand under control that want you will get from the team at Setlr
Emily Brial2024-05-01Setlr is a first class agency. It was an absolute pleasure working with the whole company and I could not recommend them more highly. The service, knowledge, professionalism and availability of the team was excellent. Setlr worked hard for us and found us the perfect property. I look forward to working with them again in the future.
Joshua Diener2024-04-25Great overall experience with using setlr, we were looking to find our first investment property outside of our state with little to basic understanding of the entire process. Emilio was a massive help in assisting us through the whole process and even after settlement with a very broad understanding of the Brisbane market, more than useful contacts from working in the space and a sincere passion for finding value within the market for his clients. Our property brief wasn't the easiest to navigate as it was quite split and dynamic but Emilio done a perfect job of finding something that ticked all of our boxes and met the two briefs bang in the middle which I didn't even realise would be possible. Communication and help provided throughout helped to make the whole experience as stress free and smooth as possible and would seriously recommend if you were looking to purchase property within the Brisbane region.
Justin Andrews2024-04-15Simon's and Emilio's knowledge in helping me buy the right investment property was invaluable. I would recommend them to anyone that is looking to buy.
Justin Whelan2024-03-23We engaged Simon and the Setlr team as our Buyers Agents for purchasing an investment property. Right from our initial meeting with Simon and Emillio it was evident they are both very passionate, professional and knowledgable in their approach to purchasing property in Brisbane. We came to them with a brief of what we thought we were looking to purchase, but after discussion with them around our goals, budget and risk appetite they had some suggestions on how to achieve the best results. This ment our brief was now quite different but was exactly what we needed to meet our goals. Their advise instilled a great deal of confidence in us that we had selected an exceptional team to assist in searching for a property! Emilio then took over the majority of the property search and handled everything from presenting potential properties to us, attending open homes and providing detailed feedback/ analysis of every property. His communication throughout the whole process was awesome and within a few weeks we were under contract on the perfect property! Building & Pest inspection, conveyancing, liasing with mortgage broker, real estate agent and property management was all assisted by Emilio and the Setlr team making the whole process seamless and stress-free! Especially for people that are time-poor. We have since settled on the property and are very thankful for everything they have done. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase propery in Brisbane, you will not be disappointed!
Bonnie Robertson2024-03-11We had such an amazing experience working with Emilio predominantly and Simon. The efficiency of the service for us as first time investers was amazing, I'm confident that we would not have found such a good property within the timeframe & budget that they were able to source for us We would use Setlr again on any investment opportunty in Brisbane and have already recommended to some of our close friends - which says it all imo!
Michael Anani2024-03-03The team at Setlr were very helpful in tailoring their search on my behalf to my needs and what I valued most . Emilio made it clear that he was accessible at any time to clarify/discuss any queries relating to the process from start to finish. Defo would recommend.
Will2024-01-25Simon and his team never disappoint. Great communication and Brisbane property market knowledge. Simply the best Brisbane buyers agent!
Brodie Emerton2024-01-25Simon was amazing to deal with. Not only did he find us our dream home after two weeks, (despite us searching for months prior in a tough market and missing out so many times), he was so passionate and just understood our needs. If you are hunting for a home I strongly suggest you use Simon at Setlr as your Brisbane Buyers Agent
