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.

Emilio was very quick to understand the brief and provide the necessary tools, feedback and support which created trust and made it feel easy to make an informed decision. This was during a time that it is far from easy to buy any property in Brisbane!! Thank you! and highly recommend Emilio, Setlr and the team 🙂

Chantelle Anne09/08/2024Our brief was tough: we wanted a property in a very tightly held suburb with the potential for both living in and improving or rebuilding, all within a specific price range.

Sam Battel09/08/2024Emi and Simon are always very easy to deal with. As an agent, communication and transparency are critical to a mutually beneficial outcome and they always deliver on these fronts. A pleasure to work with you.
Rachel “Rachel E” E05/08/2024Setlr have helped me to secure an investment property over the last weeks and Simon, Amber, Ericka and the team have been incredible in understanding my brief and finding just what I needed, within a month of looking. As an interstate buyer, I needed the local expertise, knowledge and bodies on the ground. However, I also got the most speedy, efficient and streamlined experience of buying. This is my 7th purchase over 20+ years and Simon and the team made this one the easier. Each property was reviewed in great detail, with video walk throughs talking to suitability, rental value and detailed local knowledge of the ups and downs. The tools the team use keep you very much part of the process, with minimal investment of time. I also greatly appreciated the referral to excellent local lawyers and property managers. Awesome small and friendly team, very much recommend. Rachel, Sydney.
Remy Durieux02/08/2024Fantastic communication & great understanding of the market. Emilio’s desire to help his clients is evident.
Justin Pitman29/07/2024We had an excellent experience working with Simon, Emilio and the SETLR team. They took the time to understand our requirements and preferences and were essential in us making the right decisions. Communication was good and the tools used helped us narrow our searches down quickly with good supporting information. Finally, and most importantly Emilio and Simon were really easy to work with, they were open and honest in discussion, provided great feedback and as interstate buyers made the whole experience easier. Highly recommended. Thankyou team - we are really looking forward to moving into our new home in Brisbane !!
