FIRST HOME BUYERS

WE SPECIALISE IN HELPING FIRST HOME BUYERS

Whilst we now work with Investors and Home Buyers from Interstate and Internationally, Property Home Base was originally formed to assist First Home Buyers. Before Property Home Base entered the marketplace, there was NO affordable Service to assist these Buyers. Our Buyers Agents have led the way, and will always be committed to keeping our low-flat fee Service available for all First Home Buyers.

​

The one benefit that all of our services offer, and the one that can potentially save you thousands, is skill of NEGOTIATION. Negotiating skills play a large part in securing a property. You need to know the true value of the home and the area. You need to understand when and how to make offers and complete a Contract of Sale. Knowing when to “push in”, and when to “pull back” in a negotiation is a skill that can only be acquired after working in an industry for many years. Timing is everything. Having your Buyers Agent's insider knowledge as to how different agencies work (how they take offers, how they negotiate, how they appraise properties, who is on their team). Having a Buyers Agent's finger on the pulse of the market in all of the various suburbs – on a daily basis – helps to understand market trends with pricing so you won’t over pay.
