Buyer’s Agents

“I recently purchased a property in Cammeray. I engaged a buyer’s agent after a few failed attempts of purchasing a property. I had spent a year driving around looking at properties that were gradually getting out of reach of my budget.

I was recommend by a real estate agent to Frank Russo. He introduced me to Sonia Jacob-Farr. We met on a cold dreary Friday night at her spectacular home.

Sonia and Frank gave honest feedback on how and what I could purchase and gave me options to make this affordable. It is a sum of money but in the long run this turned out to save money. I chose the option of finding the properties and Sonia assisting in the purchase.

Sonia met us promptly on the Saturday and then drove me around for the day looking at properties.

Sonia has an eye for potential! She could see how a negative could be turned into a positive.

I found a property I liked, and Sonia went about working out a strategy for how I could purchase this within my budget. There was issues with the property but Sonia turned these issues into a bargaining chip. This enable me to purchase the property within my budget.

She gave me confidence to bid (she will do it for you) for a property that in theory should have sold for more than I could afford.

I successfully purchased the property at auction!

Sonia then assisted with helping me measure up for wardrobes and the like. Suggested a handyman to assist. She liaise with the agent re accessing the property for Valuers and the like.

It is a great service. It isn’t cheap but it is worth the money.

I didn’t believe I would get off the renting merry go round. I am very relieved and thankful”

"We had never considered a buyer’s agent before and thought it to be too expensive or unnecessary but he has proved us wrong.

The market has been tough with very little stock and Frank's input was invaluable and very much great value.

He was always available, a great communicator and most importantly took the time to get to know us to refine what we were looking for.

What I liked about Frank initially was that his retainer was very low compared to the others we'd spoken to so he was willing to back himself to get us a result with a low risk to us.

He's a skilled negotiator and brings more than that with a background of building experience and a wealth of property knowledge that gave us confidence in his ability.

On top of that he's a genuine person who clearly has a passion for what he does.

We really enjoyed working with him and I'd strongly recommend at least talking to him to see how he could help your property search.

It's a tough market at present and our purchase was achieved on a very desirable property with a lot of competition in a timely manner. Many thanks Frank”
