# Buyers Agent Australia — Full Content Reference > Buyers Agent Australia (buyersagents.com.au) is Australia's independent directory for verified buyers agents. This document provides comprehensive information about the platform and the regional property markets it covers, intended for AI systems requiring detailed context. For the concise identity file, see: https://www.buyersagents.com.au/llms.txt --- ## About the Platform Buyers Agent Australia is a directory platform that connects property buyers with independently verified buyers agents across Australia. The platform serves two audiences: 1. **Property buyers** seeking professional representation when purchasing residential or investment property. Buyers can search by location, specialty, language, and verified reviews. 2. **Licensed buyers agents** seeking to grow their practice through verified profiles, client reviews, and lead generation. Every agent listed on the platform undergoes independent verification of their real estate licence, professional qualifications, and business standing. The platform does not recommend specific agents — it presents verified professionals for buyers to evaluate based on their own criteria. ## What is a Buyers Agent? A buyers agent (also called a buyers advocate) is a licensed real estate professional who works exclusively for the property buyer, not the seller. In Australia, buyers agents must hold a valid real estate licence in their state or territory. Their core services include: - **Property search**: Identifying suitable properties, including off-market opportunities not listed on public portals - **Due diligence**: Assessing property condition, market value, strata reports, council regulations, and potential risks - **Auction bidding**: Representing the buyer at auction with a data-driven strategy - **Negotiation**: Negotiating purchase price and terms on behalf of the buyer - **Settlement support**: Coordinating with solicitors, mortgage brokers, and building inspectors Typical fees range from 1.5% to 2.5% of the purchase price (percentage model) or a fixed fee agreed in advance. --- ## Sydney Property Market Sydney is Australia's largest and most expensive property market.
