Buyer’s Agent vs Real Estate Agent

https://youtu.be/i1LJ3GO7FXg

Who Works for You?

Ever wondered who really works for you when buying a property — the real estate agent or the buyer’s agent?It’s a common question, and understanding the difference can save you thousands and help you make smarter property decisions.

Who Does a Real Estate Agent Represent?

A real estate agent works for the seller, not the buyer. Their main goal is to achieve the highest possible price for the property owner.

They’re skilled negotiators — but remember, their loyalty lies with the vendor. Every word, question, and negotiation tactic they use is designed to benefit the seller’s outcome.

That doesn’t mean they’re dishonest — they’re just doing their job. But it does mean you’re entering negotiations at a disadvantage if you don’t have someone on your side.

Who Does a Buyer’s Agent Represent?

A buyer’s agent (also called a property buyer’s advocate or property acquisition consultant) represents you — the buyer.

Their job is to:

– Find the right property based on your goals, budget, and strategy

– Conduct due diligence and negotiate the best possible price

– Bid at auctions with strategy and confidence

– Save you time, stress, and costly mistakes

Unlike selling agents, a buyer’s agent is 100% focused on protecting your interests and helping you make an informed investment.

Why Having a Buyer’s Agent Matters

In today’s competitive property market, the right buyer’s agent can make the difference between overpaying and buying smart.

At Truth Group, I work directly with clients across Sydney — and also in QLD, VIC, SA, and Perth — helping home buyers and investors identify opportunities that align with their goals.

Many of my clients come to me after missing out on properties or realising they’ve been relying on advice from selling agents who weren’t working for them.

My approach is straightforward:

– Research and shortlist properties that fit your brief

– Handle negotiations and due diligence

– Provide mortgage planning and finance options

– Support you through to settlement

I only work with a limited number of clients at a time — so each one gets my full focus and a streamlined process with no delays.

So, Who Really Works for You?

If you’re buying, your buyer’s agent does.They’re your advocate, your strategist, and your negotiator.They make sure your purchase supports your financial goals — not someone else’s profit.

Work with a Buyer’s Agent Who’s Also a Mortgage Expert

As both a buyer’s agent and mortgage broker, I help clients secure the right property and the right finance. From identifying high-potential suburbs to structuring your loan, my focus is on building long-term results, not quick wins.

If you’re serious about buying — whether it’s your first home or your next investment — reach out today. Let’s make sure your next property purchase is backed by strategy, not sales tactics.

Buyer’s agents represent you — the buyer.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN AN INVESTMENT PROPERTY: TOP 3 CRITERIA

Not every property makes a good investment. As buyers agents, here’s what we look for:

- Growth potential
- Strong cash flow
- No hidden “warts” (like flood zones, main roads, or power lines)

And if there’s an upside or X-factor we can add later, that’s a bonus!

RBA Cuts Cash Rate to 3.60% in August 2025

What It Means for You

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has delivered its third interest rate cut of 2025. Reducing the official cash rate by 0.25 percentage points at its August board meeting.

This latest cut brings the cash rate down to 3.60%, the lowest it has been since April 2023.

Why Did the RBA Cut Rates?

The RBA’s decision follows signs that inflation is easing and the economy is showing some signs of slowing. With inflation now within the target range and a softening labour market. The board opted for a cautious reduction to support ongoing economic stability and growth.

What Does This Mean for You?

A lower cash rate usually leads to banks reducing variable home loan rates, which can translate into lower monthly repayments for borrowers.

If you have an existing mortgage, now is an excellent time to review your loan and ensure your interest rate is competitive.

What Should You Do Next?

Reach out to me at Truth Group to discuss how this rate cut might impact your loan and explore your options.

If refinancing could save you money or improve your cash flow. I’ll help you find the best deals tailored to your needs.

Whether it’s your home loan or investment property financing, I’ll guide you every step of the way.

Using Equity to Buy Another Property: A Step-by-Step Guide

https://youtu.be/xoLk-0X-usM

If you already own a home or investment property, you might be sitting on a powerful tool for building your wealth — equity.

Equity is simply the difference between what your property is worth and what you still owe on your loan. The more equity you have, the more options you open up for purchasing another property — without having to save a massive cash deposit.

Here’s how the process works:

Step 1: Work Out Your Current Equity

Start by finding out the current market value of your property. Then subtract the remaining loan amount.
Example: If your property is worth $800,000 and your loan balance is $400,000, your equity is $400,000.

Step 2: Find Out How Much You Can Use

Banks usually let you borrow up to 80% of your property’s value without paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI).
Using the same example:

  • 80% of $800,000 = $640,000
  • Subtract your loan balance ($400,000)
  • Usable equity = $240,000

Step 3: Get Your Borrowing Power Checked

Even if you have equity, your income and expenses will affect how much you can borrow. This is where I run the numbers to see exactly what’s possible before you start searching for properties.

Step 4: Decide on Your Investment Strategy

Is your goal capital growth, rental yield, or a mix of both? The right property depends on your long-term goals. I’ll guide you on locations, property types, and how to structure the loan and strategy to keep you in control of your cash flow.

Step 5: Secure Pre-Approval

With the right lender and loan structure, you can have your finance ready so you can act fast when you find the right property.

Step 6: Purchase and Settle

Once you’ve found your property, we’ll finalise the loan, pay the deposit (from your equity release), sign contracts, and arrange for settlement.

💬 Tip: Using equity can be a smart move, but it’s important to borrow responsibly and plan ahead so your portfolio grows without overextending yourself.

Some investors are sitting on the fence.
And some are quietly buying their next property, at a discount, while no one’s looking. 👀

When the market heats back up (because it always does)…
You'll either wish you bought or be glad you did.

🏡 GOT A SLOPING BLOCK? DON’T STRESS – HERE’S WHAT TO KNOW 👇

Sean shares why a sloping site doesn’t have to be a deal-breaker when building a granny flat:

🪵 Building on stumps = less earthworks, fewer retaining walls
🏗️ Slab builds are possible, but come with extra costs
🌄 Bonus: sloping blocks often unlock beautiful elevated views
In this case? The slope actually added value.
