You are ready to actively search for a property.  But are you prepared to spend time finding a great area and getting to know the pricing?  Do you want to deal with the pressure of agents? Are you confident you have the networks to access stock before it gets snapped up by eager buyers? Are you capable of negotiating a purchase well?

You may not be, but our New Zealand buyers agent’s are. It’s our day job to look for properties, to network with agents in the areas we buy.  It’s our job to make a lot of offers and to patiently and confidently negotiate.  We specialise in navigating sales agents and vendors in a negotiation scenario.

There is so much that ‘weekend shoppers’ are probably unaware of. How do the different sales agents commission structures work, and how does that impact the way you should structure an offer? Which agents fight for the vendors more, and which agents give away more information?  Should you ring the listing agent, or run with a friendly agent in the office?  How do you get to find out about properties before they hit TradeMe or realestate.co.nz? Use a buyers agent, New Zealand property specialist.

As they say, you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s why you should consider using a buyers agent. Auckland, New Zealand based Erskine + Owen have that knowledge and expertise.

Source – Turn Key Acquisition Service

For those that don’t have the time, energy or inclination, Erskine + Owen offers a turn key acquisition service. You can see from the navigation menu that you can also engage us for just some of the steps in the buying process, however we find the turn key service to be the most popular.

Fist we develop your personalised buying profile. We tap into our networks to access properties that match your buying profile, including ones that the weekend buyer might never see.  We do all the searching, filtering, inspecting and assessing. Then we negotiate the contract. You don’t have to waste time looking at hundreds of properties on the net that don’t match.  You don’t need to traipse around viewing properties at inconvenient times, or field calls from sales agents that won’t give up.

Our service includes the below (see website navigation for more detail on each step):

• Property investment plan (investors only). We identify what passive income you want to achieve and set a realistic strategy for getting there
• Profile. We understand your individual wants and needs and overlay them on our research to develop a very specific buying profile
• Search. Based on your buying profile we begin seraching and filtering for properties that fit your profile.
• Negotiate. When we find properties that fit your profile we conduct the negotiation these properties. In the case of the turn key solution, when you engage us we keep negotiation until we have a property under contract
• Due diligence management. WE coordinate all the due diligence, interpret it and renegotiate the contract if we think appropriate.
