Different buyers have different reasons for engaging a buyer’s agent. The Gold Coast real estate market has experienced significant growth since 2020 following many years of fluctuations. As a result, some buyer’s find purchasing in the Gold Coast market challenging – both knowing where to buy, what to buy, and what price to pay. This is where the true value of a good local buyer’s agent like Matt from Hemko lies. He knows all the local suburbs, pockets and streets – from Coolangatta to Coomera – and has strong relationships with local agents to help you get in the door of available properties sooner, and be in a strong position to negotiate. If you’re located in Brisbane, regional Queensland, interstate or overseas, a buyer’s agent is your boots on the ground support for inspections and auctions. And for all buyers, a buyer’s agent will conduct thorough due diligence on the properties you’re interested in, ensuring you don’t buy the wrong property, or a property you’ll later regret.
Real estate agents are primarily focused on selling properties and representing the seller in real estate transactions. Traditionally, they were the sole intermediaries between the seller and the buyer during negotiations. In contrast, a buyer’s agent exclusively represents the buyer. The buyer’s agent advocates for the buyer throughout the purchasing process – from the initial property search and due diligence, to negotiation and settlement. You can read more here about the role of the buyer’s agent and how you can use one to help you buy property on the Gold Coast.
Here’s a snapshot of the difference between a buyer’s agent and a real estate agent:

Anthony Steele2025-01-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Matt and team at Hemko was an excellent experience. Matt's communication, dedication and diligence in understanding our brief and finding multiple properties to match was outstanding. Their understanding and local knowledge of the Gold Coast gave us confidence and assurance and removed so much stress from the process. In securing a great home for us, Matt ensured the settlement process was smooth and seamless. We are very grateful to have connected with Matt and the Hemko team and highly recommend their services. Mark Brooks2024-08-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My business partner and I were looking for a small lot development site in or around the Mermaid Waters/Mermaid Beach area. I knew Matt through other connections on the Gold Coast and had mentioned to him that we were looking out for a site, and the details of what we were looking for. Matt went out of his way to identify a potential site for us just as it went to market but before it had been marketed, enabling us to be the first buyers to look at the site. Once we’d determined we were interested in the site, Matt assisted us to our due diligence and meticulously guided us through the entire process including the negotiation strategy for the purchase of the site. With his personal experience in small lot developments, Matt also assisted us with the detailed feasibility on the development of the site to ensure the development was profitable which was invaluable in knowing exactly what the price for the site needed to be. Matt is just a really great guy, easy to work with and a great communicator. He made the process simple and enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend Matt to anyone looking to buy a renovation or development site. Rick and Jess2024-08-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were looking to relocate from Brisbane to the Gold Coast and were not familiar with the Gold Coast market. After talking to Matt about what we required he went above and beyond to assist us in finding the right place including attending inspections when we couldn’t, taking us through viewings across multiple weekends, and helping us with comprehensive due diligence for our shortlist of properties. We felt confident placing an offer on a house in Robina with his assistance, which we subsequently purchased and are very happy with. What stood out most in working with Matt was his dedication to the property search and knowledge of the entire buying process and the GC market. We really trusted his views on the different properties we considered. We would 100% recommend Matt to anyone looking to buy into the Gold Coast Market.Load moreVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
