Buying a Gold Coast home? Don’t do it alone. Hemko Buyer’s Agency is the local team to help you find and buy the right property for the right price.


Why engage a buyer's agent?

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.


What's the difference between a buyer's agent and a real estate agent?

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:
