Queensland’s property market is diverse – from Brisbane's bustling inner suburbs to the relaxed Sunshine Coast and booming Gold Coast. As population growth and interstate migration continue, competition for the best homes and investments can be fierce. A buyer advocate, also known as a buyer's agent, can give you the edge by representing you through every step of the search and purchase, from sourcing off-market deals to negotiating and bidding at auction.
Because they work exclusively for you (not the seller), a Queensland buyer advocate helps you avoid overpaying or missing out while saving months of frustration. Here’s how they make a difference:
- Save money – Independent advocates use their knowledge of recent sales and property values to negotiate favourable terms and identify hidden issues before you commit.
- Save time – They do the legwork for you: researching suburbs, inspecting properties and shortlisting only the most suitable homes so your weekends are free.
- Reduce stress – By managing negotiations and bidding on your behalf, they keep your emotions in check and ensure you don't get swept up in auction day frenzy.
- Buy better – Their local networks and insights give you access to off-market opportunities and help you choose a property that will grow in value over the long term.

Frequently asked questions
How much do Queensland buyer advocates charge?
Fees vary depending on the service and property price but many advocates charge either a fixed fee or a percentage of the purchase price. When comparing, ask whether the fee is paid up front or on success.
Can an advocate bid at auction for me?
Yes. Many buyer advocates will act on your behalf at auction, using their experience to keep emotions in check and stick to your budget.
Do advocates have access to off-market properties?
One of the biggest advantages of using a buyer advocate is their access to off-market early and pre-market opportunities from agent networks, giving you an edge in a competitive market.
