With its breathtaking harbour, world‑class beaches and booming suburbs, Sydney is one of the most competitive property markets in Australia. Auction clearance rates can be high and prices move quickly, making it hard for buyers to keep up. A buyer advocate, also known as a buyer’s agent, represents you through the entire journey, from identifying and evaluating properties to negotiating and bidding.
Because they work exclusively for you (not the seller), an experienced buyer advocate can help you secure the right property without overpaying or wasting months in a frustrating search. Here’s what they can do for you:
Why use a buyer advocate?
- Save money – Independent advocates use their knowledge of recent sales and property values to avoid overpaying. They can negotiate better terms and identify hidden issues that might cost you later.
- Save time – They handle the research, property search and inspections, so you don’t have to spend every weekend at open houses and auctions.
- Reduce stress – An advocate manages negotiations and bidding on your behalf, keeping your emotions out of the process and making sure you don’t get swept up in the auction atmosphere.
- Buy better – Their local knowledge and networks help you access off‑market opportunities and pick a property that holds its value over the long term.

Frequently asked questions
What does a Sydney buyer advocate cost?
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 a buyer 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 buyer advocates access off‑market properties?
One of the biggest advantages of using a buyer advocate is their access to off‑market listings and early previews from agent networks, giving you an edge in a competitive market.
