Buyers Stick with those Who Know

REAL Estate Buyers Agents Association of Australia (REBAA) members are now displaying their accredited agency logos - a first for the buyers agents industry – as a visual protection to help buyers make informed purchasing decisions.
According to REBAA President Mr Byron Rose, the number of buyers agents is on the rise with an increasing number of new member enquiries each month.

“Currently there are around 75 to 100 firms around Australia acting exclusively as buyer’s agents, nearly half of those are in New South Wales, compared with just two 10 years ago,” said Mr Rose.
“The industry is definitely growing and REBAA has a responsibility to consumers that its members have an in-depth knowledge of the real estate market and adhere to guidelines and an ethical code of conduct to ensure they are safeguarded against unscrupulous operators.

“In an increasingly complex marketplace, buyers are starting to see the value of having an independent expert on their side, one who knows exactly how much a property is worth, who can negotiate the best price and terms.”

Buyer’s agents are qualified real estate professionals who work exclusively on behalf of property buyers, while the traditional agent works for the seller and is intent on achieving the highest possible price.

REBAA accredited agencies across Australia are now displaying their accredited agency logos as stickers on their shopfronts to help buyers clearly identify bonafide agents.

“REBAA is Australia’s largest independent alliance of buyer’s agents who act on behalf of buyers in property transactions,” said Mr Rose.

“The Association’s accredited buyers agent logo is synonymous with professionalism and best practice and its members are committed to stringent ethical standards.”
