  • Summary

  • In this episode of the First Property Buyer Show, host Emilie Lauer sits down with seasoned buyer’s agent from Advocate Property Services, Jo Vadillo, to discuss the pivotal role of a buyer’s agent and how they can assist first home buyers in making informed decisions.

    The duo starts by exploring Jo’s career as she became a buyer’s agent in 2012, when the role was still relatively unknown to the general public. Since then, she has seen a shift in perception, from clients questioning the need for a buyer’s agent to later regretting not using one.

    Jo said that a buyer’s agent helps clients navigate the purchase process, offering access to listed and off-market properties, coordinates with brokers and solicitors, arranges inspections, and negotiates deals.

    She stresses that first home buyers should start by sorting their finances, then work with an agent to build a personalised strategy based on market trends and budget.

    While buying a home is emotionally taxing – similar to having a baby – and full of unknowns, a buyer’s agent can help you stay focused and informed, making decisions rationally.
