“The question I get asked all the time when I offer my Buyers Agent services, is “What is a Buyers Agent and why do I need one?” In Australia, Queensland even more so, Buyers Agents aren’t all that common yet. In America they are huge. Nearly every sale would be via an agent working to […]
Building a home used to be a complex, drawn out process, but now developers are taking the hard work out of the things, and selling house and land packages that are fixed price, with all the inclusions you’d expect for very reasonable prices and terms.
