FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about the career, how buyer’s agents are paid and the person behind BAI.
Is Buyer’s Agent A Legit Career?
Very much so. While the real estate agent represents the seller, the buyer’s agent represents the buyer. Buyer’s agents are licensed professionals acting on a buyer’s behalf to search, evaluate and negotiate property. This is an increasingly vital role because there aren’t enough buyer’s agents to meet the demand from property buyers. Like any career, you’ll get out of it what you put into it. So, you need to get professionally trained on the buyer’s agent course and then mentored until you become proficient and can achieve the best possible outcome for your clients.
How Is A Buyer’s Agent Paid?
Buyer’s agents can offer clients a number of pricing models. The most common are:
- For a full-service offering, a buyer’s agent will typically charge the buyer a commission, which is a percentage fee of the property’s sale price. Depending on the agent, the percentage can vary but might be as high as 2.5% + GST.
- A fixed fee or flat rate cost is usually paid when the agent only provides a single service to the buyer, such as attending an auction on the buyer’s behalf.
- For both commission and fixed fee, there is typically a retainer which is paid upfront. The balance of the fee is paid once the sale is finalised.
Who Is Ben Handler?
After being trained in building construction management and property, Ben Handler went to California looking for ideas. He was struck by how massive the buyer’s agent industry was in the USA while it was still in its relative infancy in Australia. Upon his return, Ben co-founded Australia’s largest Buyer’s Agency, Cohen Handler. Ben built and mentored an expert team who together amassed residential and commercial purchases up to approximately $3 billion. After ten years, and concerned by the lack of buyer’s agents versus the demand, Ben decided to take more responsibility for the industry’s growth as a whole. He founded and launched the Buyer’s Agent Institute (BAI). BAI has now trained the largest number of buyer’s agents in Australia by delivering buyer’s agent training courses and leveraging Ben’s vast experience as a buyer’s agent mentor.
