Who's got time to dig through millions of online listings to find a dream home? Slogging through endless web searches can keep you up at night, visiting bait-and-switch open houses is more than frustrating, and clicking through photo after photo can make your eyes cross.
A top buyer's agent can take that burden off your shoulders. They'll only show you the properties that meet your standards and specifications, they'll show you more of them, and they'll schedule open house appointments on your schedule.
The top buyer's agents maximise your chances of finding the perfect home by showing you more properties that exceed your expectations while staying within your desired budget. Use this checklist to make sure your buying agent provides the best service, like:
Exclusive access to early and off-market property opportunities, giving you a competitive edge with properties not listed publicly.
Saves you time and reduces stress by handling property searches, inspections, negotiations, and all required documentation.
Expert negotiation skills and in-depth market knowledge to secure the best price and terms, often saving you money.
Objective advice and comprehensive support throughout the buying process, from initial consultation to property settlement.
Becomes your #1 supporter and strategic advisor, providing dedicated support and guidance throughout the home buying process.
No. Finding a top local buyer's agent through Minty is 100% free for buyers, and there's ZERO commitment required. Pretty cool, huh?
No. There's no way for an agent to purchase advertising on Minty or pay for preferential positioning on our site. The only way agents can influence Minty's rankings is to do better work for clients, handle more transactions, and improve their stats. Our recommendations are transparent, performance based, and data driven - that's how we keep them objective.
When you complete your transaction with the agent recommended by Minty, the agent pays us a customary agent-to-agent referral fee. It's a standard industry practice for agents to pay these types of fees to other parties like relocation companies or agencies. Virtually every agent is happy to do so because otherwise they'd have to spend lots of time and money finding clients themselves or advertising on sites like realestate.com.au. This all means we can achieve a win-win: Minty is free for you but is still able to provide objective information. And best of all, we only make money if we help you achieve your goals, so our interests are aligned with yours. We're incentivised to help you find the perfect agent for your needs who will help you achieve the best outcome.
Minty uses actual sales data, client reviews, and machine learning technology to find the best real estate agent for you. The only way an agent can influence our recommendation is by doing consistently great work for their clients. With over 1,000+ agents and 1 million transactions in our database, we can help connect you with a top agent based on their actual skills and experience.
We've built our matching algorithm to compare and contrast real estate agents on their historical performance with clients who have needs similar to yours. We factor in dozens of variables into our analysis, including but not limited to the agent's:
Transaction Volume
Property Type Specialisation
Days on Market Average
Sale to List Ratios
And more
Absolutely. If you're unhappy with your current real estate agent, or even if you're just curious to see how they compare to the top agents in your area, we encourage you to explore your options.
Real estate is a highly personal business and there's only so much we can get to know about your needs from an online form. The better we understand the situation you're in, what you're looking to do, and what your motivations and personality are like, the more we can refine your search. At the end of the day, we want you to have the best possible experience working with the agent we recommend and talking to you about your needs is the best way to ensure you find a perfect fit.
You're under no obligation to work with any of the real estate agents we recommend. Our goal is to bring more transparency to a process that traditionally lacks it and present you with these performance-based recommendations so that you can make an informed decision.
Our data shows that the top 5% of listing agents sell homes faster and for more money than the average real estate agent and the top 5% of buyer's agents typically save clients thousands of dollars on the purchase.
Unlike many of the other real estate websites out there, Minty does not allow real estate agents to advertise anywhere on our platform. We strive for objectivity and transparency in our agent recommendations and so we keep all of our recommendations 100% data-driven and based exclusively on historical performance.
