Has anyone used a 'buyers agent' service to negotiate on property and was it worthwhile?
I'm looking at trading up at present and having had some unsuccessful dealings with estate agents in the past realise I am a bit green in the property negotiating game and want to avoid being 'played like a fiddle' by the selling agent.
My plan would be to identify a property I would like to bid on, view it myself and then use the buyers agent solely for negotiations.
I am aware of two companies (both Dublin based) providing this service - perhaps there are others. My property search is not in Dublin however so maybe a Dublin based service would not have the local knowledge to make this worthwhile? On the other hand perhaps an outsider would be better.
