What Our Clients Say
Why Use a Buyers Agent?
There are several advantages to working with a buyer’s agent—especially in competitive markets like Canberra, where demand often outpaces supply.
1. Access to Off-Market Properties
One of the biggest advantages is gaining access to off-market and pre-market opportunities, properties not publicly advertised and often sold quietly. As one of the most established Canberra buyer’s agents, we tap into a trusted network of agents, developers, and property managers to present options you wouldn’t otherwise find. This can be a major advantage in low-supply markets.
2. Expert Market Knowledge
Canberra’s property market is made up of distinct micro-markets. What’s true in Griffith may not apply to Belconnen or Woden. We offer hyper-local insights, what’s fairly priced, what has growth potential, where new infrastructure is coming so you can make informed decisions backed by experience, not guesswork.
3. Time and Stress Savings
Finding the right property is time consuming and can feel like a full time job, especially when listings are limited or moving quickly. We handle everything from shortlisting and inspections to agent follow-ups and due diligence saving you countless hours. This is especially valuable for interstate buyers or busy professionals who can’t spend every weekend house-hunting.
4. Strong Negotiation Skills
Many people feel uncomfortable negotiating with real estate agents especially in emotionally charged situations. We know how agents think and what tactics they use. Whether negotiating on price, settlement terms, or contract conditions, we represent your best interests calmly and confidently. Our role is to secure the right deal for you, not just any deal.
5. Auction Strategy and Bidding Support
Auctions can be fast-paced, emotional, and easy to misread. We take the pressure off by bidding on your behalf with a clear strategy and pre-agreed bidding limit. No second-guessing, no surprises, just confident representation when it matters most
Who Should Use a Buyers Agent?
Buyers' agents aren’t just for wealthy investors – they’re useful for all types of buyers:
- First home buyers:
Benefit from expert guidance and help avoiding common pitfalls. A buyers agent can walk you through the entire process, from finance pre-approval to settlement, making it less overwhelming. We also help ensure you don’t overpay or get caught out by issues like poor building conditions or overvalued locations.
- Time-poor professionals:
Outsource the entire search and negotiation process. With a buyers agent handling everything from shortlisting properties to attending inspections and negotiations, you can focus on your work and life commitments. We also liaise with solicitors, lenders and agents on your behalf, streamlining the whole transaction.
- Upsizers and downsizers:
Get tailored advice based on changing lifestyle needs. Whether you’re looking for more space or something low-maintenance, a buyers agent can align your property search with your long-term goals. We also consider future resale value and accessibility, ensuring your next move is a smart one.
- Investors:
Leverage data-driven insights to identify high-growth areas and maximise returns. Buyers agents analyse local rental yields, vacancy rates and infrastructure plans to find opportunities that fit your investment strategy. We also recommend properties with strong tenant appeal and low ongoing maintenance.
- Interstate or overseas buyers:
Rely on local representation to manage the process remotely. A Canberra-based buyers agent inspects properties on your behalf, provides video walk-throughs and coordinates all due diligence. This gives you peace of mind and reduces the risk of making decisions from afar without reliable, local insights.

Canberra Property Market
Canberra’s property market is constantly evolving, shaped by population growth, low vacancy rates, and a steady stream of government employment and private enterprise. But it is not one size fits all. Each suburb is its own micro market. What is true in Griffith might not hold in Belconnen or Woden. Whether you are buying to live or invest, we give you hyper local insights on value, growth potential and upcoming infrastructure, so your decisions are driven by data and experience, not emotion or guesswork.

Buyers Agent FAQ’s
This is where you will find most answers. If there should still be any questions left, don’t hesitate to contact us.
What is a buyers agent?
A buyers agent works exclusively for the purchaser, sourcing properties that match the buyers requirements. Buyers agents use their knowledge of real estate to source and negotiate the best property and settlement conditions for their clients.
A selling agent’s responsibility is to act in the best interests of the vendor—to exclusively advertise and sell the vendor's property for the highest possible price in the marketplace, without regard for the buyers best interests.
Do I have to be wealthy to use a buyers agent?
Not at all! We have helped purchase properties that are valued at $500,000 and upwards of $2,000,000. The services of a buyers agents are ideal for those who don’t have the time, knowledge, skills or desire to manage a real estate transaction on their own.
Are your fees tax deductible?
We do not provide financial advice. However, if you are buying property for investment, our fees may be tax deductible. Check with your accountant for advice specific to your situation.
Can you access off-market properties?
Yes, because of excellent personal relationships that have been built up over many decades with local real estate agents across Canberra. We can also source private sales with no selling agent involved.
Are you independent or attached to a real estate agency?
Hyde Burchell Buyers Agents are 100% independent of any agency, builder or developer across Canberra.
Do you offer finance or conveyancing?
No. However, we can assemble a great property purchasing team from our network of trusted local professionals for you.
Do you find properties for investors and homeowners?
Yes. A lot of our clients are looking for their next home but as an investor, you also have the advantage of accessing our preferred partners and exclusive offers with our Investors Club service
Why am I better off having you bid for me at auction?
Auctions are unpredictable and can be difficult for the inexperienced to negotiate. We are experts in this field and eliminate all the fear and uncertainties involved in the auction process.
Some people prefer to remain anonymous or cannot physically attend, so it is often easier for us to take care of the entire process and bid on their behalf.
I’m not in Canberra or Australia, can we still work with you?
Absolutely. From our office in Canberra, we work with clients from across the globe.
Should a buyers agent have a real estate background?
Yes, most definitely. Don’t risk putting what is often the single largest purchase you will make in your lifetime in the hands of someone without adequate real estate and negotiating experience. It makes sense to use someone with knowledge of the industry who can negotiate with the selling agent to secure you the best price.
What if a property is perfect for two of your clients?
Everyone has different criteria when it comes to property, but sometimes those criteria align. For this reason, we do not take on another client who is purchasing with the same requirements as an existing client.
Do you get kickbacks for buying a property?
Never.
How do we start working with you?
Let’s start with a conversation by calling Mandy or Nicole in the office on (02) 6243 3661. It’s that simple.
