09 DON T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT My husband and I were first time property buyers, and didn t know where to begin or what to look for. We both worked long hours and never had the time to spend searching, let alone anything else that goes along with finding a property. Initially we were wary about engaging someone like a Buyer Agent to manage such a huge investment of our funds and our future. But we are now incredibly happy to have put our trust in National Property Buyers. Their advice has been invaluable with a friendly and warm attitude. Our advocate visited us in hours that suited us, provided fast responses to any questions we had, regular follow-ups to provide status updates and was always available for a call. They took care of everything, from the research and selection and purchase of a great property, as well as organizing everything else like a solicitor for the legals. 100% of everything promised was delivered and the level of after sales service has been fantastic. I think by the time we made the purchase, my husband and I had spent less than four hours actually buying a house, which is really amazing. National Property Buyers provided a complete service which surpassed all of our expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to buy a property and we will absolutely engage them for our next purchase. Kelly and Karl, Melbourne I commenced my search for an investment property some 12 months ago. After months of searching I realised that I know very little about buying a property for investment purposes and that if I was going to do it right, I would need some expert help. So I started my search for a buying agent. Of the three agents I made enquiries with, National Property Buyers were the only ones who were happy to meet with me in person and I d noticed they were quoted in the Financial Review newspaper. My advocate took the time to understand what I was trying to achieve. They explained their role as a buying agent and what they would do for me if I engaged them. They did what they said they would do and I am now the proud owner of my first investment property. As far as I am concerned, National Property Buyers earned every penny of the agent s fee. What was even better is that I also made great savings because I had an expert searching the market and ultimately negotiating the purchase for me. What stood out above all about this process was the personal service, professionalism and the fact that I was kept informed every step of the way. Sarah, Brisbane
