According to realestate.com.au<\/a> television\u2019s best known real estate expert Andrew Winter is putting his money where his mouth is and kicking off a career as a buyer\u2019s agent.<\/p>\n

A veteran of 25 years as a sales agent, Mr Winter has spent much of the last two decades as a TV host on Foxtel\u2019s Selling Houses Australia and Love It Or List It.<\/p>\n

In the process the former Gold Logic nominee has become a household name among property lovers. It\u2019s a platform he was keen to expand on and during the pandemic Mr Winter redid his real estate license with a view to returning to the industry.<\/p>\n

Given the significant uncertainty in the real estate market across Australia, part due to massive interest rate hikes and a lack of supply, Mr Winter said it was a great time for him to re-enter the market as a transactional agent.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve just secured my first sale, it\u2019s a great feeling, it was a very interesting search, we worked really well as a team and it was very rewarding to get the job done,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you have a buyer\u2019s agent it\u2019s like a real estate Personal Assistant \u2013 you have someone there who can negotiate on your behalf, who can bid for your at auction. It\u2019s a relationship. You are doing things, looking at things and making decisions together. It\u2019s a team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Buyer\u2019s agents have been a feature of real estate in the US for several years, with the phenomenon becoming more popular in Australia in recent years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the best buyer\u2019s agents are people who have been real estate [sales] agents,\u201d Mr Winter said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have been on the other side, so they know what it is like and it brings a whole different prospective.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a good sales agent and a good buyer\u2019s agent you have to have that knocking on the door mentality. You also have to be able to hold your client\u2019s hand as a buyer\u2019s agent. To help them find that perfect family home, have the confidence to commit, to negotiate the right deal and get it done.\u201d<\/p>\n
