Commercial Buyers Agent
Find the right property, without the stress
What is a commercial buyers agent?
A commercial buyers agent represents the buyer, not the seller, when you buy commercial property. We find, assess and negotiate the right office, shop, warehouse or mixed-use site for you, from the first search to settlement.
Buying commercial property can be complex, competitive and slow. Zoning, permitted use, GST, lease terms and building compliance all shape what a property is worth. A buyers agent for commercial property reads each of these before you sign.
As a boutique buyers agency, BFP Property works as a commercial property buyers agent across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide. We give you access to off-market deals, independent advice and skilled negotiation.
The benefits of using a commercial buyers agent include:
- A targeted search based on your budget, location and use
- Access to off-market and pre-market opportunities
- Independent appraisal, so you pay true market value
- Lease review and tenant checks for any property with an existing lease
- Due diligence, including inspections, valuations, zoning and council checks
- Negotiation on price and terms with the selling agent
- Support through to settlement and handover
