The benefit of using a buyers’ agent is partly to negotiate a better deal,
but it’s also about access, opportunity and convenience.
Welcome to the Opengate ADVOCACY - Buyer Agent Service, we help you buy a property which suits your budget, location and lifestyle.
Overseas and eastern states people may be familiar about using a buyer agent and these days people are far more educated about property. Seriously smart buyers engage an agent to act on their behalf to look after their interest and NOT that of the seller.

Once there is agreement, the management of relationships and outcomes become dramatically easier.
Without agreement, management of anything is too often fuzzy, awkward, frustrating and ineffective.
You need to be registered for our service with a written agreement which sets out the duties we are to perform on a Standard REIWA document (Real Estate Institute of WA).
Yes, the buyer pays the agent a success fee.
We do Not seek a conjunction with another agent. Not all real estate agents can deliver a service as a specialist buyer agent. If real estate agents earned their income from buyers then buyers would receive unbelievable service. In the past, buyers have experienced that most real estate agents do not call them back, keep them informed or are not willing to search and find a property which suits the buyers’ needs.
The Real Estate & Business Agents Act stipulates that when an agent introduces a buyer to another agents’ listed property as a conjunctional agent, that agent is working in conjunction. And here is a strong point of difference, by Law, if they introduce a buyer as a conjunctional agent they also take on the rights and responsibilities of the selling agent which means they are to act in the best interest of the seller. NOT the Buyer.
This is because the seller is the principle, the principle who is paying the success fee in accordance to their written agreement.
