What Real Estate Agents Look For in a Buyer (It’s Not Just the Price)

February 24, 20261 min read

Most buyers assume the highest offer always wins - but that’s not how real estate works. Agents want certainty, speed, and simplicity. They want buyers who make the process easy, not stressful.

What Agents Prioritise

1. Pre-Approval

Agents want buyers who are financially ready.

2. Clean Contracts

Fewer conditions = faster, safer settlement.

3. Clear Communication

Agents want buyers who respond quickly and professionally.

4. Certainty

A slightly lower offer from a strong buyer often beats a higher offer from an uncertain one.

5. Professional Representation

Buyers agents make the process smoother, which agents appreciate.

Why This Matters

When you understand what agents value, you can position yourself as the strongest buyer - even in competitive markets.

If you want to be the buyer agents choose first, I can help you prepare, present, and secure the right property with confidence.
