As an independent, licensed Buyers Agent, I ALWAYS act in your best interest in purchasing a home in the Southern Highlands.

Let Highlands Arrivals help you move to the Southern Highlands, NSW and take the stress out of the move by:

Save time and trips looking for a property - get your Saturdays back!
Know the market value, the agents, and get the best price. You will save money by working with me!
Provide local knowledge on what is important to you and get the lifestyle you want

I am the leading buyers agent in the Southern Highlands. I live locally and specialise just in the Southern Highlands.

I am completely independent and confidential, and have a relationship with all of the agents in the Southern Highlands so have access to properties on the market, off-market and also those properties about to come onto the market so you can find something before everyone else sees it.

If you are current spending all of your time searching, you're probably basing you search on the internet or talking to selling agents, and I'm sure every house sounds wonderful! You will be spending a lot of time travelling here looking at unsuitable properties. Take out the guesswork and have Highlands Arrivals provide a shortlist of properties. I want to make sure you love your house in the Highlands! Many properties, particularly Bowral and Mittagong, sell before they are listed on the internet sites. These are off-market sales and you need to act quickly to get one of these, using someone local as property finder, inspecting the property for you.

Having more than 25 years experience in sales, and as a licensed Real Estate Agent, I can negotiate on your behalf and get the best price. I know all of the Agents and they know me and know to take any buyer I bring through seriously.

I can be your buyers advocate and manage your whole search for a % of the purchase or for a set fee. Alternatively, I can help with individual tasks such as visiting and reporting on all potential properties, negotiations for a property you have already found, preparing a suitable property list to match your exact needs, advising on towns, locations and activities, bidding at auction, or helping with post purchase work with your property.

Highlands Arrivals can help you find and buy the perfect property! Whatever you need to help with your move, call or email me today to get an obligation free quote.

Testimonials

Suzi Bryant from Highland Arrivals was fantastic helping us find and negotiate an EXCELLENT price on our new property in Robertson in July (2017). She was always available and incredibly patient as our brief changed from 4000 squares in Bowral to 5 acres further out! She helped organise a rental for two weeks in the highlands until we could settle on the new place and has continued to give us fabulous advice well after our 'transaction' was complete. I have no hesitation in recommending her.

Our Services

I can work with you the whole way through the purchase of your home, including:

Finding the right properties

I run through a detailed analysis on what you are looking for in the Southern Highlands, to understand your exact needs. I then talk to all of the local agents, and determine a list of potential properties which I will discuss with you and then inspect.
Property inspections

This is inspecting the properties on your behalf, checking on your key requirements such as north facing, room to study, heating etc and taking photographs of all rooms and the street itself. This includes the rooms the selling agents don't want you to see!
Liaising with the agent

Understand the seller's motivations and urgency, any known defects with the house, schedule appointments and inspections and coordinate all aspects of inspecting and purchasing a house.
Providing detailed reports on the suitability of the properties of interest to you

Detailed property report including an overview of the area and street, the details on the house including when it went on the market and the price it has been listed for previously, and other similar properties sold in the area.
Talking to council about zoning and development plans

In rural areas, it's important to check the zoning and any plans there may be in the future for the area.
Advising on pricing and market value

Looking at past purchases, the state of the market, how long a property has been on the market and whether they have dropped or increased their price, and determining negotiation points, I work out how much the property is actually worth. This usually saves you lots of money!
Negotiating the Purchase

Negotiating for a house you are emotionally invested in can be extremely stressful, so it helps to have an experienced buyers agent acting on your behalf. In housing negotiations there are tactics the selling agents use to increase the price - don't be taken in by these! Work through the process with someone who is acting in your best interest and understands the game.
Organising building and pest inspections

In a rural area these can be very important, and it's good to get someone trustworthy to do this. You also don't want to delay the sale too long in trying to organise one!
Dealing with the conveyancers

So that an exchange isn't delayed, I communicate with the conveyancers and ensure all of the paperwork is in place and the sale isn't delayed. I also work with the agent to try to ensure the house isn't marketed during this period.
Performing the final inspections before settlement

To save you visiting just before the settlement Highlands Arrivals can perform these inspections for you, checking the house is in the state it was when purchased, is clean, and all possessions removed.
Connecting you with great sporting clubs, school, playgroups and clubs

One of the most difficult things about moving is finding your new support and friendship base. I can help you get in contact with the things you are interested in, so you meet lots of the friendly locals and quickly settle in.

What is a buyers agent?

A buyers agent, also known as a property finder or buyers advocate, acts exclusively on behalf of the buyer in finding, assessing and negotiating the price of a property. This is different to selling real estate agents who are looking after the best interests of the vendor.

People use a buyers agent to find a suitable property, and to purchase it for the best possible price with the best possible terms.

The buyers agent will investigate the viable properties and identify any concerns or issues with them for the buyer.

In NSW to act as a Buyer’s Agent you are required to hold a Real Estate Agent licence but can not also be involved in selling property.

Buyers agents also have access to off-market properties which have not yet been formally advertised, so using a buyers agent is a way of accessing the properties that never make it to the internet sites.
