What type of property buyer are you?

Location, Location, Location! That old chestnut has been around for years and will be around for many more to come. That’s because choosing where to buy property is one of the most important decisions you will have to make, whether it’s your first home, downsizing from your old home, or investing in a second property.

Taking the importance of this decision into account, it is crucial to understand what type of buyer you are as it will help you understand the various methods of negotiation, and the information you should seek to aid you in your important decision.

Realestateview.com.au has created an online quiz which allows you to find out what your buyer personality is; it can range from:

• Master Negotiator: You thrive at a challenge and the ability to bargain and negotiate runs thick through your blood. However, you risk not being ahead of the game by not embracing the benefits of new technologies.

• Digital Mogul: Digital is a way of life for you and it just makes sense to continue this when it comes to buying a property. However, you’re sometimes at risk of forgetting that face-to-face and first-hand interactions still play a big part in researching, getting a feel for a property and building relationships with real estate agents.

• Stressed Shifter: Change worries you and everything to do with buying a property seems overwhelming. You should not be afraid to ask questions about the process or the property – that’s what the real estate agents are there for.

• The Supervisor: You’re happy to give advice, but you don’t take the credit. You sometimes forget about yourself; as a buyer you need to educate yourself and become confident in topics such as sales and auction results to ensure you are making an informed decision.
