Choose by what you need

Finding a listing and appointing someone to represent your purchase are separate decisions. ERA publishes a buying route and property portal; PropNex publishes sale listings, filters and an agent/advice route. Use these to identify an appropriate named agent, then verify that person and the agency through CEA’s register. CEA advises a prescribed agency agreement and explains that an agent cannot represent and collect commission from both sides of the same transaction. Ask the selected agent to put your buyer-search scope, viewings, information requests, offer coordination, duration and agreed fees in writing. A portal listing alone is not a buyer-representation appointment.
