UK’s First National Homebuyer’s Agent Franchise Launches

No longer just the preserve of the rich and famous, The Buying Agents offer every UK homebuyer a service to save them time, money and stress on their property purchase. Unlike estate agents, who are paid by the vendor to get them the 'highest' price, The Buying Agents negotiate the 'lowest price' for the homebuyer.

London, United Kingdom, February 09, 2010 --(PR.com)-- With the demise of the high street estate agent, and homebuyers choosing to search for property online, The Buying Agents may just be the next growth area in the property industry.

The traditional high street Estate Agent model is changing just as it has in the US and Australia over recent years where the majority of homebuyers already use a Buying Agent. There property vendors appoint ‘selling agents’ to sell for them while homebuyers appoint ‘Buying Agents’ to locate and negotiate on property purchases for them. According to The Observer around 63% of homes in the USA are bought using Buying Agents.

Tim Hammond, founder of The Buying Agents started his own agency ten years ago and is chairman of the Association of Property Finders and Buyers Agents who have been promoting an awareness initiative to consumers. This initiative helped by TV programs, including 'Location, Location, Location', has helped stimulate a year on year growth in this sector. The potential for growth in this industry is huge as more UK homebuyers learn about the benefits of using a Buying Agent for their property purchase.

Tim’s knowledge and experience of the property market and mass-market adoption of homebuyers using Buying Agents in the US led him to expand his own business in the UK through franchising. The Buying Agents have since become one of the leading brands in this sector and are unique in that they offer services to all homebuyers regardless of what value of property they buy.

A Revolution for UK Homebuyers

The Buying Agents is ‘The Smarter Way to Buy Your Home’. No longer just the preserve of the rich and famous The Buying Agents offer every UK homebuyer a service to save them time, money and stress on their property purchase.

An in-depth knowledge of local property markets, and an extensive network of contacts in each area ensure they find the perfect properties for their customers. As The Buying Agents buy properties for a living, they know what properties are really worth and give homebuyers the edge in negotiations with the estate agent or vendor to secure the lowest price.

Three unique buying agent packages are designed to meet the requirements of homebuyers across the UK. Whether they are a first time buyer, moving up the property ladder or need a relocation package, The Buying Agents have a solution for everyone. Additionally, the launch of their Homebuyer Centres in conjunction with strategic partners will increase awareness of their brand and services and help generate more revenue for franchisees.

Introducing the RTB (Ready To Buy) certificate

A unique new product which is prepared for every buyer to optimize negotiating position with the estate agent and savings for clients. Homebuyers benefit from a ‘property-buying’ healthcheck, getting pre-approved for their mortgage and have the Buying Agents ‘move’ team in place prior to offers being made.

Franchisee case study

Ben runs the Chiswick franchise. “The great thing about running my own Buying Agent franchise is that the role is so varied. One day you might be searching for properties online, the next day out showing properties to new clients and another day negotiating with estate agents, knowing that the more money I can save my clients, the more money I will make. It really is the most fun and rewarding job you can have."

There is significant demand for The Buying Agents in the UK and the market is growing rapidly. With low set up costs and high commissions (earnings of 1.5% of a property’s price), one can quickly generate a highly profitable business with The Buying Agents franchise.

The Buying Agents™ franchise network plans an aggressive roll out strategy for 2010 and is supported by the Association of Property Finders and Buyers Agents.
