David Zerna, the Founder and Director of Timar Buyers’ Agency, comes from humble beginnings.
Born into a family deeply passionate about real estate, David Zerna was naturally inclined towards property from an early age. This foundational interest became a cornerstone of his upbringing, allowing him an intimate understanding of property market dynamics and investment challenges.
Over nearly 15 years, David amassed invaluable leadership experience with major Australian corporations like Coles Myer, Wesfarmers, and Kmart. Managing large teams and operations, he honed skills in strategic planning and decision-making that influenced his professional trajectory to this day.
However, in 2020, David's career took a turn. Driven by a desire to help others lead their best lives, he established Timar Buyers Agency amidst the uncertainties of the COVID era. Despite challenging circumstances, David's venture flourished, evolving into Tasmania's premier buyers agency.
David's passion extends beyond his professional commitments. A devoted husband to Katie and a proud father to three children, he enjoys family life in picturesque West Hobart. A self-confessed wine enthusiast, David delights in exploring potential investment properties by day and expanding his wine collection by night. Balancing his role as a property expert, loving family man, and wine connoisseur, David Zerna is a testament to pursuing passion and purpose.

"There's a real difference between being a visitor and being a local. And obviously, that's where someone like yourself [David] was so incredibly useful in terms of all of a sudden I was able to see Tas through different eyes which has been fabulous.”
Kristin - Sydney Buyer
Purchased a family home in Tolmans Hill
"The thoroughness, the knowledge of the market, and I guess the contacts. I didn't really have to do any planning or really didn't have to dive into any of that. You had that covered and the contacts with different people that you could have followed up with if I needed"
Julia - Sydney Buyer
Purchased a Lifestyle home on the Tasman Peninsula
"I have a fairly busy work life, and I was trying to figure out how I was going to achieve my end goal, and your buyer's agency seemed like a really sensible way of doing it"
Alison - Canberra Buyer
Purchased a lifestyle property in Primrose Sands
"I didn't want the federation house and I'd probably given you quite a tricky challenge there because that's obviously the vast majority of Hobart. And so, I think you were very good at hearing what I was chasing and steering me toward an area which was going to make my brief."

Buyer's agents are independent, professionals who represent the interests of a buyer in a property transaction.
Although the concept of a buyer’s agent is relatively new to the market, it is similar to the more common seller’s agent. Just as a seller’s agent represents the interests of a homeowner, a buyer’s agent represents the interests of a prospective buyer.
Whether you are new to the property market or buying property for investment purposes, engaging a buyer's agent can give you an advantage in what is an often intense competitive market.
Working with a buyer's agent will take the stress out of purchasing, give you a competitive advantage, and help you navigate the complexities involved in today’s real estate market.
In simple terms, a buyer’s agent is a real estate expert who guides a buyer through the property purchase process of finding, negotiating, and buying a home or investment. You can call them a representative of a buyer in a real estate deal. A buyer’s agent is legally bound to protect the interests of the buyer and ensures they are getting the best deal possible for the right property.
It’s simple really. Instead of dealing with the homeowner or the seller’s agent yourself, a buyer’s agent deals with them on your behalf. Think about it. If a homeowner uses an agent, why can’t you do the same as a buyer?

A Buyer’s agent helps you by simplifying the process of purchasing a property in a competitive market.
The first step is to assess what the prospective buyer is looking for in a property and what area they want to buy in.
You could divide a buyer’s agent services into two:
Timar buyers agents could help you locate the property you desire, conduct a thorough assessment, and negotiate a better deal with the agent of the homeowner on your behalf.
You could also involve a Timar buyer’s agent only after you have found the right property to help you obtain the property at market price.
Although the second part of a buyer’s agent service usually involves dealing with the seller or their agent on your behalf. A buyer’s agent could also represent you at property auctions.
