1. What does a buyer’s agent do?

A buyer’s agent (or buyer’s advocate) works exclusively on behalf of property buyers to research, find, assess, and negotiate properties that meet your specific needs—saving you time, money, and stress.

2. How is Timar Buyer’s Agency different from a real estate agent?

Traditional real estate agents represent the seller. At Timar, we represent you—the buyer—ensuring your interests come first. We’re independent, unbiased, and act solely on your behalf throughout the buying journey.

3. What areas do you cover?

We buy property across Tasmania, with a strong focus on Greater Hobart, Launceston, the East Coast, and select regional lifestyle and investment areas.

4. What types of property do you buy?

We work across residential, investment, development, and commercial properties—helping owner-occupiers, first-home buyers, and investors secure the right property at the right price.

5. Do you only work with investors?

No—we help a range of clients, from first-time buyers and families to seasoned investors and developers. Whether you're buying your forever home or building a portfolio, we tailor our service to fit.

6. How does the process work?

Our process includes:

1. Discovery call – we learn about your goals

2. Strategy session – we outline the plan, timeline & fees

3. Property search – we research, shortlist, and inspect

4. Due diligence – we assess value, risks, and returns

5. Negotiation & purchase – we secure the best deal

6. Post-purchase support – we guide you through settlement and beyond

7. How much do you charge?

Our fees are transparent and discussed upfront during your strategy session. We offer fixed-fee and tiered packages depending on the service level and property type.

8. Can you help with off-market properties?

Yes. Thanks to our local networks, we regularly access off-market and pre-market opportunities that aren’t publicly listed—giving our clients a crucial edge in competitive markets.

9. Do I need finance before engaging you?

It’s strongly recommended. Having pre-approval in place ensures we can move quickly and confidently once the right property is found. We can connect you with trusted brokers if needed.

10. How long does it take to buy a property?

Most of our clients secure a property within 30–90 days of engagement, depending on brief complexity, market conditions, and finance readiness.

11. Do you offer development or renovation advice?

Yes. With experience in development, zoning, and renovations, we assess a property’s upside and help you plan ahead—whether you’re building wealth or adding value.

12. Why should I use a buyer’s agent in Tasmania?

The Tasmanian market is unique—lower volume, tightly held, and full of nuance. We offer on-the-ground knowledge, data-driven advice, and strong local relationships to give you an advantage.

13. Can you help interstate or overseas buyers?

Absolutely. We frequently assist buyers relocating to Tasmania or investing from afar. Our service is designed to give you confidence and clarity—even from a distance.
