Before I became a buyer's agent, I spent over a decade finding what's wrong with houses.
Not looking at them. Inspecting them. Forensically. I trained Master Builders Association members how to do it properly for five years. That was my job before this one.
So when a client can't fly over to physically walk through a property, they're not trusting me to pick something decent. They're trusting that nothing gets missed. A cracked slab, dodgy drainage, a roof that's had three patch jobs and is due for a full replacement. The stuff that changes the numbers completely.
Most buyer's agents don't have that background. The credential isn't a badge I hang on the wall. It's the reason a red flag won't slip through while Perth and Adelaide prices keep moving and your savings sit waiting.
If you're watching the market climb from the sidelines because you can't be there in person, let's talk about what a proper set of eyes on the ground actually looks like.
