Introducing Buyer’s Agent
Buying a property is a significant and expensive transaction with long term financial implications that needs to be well thought through. If you buy informed and wisely, a property acquisition can easily become the best financial investment in your lifetime, plus it adds a lot of enjoyment. If not, it can as easily become the worst decision in your life and cause financial distress.
The smart way of buying property requires access to reliable information about the correct assessment of a property, the conditions of the real estate market, the area and location where one intends to buy and last but not least, about the real and fiscal environment that govern property acquisitions.
This becomes all the more daunting, if you are to buy in a foreign country and a foreign cultural environment, where a ‘yes’ can actually mean ‘no’.
That’s why a buyer’s agent can add a lot of value to your investment and make the acquisition of your dream villa not only easy but also pleasant. A good buyer’s agent has many years of experience in Bali’s property market, helps you to avoid the pitfalls on the way, understands where the market is going, and has the local expertise that is so important to select the right neighbourhood for your property.
But even more important than the buyer’s agent’s knowhow is the fact that she or he is working exclusively for you. Only for you!
That is not the case in the Bali real estate market, where agents are paid by vendors and therefore act for an on behalf of those vendors. The interests of the Bali real estate agent is aligned with the interests of the seller – not your interests as a buyer.
And that’s why buying smart requires you to appoint a buyer’s agent that has only your interest in mind and is paid and controlled by you: the buyer. It is simply impossible to faithfully represent the best interests of opposing clients, in the same transaction, simultaneously!
[In fact, in certain States of the United States, the law prohibits agents to work as dual agencies!]

George Du Bois
"I am constantly traveling around the world and do not have time to work with organizations who do not deliver. The most important word I can use to describe the relationship I have with Exotiq is 'trust'. I have property investments in several countries, developed and developing countries, and I can say that Exotiq are up there with the best of the best. They look after my needs in Bali."
Ash & Noma Nainar
"We were delighted with the service we received from Exotiq. They quickly appreciated our equirements and presented some excellent alternatives. When it came to negotiating on a property they were able to influence the vendor to come up with a deal acceptable with us. Very satisfied with all aspects and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Exotiq."
Andrew Scripture QC
"We have dealt with real estate agents in several parts of the world and particularly in Phuket. The people at Exotiq were a delight to deal with: their endless help and sound advice steered us effortlessly through what could otherwise have been stormy waters, in buying land, registering it and building the house of our dreams. We would recommend them to anyone wanting an outstanding service at an affordable price."
Barry Williams
"To be very honest, when I dropped into Exotiq's office in Sanur I had no intention of buying a villa; I was just researching the feasibility of doing so. The amazing thing about Exotiq was they completely understood what sort of property I would like. They only showed me one villa; there was no need to see more because I bought it! Don't waste time shopping around, just visit Exotiq."
Brad Sullivan
"It has been a pleasure working with Exotiq Property. They are knowledgeable about local markets and provided me with much needed help and contacts for navigating the ins and outs of foreign property purchase. It is a firm that I trust and I will do business with again."
Darrell Smith
"When deciding to look for property in the Seminyak area of Bali the choice of real estate agents and variety of properties available on the market was overwhelming and confusing. Exotiq, unlike other agents, represented multiple properties and provided excellent analysis of the market. Their clear analysis and unbiased opinions were a refreshing change from other agents who were inevitably selling only their preferred projects."

Frequently Asked Questions
Your select your agent through an interview and sign an exclusive agreement valid for a limited length of time. Then you work out a detailed brief and your agent starts hunting for properties. You review the selections online and decide on a shortlist. Then we inspect the properties and prepare an offer. We then conduct due diligence and if all is clean, we draft the sales agreement and you become the proud new owner of your chosen property.
You can either select a percentage of the sale price as a fee for your agent or you can opt for a fixed amount. As a guideline, commission levels in Bali payable by the seller are 5%. If you enter an exclusive agreement with a buyer’s agent, the fee can be negotiated below that amount. Note: any commission due from the seller to the agent will belong to you.
No, you won’t. Most likely you will end up paying quite a bit less. Being your exclusive agent, we have a stronger bargaining position and can negotiate harder on your behalf.
You save time by working with only one agent you trust instead of having to deal with multiple agents that are offering you the same properties.
Yes, you will have access to the entire selection of listings from all agents on the island. We cooperate with all qualified agents and have access to all their listings.
Simply because you deserve the best possible service from your real estate agent and because you want your agent to be on your side and not the seller’s.
This is a new service offered by Exotiq to provide buyers a more efficient and more professional access to the property market. This service is common in more developed real estate markets like in Australia or the United States, but it’s new for Bali. A buyer’s agent is representing the interests of the buyer and the buyer only. The agent is paid by the buyer and not by the seller, which is normally the case in Bali.
