When a buyer's agent runs your search.
Pro-tier propautopilot powers the research desk behind a buyer's agent. Every shortlisted suburb is traceable to a buyer profile, score inputs, and source-backed reasoning.
Engaging a buyer's agent is the right call if your time is limited, you're buying interstate, or your brief is complex enough that a generalist real-estate-agent search won't cut it. REBAA-member buyer's agents charge a fixed engagement fee or a percentage of purchase price; they work for the buyer, not the vendor.
Pro-tier propautopilot accounts let buyer's agents run multiple clients in one workspace. Each client gets their own brief, capacity model, suburb shortlist, valuation comps, and offer history. The buyer's-agent's published research is co-branded: the client sees the buyer's agent's logo alongside our citations.
What you get if your buyer's agent uses the platform: each claim in their brief is tied to a source trail where the data supports it; their valuation process separates settled-sales records from asking-price indicators; their offer position is calibrated against independent inputs; and the suburb shortlist can be explained against the same buyer profile inside Compass.
What it doesn't change: you still pay the buyer's agent for their time and expertise. The platform makes their research auditable. It doesn't replace the relationship.
