Virtual Buyers Agent(TM)
A buyer's agent provides a service; Virtual Buyers Agent provides software for self-directed research. Compare their different roles and confirm a provider's current service and fee terms directly.
A licensed professional engaged by a buyer to search for, inspect, negotiate on and bid for property on their behalf. Scope and fees are set in an individual engagement.
Software for checking a property you have already found. It holds no real estate licence and no AFSL, does not search for you, and does not tell you what to buy.
Every cross in this grid is about us. A dash means we have not verified it, not that the answer is no.
What a buyer's agent does, and what this workspace does.
Virtual Buyers Agent
Every plan, including Free. Plans differ by volume, not by feature.
Buyer's Agent
Varies by agent. Ask for their service schedule and licence number.

Capabilities that sit outside this software workflow.
A buyer's agent may offer search, inspection, negotiation, bidding, and transaction support. Confirm the exact scope with the provider.
Virtual Buyers Agent does not negotiate or bid. A suitably licensed buyer's agent may offer those services under an engagement.
Some buyer's agents may source properties through their networks. Virtual Buyers Agent does not source properties; it works with properties you add.
Where a self-directed, source-labelled workflow may fit the work you want to do.
Supported calculations expose their inputs and assumptions so you can check how a displayed figure was produced.
The same workspace structure can be reused across properties, with current monthly property limits shown on the pricing page.
Supported figures show their inputs, assumptions, and available source labels so you can check the working and identify what still needs verification.
Virtual Buyers Agent provides a self-directed workflow. A buyer can still engage licensed professionals for advice, inspection, legal work, finance, negotiation, or other services.
What the workflow is
Nothing above changes what the work is. The workspace asks the same things in the same order, whatever else you decide to use alongside it.
The properties you are actually weighing up, in one place, with the listing, the notes and the numbers attached to them.
The same named checks open on every one — the rates, the levy, the documents, the settlement costs.
What you saw, recorded against the property while you still remember it, rather than left in a photo roll.
What is still needed, visible, so the decision is made with the gaps in front of you.
Yes. Virtual Buyers Agent can organise your recorded facts, assumptions, and outstanding checks while a buyer's agent provides services covered by a separate engagement.
No. Virtual Buyers Agent is a software workflow for self-directed research. A buyer's agent may provide negotiation, sourcing, and transaction services under an engagement. The roles are different.
They perform different roles. Virtual Buyers Agent is software with source-labelled inputs and transparent calculations where supported. A buyer's agent provides professional services under an engagement. Neither should be treated as a substitute for the licensed specialists your circumstances require.

The guided workflow, the decision tools and the document due-diligence checklist. No credit card required — decide for yourself whether this or a buyer's agent is what you were looking for.
General information only — not financial, legal, tax, or investment advice. Virtual Buyers Agent does not hold an AFSL or a real estate licence. Check your circumstances with appropriately licensed professionals before acting.
