Our Benchmark Reports bridge the gap between inaccurate auto-vals and full-service appraisals.Still need convincing? Our recent case study reveals the value gap between auto-vals and a tailored BBA Benchmark Report
Our Benchmark Report package
Speak to any potential buyer or vendor, and, overwhelmingly, their #1 question is:
“What’s a FAIR PRICE to pay for this property?”
As a Brisbane buyers agent, we are asked this question every day.
The recent sale of 34 Armentieres Street in Brisbane’s inner north is a clear example of the value gap between auto- valuations and a properly considered, tailored Brisbane Buyers’ Agency Benchmark Report.
This very tastefully renovated 1930s house offers 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms on a 402sqm block — on the surface largely similar to many houses in this area. Therefore, the auto-val should be pretty straightforward and accurate, right? Wrong.
The difference between the auto-val estimate and actual sale price?
Auto-valuation estimate: $1.26 million
Actual sale price: $1.5 million
Difference :$250,000
What the auto-val can’t see or assess — and we, as professional buyers’ agents and Brisbane property experts can — is the unique attributes 34 Armentieres offers potential buyers: its natural flow, room sizes, scope for expansion, slope orientation, etc.
