Property Development Buyers Agents

Expert Property Development Consultants

Successful property developers know that securing the right site is the first step to maximising your project’s potential.

At Costi Cohen, we offer tailored services to meet the unique needs of developers, helping you identify and purchase high-value commercial properties.

Why do you need a buyer’s agent
for property development?

Whether you’re a seasoned developer or new to the industry, partnering with an expert offers several key advantages.

Prime development sites are often highly sought after and rarely reach the open market. Buyer’s agents have extensive networks and industry connections, giving their property developer clients access to off-market and pre-market opportunities that are unavailable to the general public.

Property development requires in-depth market knowledge and thorough feasibility studies. Property development consultants make sure that you’re looking at properties that align with your development goals, considering factors such as zoning, future infrastructure plans and market demand. Additionally, often included in property development consulting services are comprehensive feasibility studies to assess the viability of a project.

Negotiating the purchase of development sites requires specialised skills and experience. A skilled buyer’s agent will advocate on your behalf, negotiating favourable prices and terms, and ensuring a smooth and efficient transaction.

Searching for suitable property development sites can be time-consuming, pulling focus away from the execution of your project. A buyer’s agent streamlines the acquisition process, allowing developers to concentrate on planning, financing and construction.

Unlike purchasing an existing commercial property, developers may need to purchase adjoining properties to create a viable development site. A buyer’s agent can handle this process for you, negotiating with the landowners and ensuring a cost-effective consolidation.

The Costi Cohen process

At Costi Cohen, we understand that every property development project has specific requirements. That’s why we focus on tailoring our approach to match your objectives.

We begin with an in-depth consultation with you and your team. We aim to understand your vision, financial targets and risk tolerance so that we can align our property search with your investment strategy.

Once we understand your property development goals, we use our extensive market knowledge, site profiling and industry network to identify opportunities that meet your criteria. During this process, we consider zoning, land size, location, future infrastructure plans and market demand.
We conduct thorough due diligence for all our buyers. For property development, this includes assessing planning constraints, local government regulations and market viability. Our goal is to make you aware of any potential risks that could impact the success of your project.
We handle all aspects of the negotiation process, using our experience and market knowledge to secure your development site.
We provide ongoing support throughout your property development process. For example, we have in-depth knowledge of the current regulatory requirements and building approvals. We can help guide you through this process. We will also keep you up to date on market trends and future investment opportunities.

The risks of
DIY development property acquisition

While some developers may consider handling their site acquisitions independently, this approach comes with significant risks that can impact project success and profitability:

Without a property development consultant with market insight and negotiation experience, you can risk overpaying for a property, which can impact profit.
Accurate sales or lease projections are key for project feasibility. Doing this yourself could lead to incorrect projections, leaving you with unsold units or vacant spaces. You might overestimate market demand or underestimate competition, resulting in lower-than-anticipated revenue, impacting the overall success of your property development project.
Attempting to handle the purchasing process yourself can lead to delays in finding a suitable property, dealing with multiple agents, slow negotiations and extended due diligence. This can mean you miss important project deadlines, increasing your costs and potentially reducing your overall returns.
