It does take a lot of time, effort, skills and experience in:
Looking at various market/location that may be suitable
Understanding the nuances between each suburb or different streets in each suburb
Deciphering the value of each property
Going through the process of negotiation and the legalities
Inspecting the property in detail, identifying positives and negatives
Driving to and from to many locations, negotiating traffic, etc……….
That’s when we come in with our skills and expertise, doing all that and more for you

When you have all the time and want to do all the research, looking for the property and conducting all the negotiations yourself OR
When you are just monitoring the market, having a look and see approach and not really ready to commit.
The value of a buyer advocate is a good sounding board even if you have done all your research. The role of the buyer advocate in this case is to help you make informed choices.
