I need someone to attend auctions for me. Do I have to get a buyer agent? I don't actually need a buyer agent, I'll be doing all the property selection myself but I can't afford the time and effort to fly down to Melbourne (from Sydney) for each auction (also more importantly I work on saturdays and I can't take this time away).
So what can I do? Do buyers agents do this sort of thing? I really don't even need one, any person can do it for me, but I'm not familiar with the details. Does anyone (e.g. investors who've done this before) have any tips? Does anyone in Melbourne have a few free Saturdays and want to earn some cash?
edit: apparently we'll need a Power of Attorney document set up between us, if we get someone to do this for us. Sounds easy enough!
