A buyer's agent is one of the most integral elements when looking to buy a new property. We have heard both good and bad experiences on the show when it comes to investors using buyer's agents, but how do you know if you have found the right one?

In this episode of the Smart Property Investment Show, Chris McMullen has told us why he spent more time looking for his buyer's agent, than what he did looking for his most recent property, why he educated himself through seminars, this show and getting out into the field to be able to determine the good from the bad.

The long-time listener explains why this show "was a bit of a turning point" for his investment journey and how he utilises other guest's personal stories, experiences and mistakes as research towards buying his own properties.

Chris also shares what he would have said to himself a year ago with what he knows now, as well as where he hopes to be in a years-time.
