Why do I need a vendor advocate?

Selling a home or investment property  is typically one of the biggest and most stressful transactions people will make. There is the risk of engaging the wrong agent or agency and making significant and costly mistakes.

Vendor advocates, also known as seller advocates, are licenced real estate agents who act as your personal advisor to ensure you achieve the best result when selling your property.

The first important decision is which real estate agent and agency to use. But how do you know which agent is going to achieve the maximum sale price? Especially, when agents can over inflate the value of a property to secure the listing. 

Entrusting a real estate agent to sell what is likely your most valuable possession is a difficult decision.

A vendor must trust that the selling agent is experienced, thoroughly understands the current market, knows the precise marketing strategy to use, the method of sale to recommend, is charging a fair and equitable fee to sell your property, and most importantly will get you the best possible price and terms.

This is when having a vendor's advocate can help safeguard you and provide a stress-free experience.

Vendor advocates will guide you through the process, providing a personal service with impartial feedback and advice, helping you make the best decisions that will ultimately affect the outcome of the sale of your property.

Our method

The first step in our process is to invite vetted local real estate agents who have a proven track record of finding qualified buyers and the right skills set, to conduct their appraisals. After which, we thoroughly interview  the shortlisted agents who will present their sales approach, including their market appraisal, proposed marketing strategy and budget, as well as their fee or commission. 

Consideration is given to the recommended method of sale and any recommendations for property improvements. 

We then consult with you and evaluate each of the proposals and recommend who we believe the best agent and agency will be to sell your property and achieve the best result; However, ultimately, the final selection is at the vendor's discretion.

Unfortunately, some real estate agents can set unrealistic expectations to win your listing, only to leave sellers' hopes slowly deflated.

So we independently appraise your property. We provide balanced feedback and help set realistic expectations of what your home could fetch in the current property market.

After the agent is appointed, we then collaboratively work with the agent to oversee the correct completion of agreements and ensure the marketing campaign meets your requirements and budget.  We liaise with the agent who organises professional photography of your property, schedules open inspections, and appointments.

Throughout the process we keep you updated, providing all feedback to ensure a smooth process so that everything stays on course through to settlement.
