Services / Vendor advocacy
You’ve made the big decision to sell your property and the stress is building.
Selling your home will be smooth sailing
Which month should you sell? How much should you spend preparing and marketing your property? And which agent should you trust to get you the best price? It’s a lot to decipher and the stakes are high.
But what if you didn’t have to go it alone? Partner with us, the vendor advocate Melbourne raves about, and selling your property will be a smooth, stress-free and successful journey.
Your trusted vendor advocates in Melbourne
A vendor advocate is essentially an intermediary between you and your real estate agent. They reduce the stress of the selling process by dealing with the agent on your behalf and ensuring your team is accountable and working hard for you.
What is a vendor advocate?
Like the sound of a vendor advocate but don’t want to fork out extra cash to hire one? Great news – they’re usually free! Because vendor advocates prepare most of the sale before handing over to the real estate agent, the agent covers their fee by giving them some of the commission in return for doing most of the leg work.
Working with a vendor advocate is a win-win: good for real estate agents because it makes their job easier and good for you because you get a better result without paying a cent!
