It is generally considered that selling the Family home can be a rather traumatic time, this was certainly the case for me when I placed my Keilor home on the market a couple of years ago.

Why use a VIP Property Advocate

Why use a Buyer’s Advocate?

Many think that using the services of a buyers’ advocate is too expensive. This is not the case. Buyers’ advocates can save you money, time and stress, whatever your budget. In the US, over 80% of buyers use a buyers’ advocate to assist in the purchasing process. In Australia it’s still a new & growing industry, with the first buyer's advocate appearing in 1997. If you choose a licensed, professional buyers’ advocate, the savings you make on your next property could run into tens of thousands of dollars, and could be less stressful and is likely to take less of your precious time.

Why use a VIP Buyer’s Advocate? Here's 8 Important Reasons Why!

  1. Use a professional negotiator to obtain the lowest possible price. We have been in the industry for over 20 years in sales, auctioneers and property advocates.
  2. Gain access to a wider choice of properties (many not even be advertised). We receive information about ‘Off the market’ properties that are on the quiet or not listed with an agent. Giving you the edge over the competition.
  3. Reduce the amount of time searching for property. It takes on average 8 - 12 weeks, or around 100 – 120 hours for us to locate the best property. We know buyers who have been looking themselves for 6 - 12 months!
  4. Eliminate the stress and frustration of being shown inappropriate and unsuitable properties by selling agents that don't listen to the buyers' needs. Agents are limited to what they have to sell, and will try to convince you to buy something that really doesn’t suit your needs.
  5. Have an independent professional buyers' advocate on your side, exclusively representing your best interests, not the vendors! We independently assess the value of every property before you buy, to ascertain its true value in the current market.
  6. Source the right type of property in locations with good prospects for capital growth and that suits your lifestyle needs.
  7. Help investors build their property portfolio steadily by buying in growth areas with good yields. We are wealth creators!
  8. Help bid at auction, ensure we secure the property, at the best possible price and terms/conditions, whilst taking away the stress and the emotion. VIP Buyer’s Advocates have the best success rate due to their unique bidding system.

A buyers’ advocate can help you in different ways, depending on the level of involvement you seek. They can do all the searching and negotiating for you, as well as coordinating all of the necessary support services like solicitors, building inspectors and property managers. Alternatively, if you like doing your own searching, they can assist you just at the negotiation and evaluation stage.

Why use a VIP Exclusive Vendor Advocate? Here's some great reasons why!

The role of an estate agent is to exclusively act on behalf of the vendor. Because they are dealing with the buyers as well, the system lends itself to conflict of interest.

Here are a few good reasons to use a VIP Vendor's Advocate

  1. We exclusively act on behalf of the vendor. Throughout the process we do not deal with the buyer.
  2. We interview the agents with you to ascertain who the best agent will be to sell your home and achieve the best result.
  3. We negotiate the best commission structure, with real incentives for the agent to achieve the best possible price.
  4. We recommend the best cost effective marketing to target the demographic buyers suited for your home.
  5. Recommend the best selling method, whether it's private sale, auction or by tender.
  6. Ensure you are well informed throughout the selling process, and getting regular feedback, so you can make well informed decisions.
  7. Be there throughout the negotiations, keeping you at arms length from the pressure agents are criticised for at auction or private sale.
  8. We ensure the conditions and terms (eg. settlement), suits you, and not only the buyer. Remember, it's your castle, and your right to make the final decision.
  9. The service is at no extra cost to you! You effectively have two professionals giving you the best advice, and our common goal is to achieve the best possible price in the current market for you.
