A vendor advocate is a professional advisor who supports property sellers (vendors) through the often complex and stressful process of selling a home or investment property. We work closely with you to provide expert guidance and support, aiming to reduce stress, save time, and achieve better sale results.   

There are two main fee models used by vendor advocates.  Some share the sales commission with the real estate agent and may promote their service as ‘free’. Others charge a separate fee, which offers greater transparency and is independent.

We charge a fee for our services, which varies depending on the property's value, location, and the additional services needed. We negotiate the agent’s commission on your behalf with the aim of off-setting our fee. Other services are charged at an hourly rate, and an administration fee on any expenses we cover on your behalf.

With deep knowledge of the real estate market, vendor advocates are skilled on advising on property presentation, selecting the most appropriate real estate agent, and working with the agent to obtain the maximum value for your property.   They help you avoid costly mistakes, and ensure the property is not undersold.

We can arrange for the clearing and selling of household goods, advise and manage property improvements, and generally take care of all aspects of the sale for the vendor. We review the weekly campaign reports provided by the real estate agent to make sure everything is running smoothly. We make recommendations to adjust the marketing campaign if it’s not on track.

We manage all third parties including tradesmen, gardeners and conveyancers, - to save you time and effort. Our team also reviews all legal documents to ensure the information is complete and accurate.

Auction day can be intense. We help you set your reserve, plan your pricing strategy, and guide you through every decision with a written Pre-Auction Report. We’re by your side on the day to help reduce stress and drive a better result. 

We take care of it all, so you can get the best price without the stress or unnecessary costs.  As most people rarely sell property, using a vendor advocate makes good sense.

Real estate agents are focused on marketing the property and closing the sale. They often need to balance the interests of both buyers and sellers. As a vendor advocate, our advice is completely independent and always in your best interest we work exclusively for you — the seller — to ensure a fair, transparent sales process while saving you time, reducing stress, and helping you achieve the best possible price for your property.

We manage every aspect of the sale including tradesmen, gardeners and conveyancers, as well as managing the real estate agent. Our team also review vendor questionnaires, Section 32s and contracts to ensure the information is complete and accurate. We can also take care of decluttering, removing, storing or selling household goods.
