Our 7 Step Process to Selling Your Property
Our Melbourne vendor advocacy service is designed to ensure that property sellers are given the correct information from real estate agents
1 Initial Consultation
Once you have been in contact with our office, one of our experienced advocates will take the time to meet with you to discuss your needs and how we may be able to assist.
This consultation is FREE and there is absolutely no obligation to use our service.
We will explore in detail your specific concerns and expectations in an open and transparent way, so that we know what we offer you will match your aims.
2 Interviewing The Best Agents
Once you have decided to use our service, our first task is to interview who we believe are the best agents in your area to sell your property.
We will ask the agents to provide a report which will include their opinion of value, justify this value with compelling reasons, a proposed marketing plan with costs and their rate of commission.
Because we take the time to be this thorough, you can rest assured that you are not overwhelmed or baffled, and can make informed decisions, while not under undue pressure.
3 Arranging An Independent Valuation
To accurately asses the current value of your property in the market place at any given time, it is important to have an independent valuation conducted by a Licensed Valuer.
This sworn valuation will allow us to compare against the agents opinions. As you test the market and try to understand the value of your home or investment property, it can be confusing.
Our process means you can be confident that you know what your property is worth
4 Appointing An Agent
It’s important to get the agent and campaign that is right for you and your home.
As it’s one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make, finding that right agent is crucial. Once we have received the agents’ reports and sworn valuation, we will review all aspects of their proposals including comparing their opinion of value against the independent valuation and the sort of marketing/advertising proposed.
Once reviewed, we will once again meet with you to discuss the proposals and sworn valuations and put forward our recommendations.
5 The Sale Campaign
Before your property is advertised, the appointed real estate agent will forward to you and us a copy of all marketing material to be proofed. This includes photos, ad copy etc.
Once you are happy with these proofs your property can then be advertised. Once the sale campaign is underway, the agent is to keep not only you informed but they are also to keep us informed during the whole campaign.
This is especially important after any open for inspection or appointments conducted at your property, so that we can accurately gauge feedback.
6 Buyer Negotiations
If your property is being sold via a private sale or closing date campaign, we will ensure all offers that the agent receives are negotiated for the highest possible price and that the terms of these contracts are in your best interests.
Alternatively, if your property is being sold at auction, we will attend on the day of the auction to ensure that everything runs smoothly and you are not being bullied to lower your reserve price.
Best of all, should the appointed agent not meet their obligations under which they were chosen we have the power to simply change agents.
7 Support To Settlement
Too often agents are only too happy to make you take a long settlement on an offer simply because the buyer has promised the agent their house to sell if they can convince the seller to a longer settlement.
Because we handle the final negotiation, these issues have no bearing on our ability to ensure your rights are met.
Once your property is sold, we will assist in liaising with your conveyancer or solicitor as well as provide advice for final inspection by the purchaser. We are happy to provide any other assistance we can to ensure you have a smooth settlement.
