Selling your property, even with a real estate agent, can be a very difficult and time-consuming task. One of the biggest uncertainties for sellers is whether they’ve selected the right real estate agent.
When speaking to real estate agents, a common issue arises: you might talk to several agents, some of whom overquote while others underquote, leaving you unsure of whom to trust. Selecting the correct sale price is arguably the most important part of your sale. If you get it wrong, you risk losing potential buyers who think the property is out of their price range—simply because an agent exaggerated to win your listing. On the other hand, underquoting can result in selling for less than your property’s true value because the agent prioritized a quick and easy sale.
This is where a Vendor Advocate comes in.
A Vendor Advocate is a licensed real estate professional who helps property sellers navigate the entire sales process while working solely in their best interests. They provide expert guidance, help you select the best real estate agent, and ensure you secure the highest possible sale price. By managing time-consuming tasks, reducing stress, and offering unbiased advice, a Vendor Advocate makes selling your property easier and more efficient. Their goal is to ensure a smooth, profitable sale while protecting your interests at every stage.
Using a Vendor Advocate saves you time, reduces stress, provides expert guidance, and, most importantly, helps you achieve a higher sale price through strategic pricing, correct agent selection, and skilled negotiation.
The best part? The service of a Vendor Advocate is often provided at no cost to you. They receive a portion of the agent’s commission, so you benefit from their expertise without paying extra fees. They even work with you to negotiate lower fees from the real estate agent.
At Gardenia, we connect you with the best Vendor Advocates in Australia based on your property’s location, ensuring you can sell your property with confidence and achieve the best possible outcome.
Independent Property Review: Your Vendor Advocate conducts an in-depth appraisal of your property, analyzing local market trends and suggesting strategies to maximize your investment returns.
Selecting a Selling Agent: Choosing the right agent is critical. Your Vendor Advocate shortlists the top agents based on their track record, sales success, and customer feedback. They attend agent interviews with you to ensure you make the best choice.
Marketing Campaign: To ensure maximum exposure, your Vendor Advocate reviews the agent’s marketing plan. They provide advice on the best methods to attract a broad range of buyers, ensuring your property gets the attention it deserves.
Examining & Negotiating Offers: When offers come in, your Vendor Advocate helps you evaluate each one and offers you advice to secure favourable terms, securing a sale at the highest price with favorable conditions.
Sale to Settlement: Throughout the final settlement process, your vendor advocate provides support and guidance, ensuring a smooth and efficient closing.
