A Buyer’s Advocate, is a licensed Real Estate Professional who represents and protects the interests of property buyers during the entire property purchasing process.

Unlike Real Estate Agents or Selling Agents who work for vendors to secure the best price and terms for their clients, a Buyer’s Advocate is a licensed Real Estate professional that exclusively works on behalf of you, the buyer.

They provide transparent, trustworthy and personalised guidance and experienced support for the buyer. A Buyer’s Advocates primary goal is to find the right property, negotiate the best possible deal and ensure a smooth, stress-free transaction, saving you, the buyer, time and heartache along the way.

Buying property is one of the most significant investments you’ll make. Having an experienced Buyer’s Advocate on your side can save you time, money and stress, ensuring the property is right for your needs and avoiding costly buying mistakes.
Not only do we have access to off market opportunities, we help you navigate the complexities of the market, avoid common pitfalls, and make confident, informed decisions and secure a home that you love.

We specialise in helping buyers find homes to live in. We focus on owner-occupiers in Melbourne’s inner eastern and inner northern suburbs. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, upsizing or downsizing, we work with your budget and your specific brief.

A benefit of having a Buyer’s Advocate is access to off market opportunities. Through our extensive local network and relationship with Real Estate Agents, we often gain access to properties before they hit the public market.
These off-market opportunities can give you an edge in finding your dream home before it ever reaches the general public.

Of course you can. However remember who the agent represents. Their job is to maximise the seller’s result. Without strategic positioning, you’re revealing your budget and urgency before you’ve built leverage. If you've bid at auction and missed out, they know your budget, where you tapped out, other properties you've missed or where your budget has been willing to stretch to. When you're represented, your identity remains private and the agents know they're dealing with a serious buyer.

In a market where Buyers are more commonly enging professional representation, yes. When we are representing a buyer, we work during the week (not just on Saturdays or in lunch breaks), searching, shortlisting, inspecting and performaing due dilligence. Unless someone is screening, inspecting and assessing on your behalf. Many homes are often identified and negotiated before most buyers even step inside.

Auction guides are often strategic marketing tools. The more likely sale price should be based on recent comparable market sales, understanding of the buyer depth in that micro-pocket, land value and current demand momentum. This is an inclusive part of our evaluation process when we work together.

Missing small details in contracts that favour the vendor, zoning overlays, building issues, school zone assumptions, overcapitalising in the wrong pocket. In the affluent inner suburbs of Melbourne, small oversights are expensive mistakes.

Preparation, speed, positioning and understanding the market. Sellers favour buyers who appear decisive, financially strong and low-risk. Every property, vendor desires and agent represents a different dynamic. Each property requires a different strategy.

Absolutely. Our Negotiation Only service is perfect for buyers who’ve found their ideal property but want an expert to secure the best price and terms.
With a negotiation service, the Advocate Agency will handle all communication with the Selling Agent and use our market knowledge to negotiate on your behalf.

Yes we can! Our Auction Only service ensures you’re represented by an experienced professional who can bid confidently and strategically on your behalf. We’ll discuss your budget and strategy beforehand and take the stress out of auction day.

Our fees depend on the service you choose and the scope of your requirements. 
We offer a transparent fee structure and once we have an understanding of your requirements from a Discovery call, we will discuss your investment during our Strategy Call.

Simply book in and schedule an initial 15 minute discovery call. We’ll hear your journey on finding the right home so far, discuss your property goals and see if we can help you, then if all goes well, we will proceed in booking a longer strategy call that is tailored to you and we can discuss the requirements, availability and investment into the service.
