Selling

“Forearmed is forewarned , you need to have been there yourself, to understand it.”

Introduction

Very few advocates have Rob’s agency experience. Before Advocacy, Rob spent a lifetime working as an agent. As an advocate, Rob is highly respected by his agency peers and it is this mutual respect that gives Rob a distinct advantage holding agents to account.

How does Vendor Advocacy work?

One of the most common questions Vendors ask is how much extra does it cost to have an Advocate. The answer is there is no additional cost. The commission is shared in the same way agents work together or when one agent refers a listing to another. The only difference is in the role I play as your advocate to make sure your interests are properly looked after.

How do you know which Agent is right?

Selecting a real estate agent can be a daunting experience. The interview is not about you, it is all about the agent, it is their show time. The problem is if you have not been through this process before, how do you know which agent is going to deliver the best outcome when they all talk the same? Or which agent is game enough to tell you the truth about what your home is really worth before the authority is signed?

This is when having an independent expert by your side really counts. Rob is one of Melbourne’s most experienced advocates who is not only well connected with the best agents, but knows how they behave and how best to safeguard your interests. That means you can be confident your agent does not under deliver on the sale of your house from the get-go.

What does a Vendor Advocate Do?

Without obligation, I will Inspect the property and provide independent advice on presentation, timing and all matters relating to selling
Shortlist the best real estate agents and their personnel for you to choose from
Invite the agents to submit their proposals
Analyse proposals and provide confidential independent recommendations and advice including striking out any unnecessary advertising
Attends Inspections, and where necessary, hold agents to account
Provide vendor with weekly updates of agent / buyer activity
Oversee all sales activity including attending the auction and handle all negotiations on your behalf
At all times, shield you from unnecessary sales pressure

Professional

From Rob’s perspective professionalism is a measure of success, not a title. Rob’s clients always come 1st; he keeps them focused even when they lose sight of their goals or are overwhelmed by advice from other so called experts. Rob is a Pro.

Trusted

The term ‘advocate’ is derived from Latin meaning Counsellor, a person who supports and champions for his clients. It requires trust and respect which Rob has buckets . Relationships are built on trust, and his results are outstanding, you can count on that.

Experienced

You can not buy wisdom off the shelf. To know what is ahead takes years of experience. Like Chess, the game changers in Real Estate happen well before the final move is made. With over 30 years experience Rob will help you stay in front.

Direct

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Like the Colosseum, Real Estate is a maze, filled with intricate traps and a diverse network of corridors. Take the wrong path can be costly. Let Rob show you the best route home and avoid those fatal real estate traps.

Rob did a great job securing a property for us that wasn’t even on the market, and at a substantial discount to the vendor’s initial asking price. A straight shooter and really put the work in to get us the right result.

Rob has acted for a number of my clients over the years. His very thorough and professional approach to managing the marketing of their properties has ensured that in all cases, my clients have been exceptionally happy with the price received for their homes, and I was reminded of this recently when he managed the “repositioning” of a client’s property in Albert Park where I have no doubt the price received was at least $150,000 higher that my client’s expectation.

Rob was a sane and knowledgeable voice amongst lots of varied opinions. His vast experience, relaxed approach and focus really helped steer us through the selling process. Having someone of his experience to navigate the information, paper work and keeping the agents focused was invaluable.

I spent over two years looking for a new apartment and during that time, Rob's experience and pragmatic approach were invaluable. He very patiently guided me through the process and offered sound advice at all times. I was delighted with the outcome. Then he helped me sell my old apartment as well! He is a great advocate to have by your side.

He was able to remove the emotion and pressure from the experience, provided a lot of great insight and advice and always had a logical and rational outlook that comes from his years of experience.

Our family used Rob to sell our mother’s house. It was not a straightforward sale but Rob was able to navigate us through the process seamlessly. We ended up with a much better price than we expected or would have been able to achieve ourselves.We can highly recommend Rob’s professionalism and ability to close the deal.

Rob worked tirelessly to find the right property for me- in difficult times with lockdowns and a very volatile market. He was delightful to work with and I'm very happy with the outcome. Highly recommend.
