You spent months searching. You drove the streets, inspected dozens of properties, and finally found the one. Now the question is: do you need a buyers agent to help you buy it?
The short answer: you do not need a full buyers agent. But you do need professional support before you make an offer. That is exactly what Collings Property Advisory is designed for.
What a Buyers Agent Does (And What You Already Did Yourself)
A full buyers advocacy service has two main components:
- Property search — finding properties that match your criteria
- Due diligence and negotiation — analysing, valuing and negotiating the purchase
If you found the property yourself, you have already done step one. Paying a full buyers agent $15,000 to $25,000 now means paying for a service you do not need.
What You Actually Need at This Stage
Once you have found a property, the three things that will determine whether you get a good result are:
- Knowing what it is worth — a rigorous comparable sales analysis, not an agent’s guide price
- Having a negotiation strategy — how to open, when to escalate, when to walk away
- Having someone negotiate for you — a professional who does not have an emotional attachment to the property
Collings Property Advisory: Built for This Situation
Our advisory service was specifically created for buyers who found their own property. For a fixed fee of $4,500 + GST, we provide:
- Independent market value assessment
- Comparable sales report (actual sold prices, not listed prices)
- GeeVee AI investment and property analysis
- Opening offer strategy and price anchoring advice
- Direct negotiation with the selling agent
- Counter-offer management
- Auction strategy and bidding support if needed
- Contract condition guidance
How Much Could You Overpay Without Support?
Australian buyers who negotiate without professional support commonly overpay by:
- $15,000 to $30,000 on properties under $800,000
- $30,000 to $60,000 on properties between $800,000 and $1.5 million
- $50,000 to $100,000+ on properties above $1.5 million
A $4,500 advisory fee invested in professional negotiation is one of the best returns available in property.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a property advisor help even if I already made an offer?
Yes. If your offer is still in negotiation or under a cooling-off period, we can review your position, assess the comparable evidence, and advise on whether to proceed or renegotiate.
What if the property goes to auction?
Our service includes full auction strategy. We will set an evidence-based ceiling price and can attend and bid on your behalf.
Do I need to be in Melbourne?
No. We provide remote advisory services for properties across Australia. Most of our comparable analysis and agent negotiations are handled by phone and email.
