Finding the property is just the beginning. Getting the price right, negotiating effectively, and avoiding costly contract mistakes requires professional expertise — even when you have done the searching yourself. Collings Property Advisory provides everything you need to complete the purchase confidently.

What Happens After You Find a Property

Once you have identified a property you want to buy, there are several critical steps where buyers commonly make expensive mistakes:

• Valuation — relying on the agent’s guide price rather than verified comparable sales
• Opening offer — anchoring too high and losing negotiating room
• Emotional attachment — paying more than the market supports because you love the property
• Agent pressure — believing claims of competing offers without verification
• Contract conditions — missing finance clause, building inspection, or sunset clause protections

How Collings Property Advisory Helps

Our fixed-fee advisory service ($4,500 + GST) covers every stage of the purchase process after you have found your property:

Step 1 — Independent Valuation

We conduct a rigorous comparable sales analysis using actual sold prices (not agent guide prices) to establish the true market value of the property. You will know exactly what the property is worth before you make a single offer.

Step 2 — GeeVee AI Analysis

Our GeeVee AI property intelligence platform scores the property across location quality, growth potential, rental yield, infrastructure access, and investment suitability. You get a clear picture of what you are buying.

Step 3 — Offer Strategy

We develop your offer strategy — opening price, escalation plan, conditions to include, and a clear walk-away point based on comparable evidence.

Step 4 — Agent Negotiations

We negotiate directly with the selling agent on your behalf. We understand agent tactics, how to test competing offer claims, and how to structure conditions that protect your interests.

Step 5 — Auction Support

If the property goes to auction, we develop your bidding strategy and can attend to bid on your behalf with a clear evidence-based ceiling.

Step 6 — Contract Guidance

We coordinate with your conveyancer or solicitor to ensure the contract conditions protect you before you sign.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you help?

We can typically complete a comparable analysis and be ready to negotiate within 24 to 48 hours of engagement. If you have a property under contract or an imminent auction, contact us immediately.

Do you replace my conveyancer or solicitor?

No. Our role is property advisory and negotiation. Your conveyancer or solicitor handles the legal and contract work. We work alongside them.

Is this cheaper than a buyers agent?

Significantly. Full buyers advocacy fees in Melbourne typically range from $15,000 to $25,000. Our fixed advisory fee is $4,500 + GST regardless of the property price.
