Collings Property Advisory is Melbourne’s leading independent property advisory service. If you’ve found a property you love, want to sell privately, or simply need expert guidance before making your biggest financial decision, our fixed-fee advisory gives you professional support without the cost of full representation.

Melbourne’s Property Market in 2026

Melbourne remains one of Australia’s most competitive property markets. Inner-north suburbs like Northcote, Ivanhoe, and Brunswick regularly see properties sell $50,000-$150,000 above reserve at auction. Without professional guidance, buyers consistently overpay and sellers leave money on the table.

What Melbourne Buyers Get Wrong

• Bidding at auction without a clear walk-away strategy
• Accepting agent price guidance without independent verification
• Missing comparable sales data that changes negotiating position
• Failing to identify issues in the Section 32 vendor statement
• Paying above true market value due to emotional decision-making

What Melbourne Sellers Get Wrong

• Accepting the first offer without understanding buyer motivation
• Setting a price without current comparable sales analysis
• Paying 2-2.5% agent commission when advisory support costs a fraction of that
• Not qualifying buyers before entering negotiation

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Collings different from a Melbourne buyers agent?

A buyers agent in Melbourne typically charges 2-3% of the purchase price to find and acquire property for you. Our advisory service costs a fixed $4,500 + GST and is designed for buyers who’ve already found the property but need expert negotiation and valuation support.

Do you cover all Melbourne suburbs?

Yes. While our core expertise is in inner-north Melbourne, we provide advisory services across all Melbourne suburbs and greater metro areas.

Can you help me at an auction in Melbourne?

Yes. Auction strategy and bidding support is included in the buyer advisory service. We help you set a clear limit, read the room, and negotiate if the property passes in.
