Most Australians buying or selling property face the same problem: they need professional guidance, but they cannot justify paying $15,000-$30,000 for a buyers advocate or 2-3% in real estate agent commission. Property advisory is the answer — expert property analysis, negotiation strategy and transaction support for a fixed fee of $4,500 + GST.

Collings Property Advisory is available to buyers and sellers across Australia.

What Is Property Advisory?

Property advisory is a professional service that sits between DIY property buying and full-service representation. A property advisor is an independent expert who works exclusively for you — not the agent, not the vendor — providing the analysis, strategy and negotiation support you need to transact with confidence.

Collings Property Advisory is a new category in Australian real estate. It is not a buyers agency. It is not a real estate agency. It is an independent advisory service designed for buyers and sellers who want professional expertise without paying full commission.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between property advisory and buyers advocacy?

A buyers advocate searches for properties on your behalf and typically charges 1.5-2.5% of the purchase price. A property advisor works with you on a property you have already identified — or helps you sell — for a flat $4,500 + GST. If you have found your property, you do not need a buyers advocate.

Is property advisory worth it?

On a $900,000 purchase, negotiating even a 1% reduction saves $9,000 — more than twice the advisory fee. Independent market analysis that prevents you overpaying by $50,000 delivers a 10:1 return on the advisory investment. For most buyers and sellers, property advisory is the highest-return investment they can make in a transaction.

Can a property advisor help me sell without a real estate agent?

Yes. Our seller advisory service includes pricing strategy, comparable sales analysis, buyer qualification and negotiation support — everything you need to sell privately or to manage an agent-run campaign more effectively.

Is Collings Property Advisory available outside Melbourne?

Yes. Advisory services are available nationally. We use GeeVee AI property intelligence to analyse any suburb across Australia.

Every advisory engagement is backed by real data, not opinion.

We have transacted hundreds of millions in property across Melbourne, Sydney and nationally.
