FAQs
What is property advisory?
Property Advisory is a professional service that gives buyers and sellers independent guidance, analysis and negotiation support — without the cost or full-service commitment of a buyers advocate or real estate agent.
How is property advisory different to a buyers advocate in Melbourne?
A buyers advocate sources and purchases property on your behalf. A property advisor helps you make better decisions with the property you have already found or are already selling. The cost is significantly lower.
Is property advisory worth it for a $900k property in Melbourne?
Absolutely. On a $900k property, even a 1% improvement in your negotiation outcome equals $9,000 — more than double the advisory fee. Most clients recover the fee multiple times over in the negotiation alone.
