Experienced Vendor Advocacy in Melbourne.
Selling your home or even an investment property can often be more stressful than buying.
Often there is a lot riding on the sale result which can leave sellers feeling vulnerable and unsure about the many decisions and actions that need to take place in the process. Whether you have sold many properties or this is your first time, we are here to make the process easier.
Full Selling Service:
- Initial discussion about your situation, outcome requirements, preparation & presentation advice
- Once engaged we obtain quotes required for preparation as discussed & agreed to by you. We will arrange multiple quotes from our reputable trades list & will only engage trades once approved by you. We manage trades & ensure they complete the work on time, on budget & to a professional level.
- We will then arrange if applicable Mecca Property Styling to provide a consultation & quotation for home staging to maximise your saleability. We do this before we meet agents as we want them to see the abode photo & inspection ready to get a more accurate opinion of value.
- Interviewing of the most appropriate & best agents for your home based on their results with similar properties. Negotiate the most competitive commission rate & marketing spend. We do not recommend an incentive based fee structure & we will share with you why. We then select & appoint our selling agent & also advise those that miss out.
- Monitor the sale process from the engagement of the agent, until settlement of the abode. We are also the conduit of buyer feedback & value throughout the campaign & will either conduct the auction or be involved in final private sale negotiations to maximise your result.
- we do not share in agents commission, hence no conflict of interest when negotiating the best commission rate for you. It also means the best agents will work with us, many will not share their fee with advocates, leaving you with sub par agents to choose from.
- we ensure that you are never locked in to a loving exclusivity authority, we can leave at anytime if the agent does not perform to our expectations.
- we conduct your auction, meaning there is no pressure to reveal your reserve price to the agent & you benefit from the experience of an auctioneer who has conducted over 1000 auctions.
- we are involved as your conduit of information throughout the entire campaign, many clients prefer not having to deal directly with agents & with us that is what happens.

How to pick a Vendor Advocate?
It is best to select a vendor advocate based on who you feel comfortable with, and who you feel has the most knowledge in the market you are selling in. Some vendor advocates will specialise in specific areas within Melbourne or specific properties. Additionally it is important to make sure that your vendor advocate does have a wide range of experience within the industry.
At Abode Advocacy Group, our advocates have a great depth of experience. Previously being real estate agents they are able to share insight into how an estate agent thinks and behaves. They have a great data base of real estate agents that they have personally dealt with and can recommend right across Melbourne, allowing them to sort through all the real estate agents who are not the best fit for your home.

What is a Vendor Advocate?
A vendor advocate, also commonly referred to as a sellers advocate, is someone who represents a vendor during the sale of their property. They are experts in selling properties and are able to oversee the whole process of selling your home. This can include, preparing the home for sale, such as organising quotes and project management, selecting and interviewing agents, negotiating the real estate agents fees, overseeing the campaign and managing the settlement.
At Abode Advocacy Group our vendor advocates have a different approach to selling your home saving you time and stress. We are on your side. Feel free to reach out to discuss how we run our process.
How much do Vendor Advocates charge?
A vendor advocate normally will take their pay by sharing in the commission with the real estate agent who sells the property. Many vendor advocates will claim that this means that they don’t cost their clients any more money. However there is a conflict of interest with this, how can they negotiate their client the best fee if they are sharing in it?
At Abode Advocacy Group we charge a separate fixed fee and have no association with the real estate agents fee. We do this so we can truly negotiate the best fee for our client and select the best agents, as some aren’t willing to share their fee. At Abode we do not want any conflict of interest with sharing in the real estate agents fee.
Contact us at Abode Advocacy Group to discuss our fixed fee and how we can best save you more money.
Are Vendor Advocates worth it?
A vendor advocate will save you money on agents fees by negotiating them to a competitive level. A vendor advocate will also assist in maximising the value of your home by recommending the correct works to get taken out. Additionally they will keep the agent accountable and make sure they are selling the home to the best buyer for your home and not just the first buyer.
At Abode Advocacy Group we are able to consistently earn our fee back in negotiating fees on our clients behalf and maximising the sale of their home.
