Our Services & Fees - Melbourne Vendor & Buyer Advocacy

---

Fee: $0 – Paid via agent commission split

Best for: Melbourne sellers who want expert oversight without paying extra.

Selling your home is a big move — but without the right guidance, it’s easy to feel pressured by agents, confused by fees or unsure if you’re getting the best result. That’s where we step in.

• Agent Selection: We help you choose the right agent for your property and set up your campaign with confidence.
  
• Fee & Marketing Advice: Clear guidance on commission, marketing spend, and what adds value (vs. what’s a waste).
   
• Hands-On Oversight: From listing to sale, we monitor the campaign and make sure it stays on track.
   
• Direct Agent Management: We handle the back-and-forth with agents, so you don’t have to chase.
   
• Regular Updates & Negotiation Guidance: Straight talk, not spin — keeping you informed at every stage.

We work solely for you — not the agent. You don’t pay us a cent, but you gain an independent professional in your corner, making sure you sell smarter, not harder.
