Are Vendors Advocate worth it?
If you want the best possible outcome when selling your home, a vendor advocate is a must. Your agent doesn’t always have your best interest in mind. They will say and do anything to get your listing, and then to persuade you to sell quickly.
Alleviating the stress Selling your home is stressful! There’s plenty of decisions and logistical logistical elements to juggle. Vendors advocates help you with the biggest worry of all — getting the right sale price.
Preparing your home for sale Many homeowners make the classic mistake of overcapitalising on the home before sale. We can advise you on the preparations you need to get the best possible sale price.
Finding the right agent Navigating this situation feels like walking through a minefield! It seems like everyone has advice to offer, and it can be overwhelming to sift through all the opinions and recommendations.
Negotiating your commission Many vendors don’t know that you can negotiate on agents’ commissions.
Deciding the right pricing strategy Choosing the right pricing strategy for your home is a critical decision that can significantly impact your sale price.
Managing the advertising strategy Managing an advertising strategy effectively is crucial to reach your target audience.
Receiving Assistance on Auction Day On auction day, it’s natural to feel a mix of emotions, from nervousness about the sale of your home to concerns about bidder turnout and the auctioneer’s performance. It can be challenging to make composed, strategic decisions in such moments. Rest assured, we will stand by your side throughout the auction, providing support and guidance every step of the way.
The cost is absorbed by the agent The cost of a vendor fee is not yours to cover. It comes out of the agent fees.
