When engaging a buyers advocate in Melbourne, it’s essential to understand how fees are structured. Across Australia, buyer advocates generally charge their clients in one of two ways:
At Industry Insider, we operate exclusively on a percentage-based model that is fixed in advance.
Our service fees range from 1% to 2.5% of the purchase price, allowing you to choose a level of service that fits your needs. We believe in clear communication, so you’ll know exactly what to expect regarding costs. We have a happiness policy that allows you to walk away at any time during our contract by simply writing us an email. For further information on our fees and services, visit our buyers advocate Melbourne cost page.
A detailed plan to buy is crucial to your success, and we are constantly evolving our processes to meet the demands of the ever-changing property market.
First, we want to learn all about you, your family, and your lifestyle. We have an initial Zoom call or a face-to-face meeting to establish rapport and discuss your unique preferences. We listen closely to understand what you’re looking for in a home and create a comprehensive list of your needs and must-haves. We can focus your search on the most desirable locations by prioritising your specific criteria.This initial meeting is not just about gathering information; it allows us to meet and see if we are a good fit. It also builds the foundation for ensuring your home-buying journey commences on the right foot.
Next, we leverage our trusted network to locate potential properties that fit your needs, including pre- and off-market opportunities that may be hidden from the general public. We understand the intricacies of the property market and work to identify listings that resonate with your specific requirements. After identifying potential properties, we shortlist the most suitable options and evaluate each based on key factors, including suburb characteristics, location within the suburb, orientation, architectural style, building quality, and the overall flow of the floor plan.
It’s a no-brainer that conducting thorough due diligence is crucial when spending significant amounts on a home or investment. However, it’s far from a no-brainer to go through the process!
We collaborate with your legal team to review section 32 and the contract of sale, ensuring that you fully understand the legalities involved in your purchase. Additionally, we facilitate building and pest inspections to uncover any potential issues that may arise. We prioritise keeping you well-informed about the property’s history, condition, and any concerns affecting your decision-making process. While all our steps are vital, due diligence is particularly critical; it often determines whether to proceed with a property or walk away from it.
4. Assess & Evaluate
When due diligence is completed, we meticulously assess every element of the property to help form our opinion on value. Our evaluation encompasses architecture, building quality, floor plan design, site plan analysis, and street position. We employ a comprehensive 69-point checklist when assessing properties, which we share with you in our initial meeting so that you clearly understand the nuances involved. Drawing from our decades of experience, we break down the land-to-building ratio and share the pros and cons of each property. We also assess the likely level of competition you will face on auction day.
Negotiating the best outcome is essential to buying a property, and we handle this entire process for you.
Our buyer advocate team diligently ascertains the vendor’s motivation for selling and negotiates price, conditions, and settlement dates on your behalf. We will attend both boardroom and public auctions, bidding with confidence and ensuring you secure the best possible property at the right price. In addition to bidding, we also complete post-auction negotiations if the property passes in at auction. A pass-in can bring opportunities if you’re an experienced negotiator. You must understand the rules of engagement when negotiating post-auction. Our role is to empower you to bid confidently, leveraging our industry knowledge and negotiation skills to secure the property of your dreams.
