Get The Best Price With a Vendor Advocate in Melbourne
The difference between getting a reasonable price and the best price when selling is using the best vendor advocate in Melbourne!
At Buyers Advocate, we do so much more than just helping our clients buy their properties; we guide them through the sales process to help ensure the best possible outcome with their property transactions.
What Does a Vendor Advocate in Melbourne Do?
A vendor advocate, sometimes called a seller’s advocate, partners with you from start to finish, guiding you every step of the way in your property sale.
We handle the heavy lifting, ensuring that the right real estate agent is appointed at the right commission and overseeing a tailored marketing campaign so you can focus on your family and other priorities.
We take charge of the process, always providing you with independent advice on the state of the real estate market, so that you can make informed decisions and achieve the best outcome.
In many ways, our role as your vendor’s advocate is to ensure that you are protected from the stresses and emotions associated with having a property for sale.
You benefit from our years of experience in the Melbourne property market and access our extensive network for top-tier agent selection to ensure that you have a team working with your best interests at heart.
We will also serve as a sounding board during challenging negotiations to ensure the proper communication and decisions are made regarding offers.
Our fee is deducted from the agent’s commission, so it does not cost you anything extra to have our representation and assistance.

Couldn’t think of a better service to have on your side in the selling process of your home. We’ve bought and sold our home before but Leigh’s services made such a difference over all facets of our property journey, we’d not hesitate to engage him and team again.
Positive warm personality, ease of communication, realistic, understanding, empathy, depth of knowledge, negotiating skills, brilliant legal/conveyancing support, the list goes on. He’s with you from the very beginning, through all the twists and turns, to the day you move into your next home. Highly recommended.
This is the 2nd time we have used Buyer's Advocate and worked with Leigh and I can honestly say, on both occasions it is the best decision we have made!
Not only was Leigh's experience in the market and working with Real Estate Agents a huge advantage - Leigh was honest and transparent with his communication which made us feel so comfortable through a stressful process.
Leigh's experience really came to the fore when it was time to negotiate and we could not be happier with the outcome! Wouldn't hesitate using Leigh again!Frequently Asked Questions About Vendor Advocacy
Why use a vendor advocacy service?
Most people are only involved with selling property once every 7-10 years, and many have little to no experience.
A vendor advocate will be able to guide you in selecting the best-selling agents, marketing campaigns, and sales methods, and will be there to support you throughout the entire process, ensuring the agent remains accountable and delivers the best results.
Does using a vendor advocate incur any costs?
Should I use a sales agent who quotes me the highest price?
Don’t get sucked in to agents who give an unrealistic price to win your business. Focus on the best team and marketing strategy to deliver the result. If there is a buyer at a higher price point, they will find them, not the agent who only has the value proposition of a high market appraisal.
Should I use the agent offering the lowest commission?
When it comes to selling your home, the agent with the lowest commission generally is not the best choice, particularly if this is their only value proposition.
The most important focus should be on selecting the best team and the right campaign to deliver the strongest result. A lower commission might save you a small amount upfront, but if the agency commitment, strategy, negotiation, or marketing falls short, it could cost you tens of thousands in your final sale price.
Having an experienced vendor advocate on your side ensures that no stone is left unturned in the process. We help you appoint the right agency team, ensure the marketing campaign is tailored to your property, and provide an independent voice throughout the sale to maximise your result.
