Waterman & Waterman - Seller Advocacy

Real Peace of Mind - Free Advice for the right price

It may seem unusual to hire someone else to deal with the real estate agent who is selling your home. But it is becoming increasingly popular. This service can be helpful, and not only for the time-poor. A seller advocate can really give you peace of mind.

By helping you through every step of the selling process, the seller advocate ensures you get the best price for the process. The seller advocate assesses your property's worth, selects an appropriate target market and advises on the sale method. The advocate then interviews and selects an agent based on your requirements. This ensures that your budget is not exceeded, and that your expectations are met. The seller advocate can negotiate the agent’s fee and sale price.

This service greatly reduces the contact between the seller and the real estate agent. A seller advocate can ensure that the property's set price is attained and that there are no nasty, unexpected surprises at any stage.

You can be sure that someone is REALLY working for you.

The seller advocate's fee is actually a percentage taken from the real estate agent’s fee. There is no direct cost to the seller.

Sometimes there are ‘sticky’ situations, where selling is difficult and agreement between the parties isn't easy. A seller advocate can facilitate allowing the property to be sold with minimal hassle.

A seller advocate can remove a great deal of the stress from selling.

We are on your side!

Seller Advocacy - What's It All About?

Selling the family home or an investment property might happen only once or twice in a lifetime. So when the time comes, you might not be up to date with the many processes involved.

When choosing a real estate agent, you can be given confusing and sometimes conflicting advice.

You will need to ask yourself questions such as:

Should I auction or sell with a fixed price?
Has the agent over-quoted the sale price to get my business?
How much is my property really worth?
Am I paying the right sales commission?
Do I really need to spend all that money on marketing?
If I spend money on preparing my property for sale, will I get it back once it is sold?
Should I have open inspections or private appointments?
How long should I commit myself when signing agency agreements with a real estate agent?

With Waterman & Waterman at your side, these and many more questions can all be answered and managed by us. As independent property advocates, we will go through all of your options calmly and thoroughly.

Our intimate knowledge of all the local real estate agents in your area enables us to recommend who to use and - most of all - who not to use, when selling your property.
