Agent shortlist
With decades in Melbourne’s property market, we’ve sold thousands of properties with Melbourne’s top performing real estate agents. We know the best of the best in your area and give you a list of agents that we know are best suited to bringing your property to the market, factoring in local experience, marketing strategies, negotiation skills and more. We’ll personally take them through your property, one by one before having them complete our ‘Agent Submissions’ form.
Agent comparison
We analyse all the information provided by the agents and go through every detail with a fine-tooth comb. We compare, dissect, and deliberate over the Agent Submissions, so together we make the right call on selecting the best strategy, agent, and pricing for your property.
Marketing plan
By this stage we have a clear strategy, it’s now all about the implementation. We map out a detailed process calendar to put our plan into action. This keeps the agent accountable to their commitments, so we’re best placed to have your home sold in the crucial first 30 day period.
Communication
Fluid communication is key. We ensure that you are fully informed every step of the way. Throughout the sales campaign, we provide you with weekly reports including summaries of buyer activity and advertising analytics, as well advice on any improvements that may be required to maximise buyer interest.
Buyer negotiations
If you want a stunning sale price, it’s essential to have a seasoned negotiator in your corner. Whether by auction or private negotiation, Ian Reid Vendor Advocates follow a proven process that eliminates doubt that the best result has been achieved. Speak to an Advocate to find out how.
Settlement support
We’re not done just because contracts are signed. We’re here to support you right through to settlement. We’ll liaise with your solicitor and ensure the whole process run smoothly right up until the keys are handed over. We even help you organise pre-settlement cleaning, arrange removalist quotes, and provide a checklist of tasks to follow to transition into your new home.
Still not convinced? You’re protected with our ‘Sure Sale’ Guarantee.
With our ‘Sure Sale’ Guarantee we’ll sell your home above market value within 60 days or we work for free. That’s right – free. That’s how confident we are in our process. ‘Sure Sale’ Guarantee terms and conditions apply, so book your free consultation and ask us about our ‘Sure Sale’ Guarantee.
Nothing to lose. Everything to gain.
Here’s the best part… Our service costs you nothing extra. Not one cent extra!
