Metropole Vendor’s Advocacy Service is a special no-extra-cost service to property sellers, here to shield you from the hassles of the selling process. We are independent and work for you. We tell you the truth. Are you ready to find the best price for your property?
When selling your property you want to achieve the best price with the least hassle. Yet our experience as Australia's leading property buyers' agency shows many vendors don't achieve an optimum sale price due to poor advice or pressure from their selling agent. Now you can have an independent agent from Metropole on your side when you sell your property. To achieve the highest selling price for your property, you need help finding the right agent to sell your property, as well impartial and strategic advice on the correct timing, the most appropriate method of sale, the most cost effective advertising campaign and the negotiation process.
We will:
- Sit down with you and determine your needs.
- Recommend the best agent (not agency) for you. We know the best agents and the worst agents as we have been buying from them on behalf of our clients for many years.
- Check the agent's fees and advertising recommendations to save you unnecessary expenses. Should you sell by auction or private sale? How much should you spend on advertising without wasting your money? We'll tell you!
- Monitor the selling agent's performance.
- Consider any offers made and give our recommendations to you. Then we'll help negotiate on your behalf, giving you our input all the way.
- Follow the sale through until settlement.
We charge the Selling Agent a percentage fee based on the sale price of your property which comes out of their commission when the sale is made. This means that you get our service at no extra charge, but that it is in all our interests that you get the best possible price.
How will Metropole’s Vendor Advocacy Service help you?
Researching the property markets and your options
We will provide you with a range of options for selling your home – auction, private sale, expression of interest – and make sure you have all the information you need to decide on the most suitable method for you.
Our research covers sales statistics and trends, alongside details of recent property sales and comparative information about properties in your local area, giving you a realistic market appraisal so you can make accurate, informed decisions.
Finding the right selling agent for your needs
Finding the right selling agent: Real estate agents have different areas of specialty, different personalities, different approaches to real estate marketing and different negotiation skills.
That's why It’s critical that you select the right agent, within the right agency, to sell your property.
We approach a number of local estate agents, selecting the best agent, so you can achieve the best selling price. We interview the agents, rate their reports and discuss the potential candidates with you.
Once you've made a decision, we will appoint the chosen agent to market your property and manage their performance on your behalf.
We then work with your selected agent to create an integrated marketing plan – covering both offline and online advertising – to achieve the best possible price for your property. We will report back to you throughout the sale campaign and once you start receiving offers we’ll be there to help you evaluate them and set terms and conditions.
Taking your property to auction
If you are selling at auction we will be at your side throughout the entire process, including helping you to set the reserve. In summary we will:
- Help you assess the market value of your property
- Match your property with the most appropriate real estate agent, so you achieve the best price
- Explain real estate agents’ commissions and negotiate these on your behalf with your selected agent
- Work with the agent to develop the most effective marketing campaign
- Ensure your selected agent communicates via a pre-determined reporting system – ensuring timely, quality information
- Disseminate market feedback – helping you set your reserve price and fine tune the final strategy
- Help you to assess offers and negotiate terms and conditions
- Manage every step of your sale
Testimonials
Here’s what some of our clients are saying about us:
As an interstate landlord, I trust Metropole Property Management to look after our Melbourne interests. Their service and communication is first rate.
Thank you very much for your excellent advice and management, now and during the last years when you have been taking care of our property. At all times we felt that all issues had been handled with extreme care and diligence.
Really appreciate the time and walk through with the process and considering that we are in different state, you have made the process really easy. I was really satisfied with the level of the engagement and detail that you have provided. I was also really impressed on how fast you were able to secure a tenant within a day after settlement of the property.
We sincerely thank you and your team for the customer service, which has exceeded our expectations. We will have additional Brisbane properties managed by Metropole in the future, and be sure to recommend your service to others.
