ColumnNotEmpty
Cercle property is a Melbourne-based boutique property agency offering comprehensive services to clients seeking expert advice. We act completely independently and work for you to achieve the best result in today’s competitive landscape.
We pride ourselves on innovation, transparency and a can do attitude. We’re a purpose built property business and we look forward to welcoming you into the “inner cercle”.
Our aim is and has always been to offer our buyers, landlords and sellers the opportunity to make more informed and financially rewarding decisions that will pave the path to building your future.
What does a vendor advocate do?
A vendor advocate will act on your behalf to prepare your property for sale, educate you on your property’s value and the local market as well as choose and manage the best real estate agent for your property. As your vendor advocate, our aim is to take the angst out of selling your property and to secure the highest possible sale price.
How much does a vendor advocate cost?
There are no fees payable directly to your vendor advocate. A vendor advocate shares the standard sales commission with the appointed selling agent.
What's the difference between a vendor advocate and a buyer advocate?
Our vendor advocate is dedicated to supporting you throughout the selling process, ensuring you achieve the optimal price and terms for your property sale. Similarly, our buyer advocate is committed to assisting you in finding and purchasing a property that aligns with your budget and preferences, securing the best possible terms for you as the buyer.
What's the difference between a vendor advocate and a real estate agent?
A vendor advocate is your invaluable resource for navigating the complexities of selling your property, offering insights and guidance on crucial questions such as:
- Auction or private sale: Which is the better option for your property?
- Advertising strategies: What approaches will best showcase your property to potential buyers?
- Real estate agent commission: What is a fair and reasonable rate for your circumstances?
- Pricing expectations: Are your property’s price expectations aligned with the current market trends?
- Property presentation: How can you optimize your property’s presentation to maximize its appeal?
- Negotiation management: How should you handle negotiations effectively on the day of the sale?
Moreover, our vendor advocate will assist you in selecting the most suitable real estate agent for your property. Once appointed, the real estate agent will take charge of the actual sales process, managing tasks such as marketing, conducting open for inspections, and overseeing auctions. While the real estate agent engages with both the vendor and the buyer, the vendor’s advocate remains dedicated solely to representing the vendor’s interests throughout the entire process.
"Frank was our buyer’s advocate. He provided exceptional service and expertise during our property search. His deep knowledge of the area and the market made the process much smoother. He skillfully negotiated the price and strategy with selling agents, alleviating our stress. If you’re in need of support during your property search, Frank is the one you’ll want by your side. We wholeheartedly recommend Frank’s services to friends and family. Thank you, Frank, for the outstanding work."
"We recently had Frank help us with our home purchase as a buyer’s agent. He was so easy to work with and really understood what we wanted and our budget. He worked very diligently and helped us find properties and also devise an effective game plan for the auctions. The biggest help was Frank being there during the auction, as with his industry experience he not only got rid of our stress and nerves as first home buyers but he also knew exactly how it all works. We are very satisfied with the result and his service!"
"Unsure to engage a buyers agent or not, Cercle Property was the best decision! My housing requirements were understood, from location, intention, price and preferences. Engagement provided support through the filtering process, recommendations, inspections, reports, all the way through to closing the deal. Frank was professional and personal – any time I needed to talk, the phone was answered! Five star service. Five star review. 100% recommend Cercle Property."
"I was very hesitant to engage in a buyers advocate as I thought I had the necessary skills, to buy my second property.
After spending a number of weekend’s searching and attending numerous Auctions I decided to accept I needed assistance.
As my brother said, Frank was worth he’s weight in gold. He was professional, understanding, and was incredibly patient with my changing needs and wants with the property.
I would highly recommend Frank without reservation."
