The Silent Victims
Home sellers often become the silent victims of the real estate process.

Beware The Phantom Buyer
Your home’s been on the market for a while, no sale yet, and your agreement with the agent is about to expire. Guess who knows it too? Your agent. Could this explain the sudden, last-minute “buyer interest” that appears out of nowhere?

Why Does The Agent Ask Me This?
"How much do you want?" "What price did you have in mind?" "What sort of money are you looking for?" Sound familiar? Every seller hears these questions. But let’s be blunt: why on earth is your agent — the so-called property expert — asking you to set the price? Isn’t that their job? It’s not about guidance. It’s about leverage. And the sooner you see through it, the harder it becomes for them to play the game at your expense.

Client Satisfaction

Rob provided outstanding support and guided the whole selling process smoothly in the background. If it were not for his masterful negotiation skills and knowledge of the real estate process there would have been no sale. Everyone thinking of buying or selling should have an independent real estate consultant in their corner navigating the minefield that is real estate.

Kathryn Cranbourne North Vic

Thank you for all your real estate help over the months. You have always been very professional in all your dealings with both of us. It has been in my opinion the traditional or old fashioned sense of professionalism. In other words you do what you say, you call when you say you will call, you do everything you can whenever you can and are polite and extremely helpful no matter what the circumstance. That type of professionalism isn't around much these days; just a poor mimic of it.

"You were the most helpful and trustworthy person to deal with..." " ...someone we could rely on for an honest, 'unmoney grabbing' opinion on real estate..."
