Buying

Know your limitations

To the untrained eye, the Colosseum appears like any other amphitheatre. But beneath the surface, you’ll find a complex network of rooms and corridors laced with intricate traps and dead ends. Buying a property is no different, it is like a maze and even if you make it to the other side, the mistakes you make along the way can cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars.

So who is there to pull you up when you are about to make one of the most important decisions of your life ? It certainly won’t be the selling agent, they are acting for the other side. The reality is you would never enter a Court without representation, so why would you contemplate doing anything different buying a property?

If you think you are vulnerable, you probably are so let Rob make you the expert by guiding you through the hidden maze of mistakes that so often go unnoticed.

Buyer advocacy services

Buyer services can be individually packaged to suit your needs. And there is a significant saving if you elect to do your own searches by only calling in the advocate when you have identified the right property. This is popular with home buyers who know what they are looking for, want to be involved and who have the time to do it themselves.

All fees are success based and subject to negotiation. No Purchase – No Fee.

Search – Discovery

Don’t be fooled by the internet, it takes experience to know what to look for. The search & discovery component is essential for buyers who are time poor or who do not live in Melbourne. Buying a property can take weeks if not months and countless inspections. It is not a decision you should rush just because you are time poor or happen to be in Melbourne for a stopover. Don’t waste valuable time looking at properties which are not suitable or you can’t afford, And then there are off market properties which are sold discreetly without ever being advertised. Rob is well connected and has access to properties that are never released to the public. If anyone can find the needle in the haystack, it is Rob.

Evaluation and Strategy to purchase

“Don’t wait until you’re in a crisis to come up with a plan”. When you are about to make one of the most important decisions in your life it is vital you have a detailed success plan. Whilst there are moments during a negotiation or auction that requires intuitive behaviour you won’t find in the scripts, with Rob’s guidance, having a consultative strategy based on facts, not hearsay will give you a massive advantage in an industry dominated by bias. Rob will:

  • Includes all bidding
  • Attend all inspections, auctions and negotiations on your behalf
  • Collaborative approach with all advice
  • Handle all dealings with the agents
  • Provide you with weekly updates in writing with links to suitable properties
  • Access to off market, and advance notice of new to the market listings
  • Save you time by only submitting properties that are suitable
  • Detailed comparable metric analysis using sophisticated software
  • Competition Intelligence
  • Arrange advisories as required and deemed necessary including building inspections, legal, planning, finance and attorneys in absentia
  • A consultative negotiation and bidding strategy

Bidding Only

Bidding is not for everyone, it requires intuition and nerves of steel. Extremely popular with buyers who wish to keep their identity anonymous and who lack the understanding of what it takes. For a flat fee, let Rob deliver that knock out bid and blitz the competition.

Our Values

Professional

From Rob’s perspective professionalism is a measure of success, not a title. Rob’s clients always come 1st; he keeps them focused even when they lose sight of their goals or are overwhelmed by advice from other so called experts. Rob is a Pro.

Trusted

The term ‘advocate’ is derived from Latin meaning Counsellor, a person who supports and champions for his clients. It requires trust and respect which Rob has buckets . Relationships are built on trust, and his results are outstanding, you can count on that.

Experienced

You can not buy wisdom off the shelf. To know what is ahead takes years of experience. Like Chess, the game changers in Real Estate happen well before the final move is made. With over 30 years experience Rob will help you stay in front.

Direct

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Like the Colosseum, Real Estate is a maze, filled with intricate traps and a diverse network of corridors. Take the wrong path can be costly. Let Rob show you the best route home and avoid those fatal real estate traps.

Rob did a great job securing a property for us that wasn’t even on the market, and at a substantial discount to the vendor’s initial asking price. A straight shooter and really put the work in to get us the right result.

Rob has acted for a number of my clients over the years. His very thorough and professional approach to managing the marketing of their properties has ensured that in all cases, my clients have been exceptionally happy with the price received for their homes, and I was reminded of this recently when he managed the “repositioning” of a client’s property in Albert Park where I have no doubt the price received was at least $150,000 higher that my client’s expectation.

Rob was a sane and knowledgeable voice amongst lots of varied opinions. His vast experience, relaxed approach and focus really helped steer us through the selling process. Having someone of his experience to navigate the information, paper work and keeping the agents focused was invaluable.

I spent over two years looking for a new apartment and during that time, Rob's experience and pragmatic approach were invaluable. He very patiently guided me through the process and offered sound advice at all times. I was delighted with the outcome. Then he helped me sell my old apartment as well! He is a great advocate to have by your side.
