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 in 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 can be separated into different packages:
Except for bidding only, all fees are success based. No Purchase – No Fee. Some buyers prefer to do their own searches, and can reduce their costs by only calling in the advocate once they have identified the right property. This is popular with home buyers who want to be involved and who have the time to do it themselves.
Search – Discovery
Don’t be fooled by the internet, it takes a keen eye 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 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.
