At Select Property Advocates, we work with you to manage the entire process for you and with you.
With our team of experienced buyer advocates, we will help you:
Assess and source a suitable property based on your needs and budget
Assess and understand the selling agent’s motives
Review and identify a property’s strengths and weaknesses
Negotiate independently for you, from a place of strength
Avoid you buying from emotion (this happens a LOT in the industry). You should never purchase due to being tired of looking, in a rush, or simply jumping at the first place you love without critically assessing it as a financial investment.
We’re so thorough in our support, we’ll even check out the neighbourhood for you!

Our Packages
We have three key packages, but can tailor a solution depending on your specific needs.
Auction Assistance
- This package is essential for clients who need professional assistance with auction bidding or negotiating on a private sale. Real estate auctions are designed to drive a frenzy of activity and an exaggerated sense of urgency, in order to achieve the best possible price for the vendor. Ensuring you have a clear plan and remain calm on the day is crucial to success.
- WE WILL:
- Attend auction day
- Manage the bidding process live on your behalf
- Avoid last minute spontaneous decisions you may regret later by keeping within your agreed budget
Negotiation Masters
- This package is perfect for those who are happy to search for their own property, but would like to ensure once they have selected a property that it’s an informed and sensible decision that meets their needs and requirements. Purchasing a property is such a personal decision but it requires a level head and feet firmly on the ground. Our market insights and strong success as negotiators will ensure you get the right property at the right price.
- WE WILL:
- Critically review the suburb profile and street
- Identify the property’s strengths and weaknesses
- Negotiate with the agent to secure the property at the best price and terms for you
- Auction bidding
- Manage until settlement
- Recommend a property manager if it’s an investment property
Complete Search Package
- This package is our premium and recommended package for the seriously smart buyer. Sit back and let us handle everything for you so you can enjoy the purchasing process. Before we start looking, we start by listening. We get to intimately understand your needs, your aspirations – both personal and commercial. Part of our role is to not only meet your needs but to help you fully unpack these, ensuring you’re really clear on what you’re after, which in turn helps us commence a highly targeted and specific search.
- Through this process you can harness our market insights, local knowledge and industry expertise. We do the leg work for you, involving you in the process as little or as much as you like, and support you through to successful selection of the right property for you.
- WE WILL:
- Undertake suburb and market profile assessments
- Recommend appropriate areas for purchase
- Undertake all search and shortlisting for you
- Contact agents and access ‘off market’ opportunities
- Attend both open and private inspections on your behalf
- Understand the agent’s motives to assist negotiations
- Negotiate with the agent to secure the property at the best price
- Negotiate settlement terms for you
- Monitor and handle settlement for you
- Auction bidding
- Recommend a property manager if it’s an investment property
Buyer Advocate FAQs
What is a buyer advocate?
A real estate agent typically represents a seller. A buyer’s agent typically represents you – the buyer. This ensures your interests are protected and allows you to have a third party independently negotiate on your behalf during the purchase process.
How can a buyer advocate help me?
Most buyers are seeking strong capital growth and a solid return down the track for their investment – our market insight means we not only search for a property based on your brief, but often optimise and improve on what you’re looking for based on your individual needs. We know where and what to purchase in order to yield strong growth and rental returns, and will help you negotiate from a position of strength to get the best possible price for the property you select.
