The 7 Benefits of Using a Vendor Advocate
A vendor advocate is someone who acts on your behalf with the sale of your property, as an independent advisor throughout the sales process. Amongst other things, they interview and help select the best real estate agent, provide advice on presenting your property for sale and help to negotiate your best sale price.
1. Saves you time - A vendor advocate can do all the work to research the market in your area, interview multiple real estate agents to help select the best one, and put you in touch with reliable tradespeople and other services. All this saves you time, travel, money and sanity!
2. Helps you choose the right agent – Real estate agent selection is vital to get right as it has a huge impact on your ultimate price outcome. Vendor advocates have access to sales results that have not been released to the public. This data is imperative when your advocate narrows down to the most recent individual proven performer.
3. Gives you an independent advisor – Your advocate is 100% focused on you and your property. At Thrive, we have over 20 years of industry experience under our belts to help get you the best result. We are there not just to do a ‘deal’, but always to get you the best outcome.
4. Get a better price – Using an experienced vendor advocate can help you get the best price, first time. With a solid plan in place, you won’t waste your time and money ‘learning as you go’.
5. Reduced stress- Selling a property can be hard work! A lot of emotion and stress can be tied in with the sale of a home. A good vendor advocate can make sure all the small details are covered with your sale, to improve your peace of mind.
6. You retain control – If at any time your real estate agent is not living up to expectations, a vendor advocate can easily help you switch to another agent. Also during the process you can be as involved or remote as you would like.
7. Better outcomes at no additional cost – A vendor advocate aims to help you achieve a higher sale price. All this is at no additional cost to you, as the advocate’s fee is included as a portion of your real estate agent’s commission.
