A Better Way To Sell
With the emergence of the ‘self-sell’ businesses and ‘agent-finding’ websites that offer little more than a glossy ‘how to’ brochure before throwing you to the wolves, the sale of your home or investment can be a minefield.
Posts on Social Media channels asking, “Who should I sell my property through?” and then having to sift through the often hundreds of responses posted by friends of Real Estate agents, or members of the vast amount of ‘business marketing groups’ on the Sunshine Coast.
Sellers are being seduced by the slick marketing campaigns of some facilities, but don’t recognise the risks of committing to something that provides significantly insufficient support and expertise. Critical guidance based on best practice strategies can often make hundreds of thousands of dollars difference when handled by the right professionals. This is not something that you can afford to sell yourself short on.
Vendor Advocacy is a way to overcome these difficulties and we are now delivering solutions to the challenges for everybody selling their homes on the Sunshine Coast at no additional cost to you.
Just like buying a property through our Buyers Agency services, using our Vendor Advocacy services takes the time, stress and emotion away and may actually allow you to enjoy the process of selling your property!
Your Independent Advisor
With Lifestyle Vendor Advocates, we can be the only people you have to deal with throughout your entire sale.
As a totally independent advisor, we will sit down quietly with you and go through all your options calmly and thoroughly. We’ll discuss with you what’s best for you and your personal circumstances, and then go out on your behalf and talk to the best agents in your area. We will interview those agents for you. We’ll take all the pressure off you by doing all that work for you – we will sift through the conflicting advice, assess which agent is likely to be the right one for you, then report back to you so that you can make a balanced and informed decision without any of the pressure. If you feel it necessary to talk to some or all those agents yourself, we can be right there with you as well, to steer you through all the competing advice.
As your advocate, our job is to get you the best outcome achievable.
You Retain Control
When you use our service, you engage us, not them, and it is we who engage the agent of your choice on your behalf.
Therefore, you retain total control over the transaction at all times. Should the selected agent not meet their commitments, we may change them immediately, rather than have you tied to one agent and be stuck with them for a lengthy period. This is the beneficial aspect of Lifestyle Vendor Advocates.

We are on your side through every step of the selling process.
We are on your side through every step of the selling process. Even when the appointed selling agent has an acceptable offer, we vet it and advise you. We don’t even stop there. If necessary, we will contact all the prospective purchasers of your home and complete the final negotiation. If it’s an auction, we’re there on the day ensuring you’re fully informed, your interests are being looked after and making sure you get the best possible result.
Because we share the work, we also share in the commission paid to the selling agent, so there is no additional cost to you.
It is quite normal practice in the real estate industry for one agent to pay a referral fee to another, or for two agents to share the commission. Worth noting too, is that if, for any reason, there is no sale, or if you decide at any time not to sell, there will be no fee at all payable to Lifestyle Vendor Advocacy.
