We’re Not Workaholics. But We Do Work for a Good Deal — Even on Holidays.
Most buyers switch off over Christmas and New Year. We don’t — not when there’s a deal worth taking.
Over the Christmas–New Year break, our Melbourne buyers advocates secured this investment property for a NSW-based investor. The instruction from our principal, Rayson, was simple: if we have to work, we need to “Make it a deal worth working for.”
So we did.
The outcome: 5% off in a hot-ish market
A 5% discount isn’t common in this part of North-West Melbourne when it is a seller's market and buyer demand is solid. But through strategic packaging of our offer, we negotiated the purchase from $700,000 down to $665,000.
And we moved fast. Within weeks, we shortlisted, assessed, negotiated and secured the property while other buyers were busy enjoying the holiday downtime.
Deal Snapshot: What We Achieved
Client: NSW property investor
Target budget: $750,000
Purchase price: $665,000
Negotiation result: $700,000 → $665,000 ($35,000 saved)
Buyers advocate fee: $14,000
Valuation at settlement: $725,000
What Did the Buyer Actually Gain?
Let's get straight to the point:
$35,000 negotiated savings, against a $14,000 fee
Net benefit on the negotiation alone: $21,000 (before you even consider time saved and risk reduced)
Settlement valuation: $725,000, which placed the buyer in a strong position from day one
Just as importantly, the buyer didn’t waste weekends on dead-end inspections, fluff-filled agent spin, or “maybe this one” compromises. We handled the search, filtered the noise, and executed the purchase.
Why an Independent Buyers Advocate Matters
As independent buyers advocates in Melbourne, our job is simple: protect the buyer’s interests and secure the best property possible for the budget.
We don’t sell properties. We don’t represent vendors. We don’t get paid to push stock.
Selling agents are paid to achieve the best price and terms for their vendor — that’s their KPI. Our KPI is different: buy well, buy safely, and don’t overpay.
That’s why we’ll move quickly and work hard when the numbers stack up — even if it’s Christmas week.
