If you’ve ever wondered how the services of a free property advisor works, then it may be reassuring to know that the process is actually quite straightforward.
Ultimately, the role of a free property advisor is to evaluate real estate, short and long term goals, and to provide options for the best use of any given property. This position differs from a traditional real estate agent or broker, who are primarily only focused on a transaction. In comparison, a property advisor often works closely with your accountant to craft the best possible scenario for your own unique financial goals on a case by case basis.
Should you be looking to sell your home, enlisting the services of a property advisor can often be a game changer for vendors. As an example, your advisor would likely research the property, local agents, check the zoning, evaluate market conditions, and communicate clearly with the owner regarding all of their options. When working with a reputable advisor, this often results in homeowners being able to sell their property for significantly more than they initially thought possible.
A reputable property advisor should already have an extensive background working in the real estate industry, and will often have access to resources that extend far beyond the standard responsibilities of buying and selling property, such as a network of contacts amongst agents, solicitors, tradesmen and accountants. A property advisor works in an advisory capacity in order to help you plan more strategically, and increase the value of your current or potential assets. Just some of their standard duties include:
- Perform extensive research on sales in your area
- Research and assist with agent selection
- Help you to eliminate wasted costs
- Recommend legal representatives to prepare contract of sale and other legal documents
- Ensure you have a structured campaign in place for selling your home
- Help keep the agent accountable at all times
- Assist you with negotiations to help get the highest price
- Helping you through the settlement process once your home is sold
Technically speaking, a free property advisor doesn’t cost a thing to everyday people looking to buy or sell a home. Rather, they act as a vendor advocate, and take a percentage of the real estate agents fee, meaning no additional out of pocket expenses for the owner.
Sourcing A Reputable Free Property Advisor
Australia has a long history with providing banking institutions, health care providers and even superannuation options dedicated to the needs of police and other emergency services. However, there has never been a go-to provider for navigating the many realms of real estate – until now.
A completely free service, Emergency Services Property Advisors provide property advisor services to Police, Fire, Ambulance and S.E.S personnel and their families right across Victoria. Luke and the team at ESPA are passionate about providing support to some of Australia’s most valued public servants, and aim to provide tangible real estate advice to those in stressful positions with crazy hours at no extra cost to them. Along with key industry insights, ESPA also works with a broad range of service providers linked to the real estate industry such as conveyancers, trades, legal practitioners and mortgage brokers.
When acting on behalf of a client, ESPA receives a fee from the carefully selected real estate agent. Of this fee, 20% is then donated by the team at ESPA onto an industry charity of their client’s choice. When discussing this unusual methodology with The Police Association of Victoria during a recent interview, ESPA founder Luke believes that the power of community has always been one of the founding pillars of his success.
“I think it’s hugely important to see that money flows back into the industry which I serve. I’ve got a long track record of working with the emergency services community for over twenty three years. They’ve always looked after me, so I’m here to look after them.”
