Who are James Buyer Advocates

We help you buy all forms of residential property throughout Melbourne and the Peninsulas. We only work for buyers, not sellers. We can:

• Prepare plans, reports on your needs and value.
• Search on and off market and negotiate, or just negotiate
• Deal at private sales, auctions, expressions of interest and tenders
• Arrange independent legal, pest, building and valuation inspections
• Organise short and long-term leasing for executive relocation

Prior to starting we sit down with you, listen to what you want and then clearly set out our fees in writing. They will vary depending on the service you want. Our fees are agreed to in advance - based either on your estimated budget (so there's no question of encouraging you to pay a higher price for our own gain) or (as many prefer) on the actual sale price (if you're not sure exactly what your budget will be).

We also have premium and investor services, plus architectural and agent advisory - please contact us to discuss your situation.

• All communications & meetings with you
• Searching with or without you for a suitable property
• Use of all our databases
