Real Estate Agents

Real Estate Agent Selection

Choosing a real estate agent to sell your property is not just about who’s local, or who has the biggest brand – it’s about finding the best real estate seller agent for the job.

Put simply, we know who the best sellers’ agents are!

At May Consultant, we provide professional real estate vendor advocacy and property sales advisory services for clients across Melbourne’s inner suburbs.

We demystify the industry jargon and help you make this important decision using your head, rather than your heart – making the selection process much easier.

The first step 

We will invite the best agents in your area (usually around 3-4) to conduct an appraisal at your property.

At this appointment, we give them our detailed 12-point brief, which enables us to analyse all proposals according to the same strict criteria.

Agent Proposals

Each agent will submit a proposal to us and then this is forwarded to our client.We then assess the proposals according to our key criteria and further negotiate with the agents, before providing our recommendation of the best agent for you and your property.These key criteria include:Valuation

> We assess the sale price the agent believes is achievable.

Comparable Sales

> We ask for evidence of recent comparable sales, including prices and the agent who sold them.

Pricing Strategy

> We evaluate the price to be quoted during marketing of the property.

Method of Sale

> We review the method of sale recommended, and question why the agent believes it is best.

Commission

> We assess the fairness of the agent’s commission, and if it’s competitive in the current market.

Target Market

> We ask if the target market(s) identified by the agent are the best buyers for your property

Marketing

> We evaluate the agent’s proposed real estate marketing and advertising schedule(s) and its ability to cut through and speak directly to your target market(s).

Other Initiatives

> We look for other ways the agent intends to differentiate and improve their marketing efforts.

Hidden Value-Adds

> Many agents have access to thousands of dollars in value-adds that go under the radar. We know what these are and how to negotiate their inclusion on your behalf, at no extra cost to you!
