Vendor advocacy

Sell with an expert beside you—not across the table.

MPS helps Melbourne vendors choose the right agent, control campaign costs, assess buyer feedback and negotiate each decision from a position of clarity.

Melbourne property prepared for sale with vendor advocacy

Independent campaign oversight

Your agent sells the property. Your advocate protects your interests.

Choosing an agent is only the start. MPS independently reviews advice, campaign material, costs, buyer feedback and negotiation strategy throughout the sale.

That extra layer of accountability helps vendors make decisions based on evidence—not campaign momentum.

01

Agent selection

Interview and compare local agents, appraisals, commissions and methods of sale.

02

Campaign control

Review marketing, presentation, weekly buyer feedback and spending before costs drift.

03

Negotiation support

Evaluate offers, reserve strategy and auction decisions with experienced guidance.

Vendor advocacy fee

No additional advocacy fee.

The MPS vendor advocacy fee is taken from the appointed selling agent’s commission, rather than added as a separate advocacy charge to you.

The exact commission arrangement and service inclusions are confirmed before the agent is appointed. Selling-agent commission, marketing and external campaign costs remain disclosed as part of the sale proposal.
