We understand that a stressful sales experience can feel overwhelming, with so many unknowns and complexities to navigate. It’s completely normal to feel unsure of where to start. At Templeton Property, our experienced vendor advocates are here to guide you every step of the way, making the entire sales process simple.
Not all sales agents are equal and Templeton Property understands that
Choosing the right agent to sell your property can make all the difference between having a successful outcome and having a subpar outcome that can cost you significant money as well as time.
Having worked in the Brisbane property market for over 25 years, we know who the good agents are and who the bad ones are.
At Templeton Property, we offer a service called ‘Vendor Advocacy’, where we take on the responsibility from you of selecting the best real estate agent to facilitate the sale of your property. This has been proven to save not only our clients’ time, but also significant costs through our lower negotiated commission fee. Selecting the right agent almost always achieves the best sales result, which can often be the difference of tens of thousands of dollars.

Agent selection and sale preparation
Next, we help you select the best sales agent by researching and recommending top local agents based on their experience and track record. We will negotiate each selling agent’s commission and review marketing fees. Once you’ve chosen the agent, we’ll work with them to ensure your property is ready for sale, offering guidance on repairs, styling, and any improvements to maximise appeal.

As your property enters the market, you’ll receive constant updates from us. We’ll keep you informed on buyer behaviour, feedback from open homes, and any changes in market conditions. We work alongside your agent to ensure everything is progressing smoothly.

When offers start coming in, we’re here to help you evaluate them. We’ll discuss the pros and cons of each offer, advising you on the best course of action and supporting you during negotiations to achieve the best possible outcome.

Our frequently asked questions
How are vendors' advocates paid?
We operate on a straightforward and transparent fee structure. Our fees are typically based on a small percentage of the commission paid to the real estate agent, which we negotiate to ensure you receive the best possible deal. We also work hard to secure lower commission rates on your behalf, saving you money while ensuring the best outcome for your property sale.
For a more detailed breakdown of our competitive rates, please contact us. We’d love to discuss how we can help you achieve the best result for your sale.
How do you support me during negotiations and offers?
When offers start coming in, we’re here to help you evaluate them. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each offer and support you during negotiations to ensure you achieve a maximised sale outcome. We’ll also continue to monitor your agent’s performance to ensure everything is proceeding smoothly.
Why is having a good vendor advocate important?
A true vendor’s advocate, like Templeton Property, provides comprehensive knowledge and advice to get the most out of your sale. We understand agent dynamics and offer strategic support in collaboration with your agent to select the best sales method. With our vendor advisors by your side, you can expect a smooth process from start to finish.
Are buyer’s agents the same as selling agents?
No, buyer’s agents and selling agents have different roles. While buyer’s agents represent the interests of the buyer, selling agents work on behalf of the seller to achieve the best sale price. Our vendor advocacy service doesn’t involve selling the property, but we help you find a reputable selling agent and collaborate with them to achieve your goals.
How do you pick the best sales agent?
Having worked in the Brisbane market for over 25 years, we have a network of seasoned professionals working as sales agents across the city. We assess their knowledge of market trends, client references and their most common sales methods to ensure they align with your situation. If we don’t think an agent is a good fit, we simply won’t recommend them.
Why should I have Templeton Property negotiate on my behalf?
With us at the helm of negotiations, you get the advantage of our deep market understanding, strategic negotiation skills, and professional experience. Be it negotiating the purchase price or bidding at an auction, we ensure your interests are prioritised. Our research and sales negotiations expertise aim to secure the best possible deal for you, making us your trusted Brisbane Buyer’s Agent.
