If you have ever sold a property before, you may have discovered the process can be full of empty promises and unrealistic expectations, leaving you feeling disappointed and disillusioned.

Our clients do not experience any of the above.

“Thank you and well done Domain Property Advocates! You have made selling our property so much easier. You have taken on all the hassles of organising cleaners and tradespeople. You have made it a breeze for us, a full-time working couple. Our house has definitely been given an extra sparkle after the work has been done. Not having to deal with the real estate agents has made the sale so much more pleasant. We were surprised how smooth the experience has been especially since we were overseas during the sale of the property. Thank you for all your efforts, we are very happy with all your work.”

“Hello Melanie, I just want to thank you for being there on Saturday and for the benefit of your advice and support. It made it so much easier having David and yourself there.”
C McStephens

“Melanie Dennis was an outstanding support to my 86 year old Aunt during the recent sale of her property. Melanie visited my Aunt in her nursing home and treated her with courtesy, honesty and sensitivity through this difficult and emotional time. Melanie was outstanding with her support for the sale process and just “made things happen”. She kept us fully informed of proceedings and costs and we were totally delighted when the property reached beyond our expected price.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Melanie Dennis to anyone attempting to sell property. She is efficient, hardworking and open in her negotiations.

Thanks Melanie, your hard work allows my Aunt to be well cared for in her remaining years. You achieved beyond our expectations.”
Colleen and Phyllis

B & N Ball

After a years of renting my house through Domain Property Advocates, I decided to sell it and, not living in the Melbourne area, I was keen to find a vendors advocate that could select a selling agent for me and act as my representative in the sale of the property. I chose Domain Property Advocates as it had been very professional in their handling of my rental property.

Domain Property Advocates assessed a number of Real Estate Agent property appraisals for me and we selected the Agent that we thought would be most effective in selling my property. Domain Property Advocates was also able to negotiate with the Selling Agent an Agent’s commission that I was happy with. They carried out all the negotiations on my behalf with the Agent and were also present at the open house inspection with the Selling Agent before the auction. My property was successfully auctioned and I am very grateful to Domain Property Advocates for taking much of the stress of auctioning the property out of my hands.

Domain Property Advocates and staff have been a pleasure to deal with and I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone interested in having a vendor’s advocate to sell their property. I was impressed with their thoroughness, professionalism and expertise in the real estate market together with a friendly, open and honest nature.

H O’Brien

Domain Property Advocates have acted as a buyers and sellers advocate when we have purchased and sold our rental properties, and I must compliment them on their wonderful negotiating skills in not only securing an excellent price on purchasing property, but ensuring a top price when selling. On one occasion, we agreed on a sales figure with a known purchaser, and by the time we received the paperwork, there was another offer of several thousand dollars more than what we had agreed to – fantastic effort.

Domain Property Advocates acted as our Vendors Advocate during the sale process and we got a record price for the sale of 12/201 Lennox Street, Richmond.

S Jackman

“Domain Property Advocates acted as the sales consultant on the sale of our warehouse property. They assisted in finding a good agent to put the property through and liaised with him throughout the sale process. They knew great tradespeople to help get the property into top selling shape and oversaw the supply of advertising material to the selling agent as well as the marketing strategy. The property sold within a week of its first showing and for a better price than we had anticipated. It was clear that their assistance was instrumental in the easy disposal of the property and we highly recommend them in any real estate transaction. Service second to none.”

Your experience and advice has been invaluable and we have learnt a lot along the way about the world of real estate, and had some fun in the process!! We would be happy to recommend your services to our friends, just as you were recommended to us by other friends.
Derek & Selsea

“Domain Property Advocates had managed our property in South Melbourne for two years, after which we relocated Interstate. Then when we decided to sell, we were able to confidently leave everything to them. They organised all the cleaning, maintenance, repainting and furnishing, as well as the advertising side of things. The house looked fantastic so much so that we were tempted to keep it! The sale went ahead smoothly and successfully- thank you”
D & W Fleming

“Thank you for doing such a great job for us throughout 2005. We are very pleased with your work at both (of our investment properties) and we cannot thank you enough..”
A & M Alexander

With a vision of what we wanted, and after a lengthy stop/start process with many false leads, the house that we purchased more than exceeded our expectations in respect to design, location and cost – it was well worth the effort and wait. David had a thorough knowledge of the market continually providing us with the quality “options”. Combined with good building evaluation skills and commercial acumen his advice and direction was invaluable. Further, in a business that involved much hype, pressure and questionable practice, his patience, good humor and integrity impressed us immensely.
T O’Neill

“Thank you so much for all your efforts in selling our House at Richmond. Your hands on approach in organising everything was extremely valuable given that we were living interstate at the time.“
J & K Emmerton

“We entrusted Domain Property Advocates to manage our two investment properties around 18 months ago and I have to say we are both very impressed with the high level of service given. Prior to making the decision to change agents, we had been disappointed with vacancy times, unhappy tenants & a feeling of not knowing what condition our properties were in. Melanie and her team have changed our perception of ‘managing agents’. We are now confident our properties are in good hands as we receive regular updates on how our investment is being managed & are made aware in advance of anything we should be doing. We have happy tenants and have had seen a commitment to ensure there is as close to zero vacancy as can be achieved.”
I Gartley & J Harrison

“When the time came for Mark and I to sell our home of over a decade, navigating the maze of real estate agents and their selling methods became a daunting task. We then touched base with Domain Property Advocates and the pressure has disappeared. We now have an agent, the terms and methods of selling have been decided and we are on the road to change. Domain Property Advocates will be with us from start to finish, helping us to avoid costly mistakes by drawing on her their real estate knowledge. We can now make informed decisions and feel confident with our choices. Domain Property Advocates has a warm personal approach and provides us with encouragement and support. I am sure they will be there when we find our new home and will take part in the journey with us.”
S Harverson

Thank you for giving us such accurate advice during the negotiations to purchase our property. Because of this we were able to obtain our home, even though there was a higher offer on the table. Without your instruction, we would surely have missed it. Your wisdom has been invaluable and we are extremely grateful to you for your knowledgeable guidance.
N Shibi and C Nicoll

“I can highly recommend her professionalism, prompt response to issues and her dedication to continually improving and updating service provision.
