What Is a Buyers Advocate?
A buyers advocate is a licensed professional who represents property buyers, not sellers. At Marsden Buyers Agents, that means we handle the search, inspections, due diligence and negotiation for you, and we’re paid by you alone so our advice stays independent.
Why Buyers Choose a Melbourne Buyers Advocate
Off-market access
More than 50% of the properties we inspect are off-market, sourced through direct agent relationships. Less competition, more options.
Time back
Our clients buy in a 43-day average instead of spending months at weekend inspections.
Independent negotiation
We negotiate and bid daily, so you're not up against seasoned selling agents on your own.
Genuine due diligence
Plans and permits, government housing checks and a full neighbourhood review before you commit, not after.
One side only
We never sell property. Representing buyers is all we do.

A buyers advocate, also called a buyers agent, represents the buyer, not the seller, throughout a property purchase. They search on and off market, inspect and shortlist homes, run due diligence, and negotiate or bid to secure the property at the right price and terms.
Marsden Buyers Agents leverage an extensive network of contacts within the Melbourne real estate industry to access off-market properties. These are homes that are for sale but not publicly listed, offering you a unique buying opportunity with less competition.
The key benefits include saving time, stress and money by having an expert manage property searches and inspections, gaining access to off-market listings, leveraging negotiation skills to secure a better deal, and benefiting from professional advice to make informed decisions.
We operate on a transparent fee starting from $14,300. This includes all services from property searching to negotiating and securing your new home. There are no hidden costs, ensuring clarity and peace of mind for our clients.
While the timeline can vary based on market conditions and your specific requirements, our average time to buy is 43 days from the commencement of our search. Our efficient process and proactive approach are designed to find your ideal property promptly.
Our only focus is on representing buyers in the real estate market. This specialisation ensures our commitment and expertise are fully aligned with the interests and goals of home buyers, providing them with dedicated support throughout the buying process.
Our Full Buying Service starts from $14,300 and scales with the purchase price, up to $22,000 for a $2 million property. Private Negotiation and Auction Bidding are each a fixed $4,400 per property. Fees are set out in full before you commit, with no hidden costs.
The selling agent works for the vendor and aims to achieve the highest price. A buyers advocate works only for you, so their entire focus is securing the property for less, on better terms, with the risks checked first.
