Why you need a buyers advocate

WBP Property Advisers have inspected thousands of residential properties and bought hundreds, so nobody knows property like they do. Finding the right property in the Australian market is complex and can take extensive time. WBP Property Advisers are property experts and have intimate knowledge of the Australian market to ensure their clients are buying property that will build long-term wealth.

At any one time as few as 5% of properties for sale are quality investment-grade properties that are suited to creating wealth. Buyers advocates help their clients identify, negotiate and buy these properties.

Why you need a vendors advocate

Even in a sellers' market vendors often fail to achieve the optimum price for their property. Vendors advocates can provide the independent, impartial advice needed to rationalise your property investments, manage the selling agent and protect your interests throughout the selling process.

Testimonials from people who have used a WBP buyers advocate or vendors advocate:

Greville Pabst is one of Melbourne's most respected and authoritative property experts. If you are a property investor or contemplating entering the market, Greville should be among your team of industry experts.

Greville has been a member of my panel of property experts for the past six years, in that time he has provided my clients with incisive, accurate market facts upon which to base critical buying decisions.

I can highly recommend Greville Pabst and his property group, WBP.

From a leading wealth creation service provider

Thank you so much for your help in selling our property. The way that you guided us through the process made it so much easier for us.

On the day of the auction you were not only professional but you used your initiative and experience to help us receive the best possible result. We obtained a result so much higher than our reserve due to your quick strategic thinking.

Thanks again. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to others who are selling their properties.

Home sellers

I just wanted to let you know that the big move is finally done. I move into the apartment on Monday afternoon. (No need to live in a hotel or for bridging finance!!) I am beginning to feel excited and love my new place.

I went to view it last week and it is everything that the pictures said it would be. It is small but beautifully finished with all the best appliances and fixtures in place.

Thank you for making this path to my new life so easy. Without your advice and support it would have been a whole lot harder and more expensive for me. I really appreciate what you did for me.
