As soon as I met Nicole she was a breath of fresh air. She took all the worry away instantly. I was so happy to let Nicole guide me through the process. She was professional and kind and full of valuable advise. I couldn’t have done it without Nicole at bayside advocates.
Nicole Payne of Bayside Real Estate Advocates organised the clearing, preparation and sale of my elderly mother’s Bayside house, a family home full of the clutter of many decades. I was repeatedly impressed by Nicole’s professionalism, by her efficiency, and by her ability to find a solution to apparently insoluble problems. She is also kind, sincere, empathetic and patient. She went far beyond the call of duty in supporting my mother during a very difficult transition. And despite unpromising market conditions, Nicole secured a price that exceeded our expectations. I have no reservations in giving her my highest recommendation. She deserves 10 stars, not just 5.
As a full time single parent, I am very time poor, selling my house was a daunting prospect. Nicole was an amazing help working through all the stages of getting the house ready for sale, negotiating with the real estate agents and managing the campaign. Nicole’s assistance took a lot of the stress out of what is one of life’s significant stressful events.
We had such a great experience working with Nicole! As first-time homebuyers, we were pretty nervous, but she made everything feel so easy and stress-free. She was always there to answer our questions and guide us through each step. We couldn’t have asked for a more supportive and kind agent. We highly recommend!
Real estate can be a bit of a daunting world, especially when you’re navigating it alone! After spending months looking for my perfect home and feeling very overwhelmed with the pace and pressure of the market, how lucky was I to be introduced to the beautiful Nicole! Nicole took the time to understand me and what was important to me in a home and got to work. Only a few short weeks later we were putting the sold sign on my dream home 🤩 I’m still pinching myself over it and couldn’t be more grateful to Nicole for her insight, support and tenacity in getting a great deal over the line. I can’t recommend Nicole & her team highly enough!!
We are so grateful to Bayside Real Estate Advocates for helping us find our first home. Clint and Nicole’s warm, friendly and professional approach turned what was a proving to be a challenging experience into such a smooth process. After searching on and off for nearly two years, we have now purchased a home we are thrilled with, less than six weeks after meeting Clint. Clint’s expert guidance through searching, preparation and communicating with agents was invaluable. Thanks to Nicole’s sharp bidding and negotiation skills, we were able to secure the property without overbidding — something we likely would have done without them. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you Clint & Nicole!
Are you thinking of buying or selling your property? Have you thought About hiring and using the professional services of an Advocate?
Most of us go directly to a real estate agent, don’t we, but did you know, an advocate relieves the stress and takes the work out of dealing directly with an agent? They are also adept at selling property ‘off market’ as in my case, via their network of advocates.
I resonated with Nicole immediately and her obvious love of real estate. She was an absolute delight to work with. She arranged everything! from interviewing the three agents, gaining their quotes, as well as two quotes from property stagers and then helped to make the ‘right’ selection.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with how advocates are paid: If she sells directly to a buyer, you will pay a lower commission to an advocate than an estate agent, but if the agent sells your property, it is the agent who pays her commission. You can’t lose!!!
I would use Nicole’s invaluable professional services every time. Thanks Nicole… I have no hesitation in recommending you for any real estate buying or selling project. 5 Stars to Nicole.
Thank you Nicole for your support and help, you made such a difference to a normally stressful time. Cant thank you enough.
Using Bayside Real Estate Advocates was an efficient way to purchase, Nicole was professional and calm. She has a vast understanding of all things real estate and property related, from building and design to contract due diligence, protecting us from potential unforeseen circumstances.
Her tradespeople and contacts were also efficient and very quick. She is a great negotiator and asked the agents the right questions. I felt as though the agents I spoke to were not always honest and open about the process and for that reason I was looking for far too long and getting disappointed. As soon as we met Nicole, we knew we were going about it all wrong, she explained the process and just made it happen.
Nicole saved us money and saved us time, I would always recommend Nicole to anyone buying and selling, it makes sense to get the best representation from the experts, especially on such a big investment. Thanks, Nicole we are excited about the future, many thanks.
Nicole did a fantastic job as a Vendors’ Advocate and Buyers’ Advocate for us. Nicole was honest, reliable and hardworking. She was always available to respond to any queries or concerns we had with care, compassion, and knowledgeable insight that not only kept us at ease but kept us feeling confident knowing we were on the right path to a successful transition. We highly recommend Nicole and the real estate services she provides.
Nicole was really easy to deal with, particularly the selection of a real estate agent, it was a fantastically easy process. We thought it was going to be daunting but Nicole helped us through and made it extremely easy.
Nicole’s follow up and all her dealing with the agent meant we only dealt with Nicole who organized everything for us, her knowledge and skills along with knowledge of the area was second to none.
We achieved a great result above our expectations, I would recommend Bayside Real estate Advocates to anyone. The best experience we had through all the houses we have sold. Nicole was warm and friendly but tough when she needed to be, I couldn’t recommend her enough.
My daughter recommended I use Nicole to help me sell my home. I could not have been happier, she was amazing, finding the correct agent, sourcing a handyman, and liaising with stylers and the agent throughout. She negotiated a great selling price and I sold in 6 days.!! What a wonderful lady she is. And just recently, I have used her services to purchase my next property! I would have no hesitation in recommending Nicole, she made the experience so easy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
We want to thank you for the wonderful experience you provided us in the lead up to the sale of our home in September. The professional team you engaged, and your positive approach to us as your clients was most encouraging and gave us confidence that all would be OK…and that it was! You have also guided and supported us navigate through to our next step with no hurdle being an issue – even putting up with me! We thank you and cannot recommend you more highly to anyone thinking of doing what we have just done! You are a star….
Kim and Dan started their search like most others but after talking to Nicole at Bayside real-estate Advocates they found it to be not as daunting as they once thought.
Nicole listened and understood what they were looking for and provided reports and information along the way, she negotiated on their behalf and bid at auction to achieve a successful result.
Happy buyers once again!
Are you spending every weekend going to open after open, auction after auction? Not sure where to buy or what to buy? A buyers advocate (also known as a buyer’s agent) does all the hard work for you, searching for the right property, in the right area and then negotiating on your behalf to ensure you pay the bare minimum saving you thousands of dollars.
A buyer’s advocate will either charge a fixed fee or a percentage of the purchase price depending on the type of services that is required. If the buyer has found a property and just needs a buyer’s advocate to negotiate the sale and bid at auction if needed then a fixed fee is charged.
If a buyer requires a full search, select, and purchase then we charge a small percentage of the final purchase price, Please feel free to call us to discuss further.
When purchasing a property, utilising a buyers advocate is extremely important for many reasons. One of the main reasons is we have access to a lot of off market properties that are not advertised, meaning you have a greater selection to choose from and also have exclusive access with no competition, meaning you will not pay a premium price.
Secondly, using the right buyer’s advocate to negotiate a sale can save you tens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars off the purchase price.
