Client success stories

Highly Recommend Clint & Nicole Payne!

We had an excellent experience with Clint Payne from Bayside Real Estate Advocates as our buyers agent. Clint is professional, honest and extremely knowledgeable. His strong relationships with local real estate agents gave us access to several off market properties, and his guidance & negotiations saved us a lot of money. The whole process was effortless, clear, and far less stressful thanks to him. We’ll happily recommend Clint to anyone looking for a buyer’s agent, especially if you’re looking for property anywhere Bayside or probably anywhere really.

We recently worked with Nicole from Bayside Real Estate Advocates and honestly couldn’t recommend her more highly.

From start to finish, she was professional, knowledgeable, and proactive.
She took the time to meet us face to face and understand exactly what we were after and kept us well-informed throughout the process. Nicole made what could have been a stressful experience feel seamless. Not to mention she was able to find the property we ended up buying within a month.

If you’re looking for someone who is experienced and well connected, Nicole is the one to call.

After a number of failed attempts at renovating and extending our home over the last 20 years or so, culminating in a dual occupancy venture. We took stock and decided to sell and downsize. A chance conversation with a roofer led me to consider a real estate advocate. Enter Nicole Payne who achieved a great outcome with sale of our property. The next step in our journey is the search for an address to call home. I am confident Clint and Nicole will deliver the goods. It’s her shout next at the Two Little Monkeys Cafe.

We highly recommend Nicole Payne from Bayside Real Estate Advocates. We have just worked with Nicole in the selling of my elderly mother’s home, that she has been living in for over 50 years. Nicole took so much stress out of this process for mum, and for us. Her advice was invaluable; what we needed or didn’t need to do to get the house ready, organising valuations, vetting the agents proposals, recommending services, and advice throughout the campaign. In fact we sold off market at a fantastic price, saving us the open for inspections and auction that would have been very stressful for mum. Nicole was also a great negotiator on the price obtained for us. On top of such a great result Nicole was very easy to deal with, very kind and caring, and mum felt very relaxed and comfortable with her. I would definitely use Nicole in the selling of any property in the future.

Bayside real estate advocates managed my sale and I couldn’t be happier. Nicole was recommended by Aveo and the lovely staff at the George when I approached them to downsize into independent living. I had recently found myself on my own and as much as I love gardening the house was just too big for me to take care of on my own, coupled with some health concerns I knew it was time to downsize. With the help and support of Nicole at Bayside real estate advocates I chose her to be my Vendor advocate and I was so glad I did. Nicole helped get the house ready for sale and chose the agent and ran the campaign, coordinating with the agent and reporting to me along the way so I always knew what my choices were. Her experience and suggestions were exactly what I needed during the sale. We achieved a fantastic result on Auction day, Nicole negotiated with the agent on my behalf behind closed doors and I’m so grateful she was my secret weapon, I’m sure if she wasn’t there being my advocate the outcome would have been less favorable on the day. I recommend Nicole to anyone selling, using a Vendor advocate with her depth of knowledge and compassion was exactly what I needed during my sale.

Engaging Clint and the team at Bayside Real Estate Advocates was the best decision we made when my wife and I started looking to buy our first property. Not only did Clint walk us through what can be a very complex process but he took the time to understand what we wanted in a house and worked to present us the best options within our budget. His negotiation skills are second to none and got us over the line on an amazing property.
