Frequently Asked Questions

What is a sellers' advocate and how can they help me?

A sellers advocate is an independent expert who acts solely on behalf of the property seller. Think of us as your trusted advisor, guiding you through the entire sales process to achieve the best possible outcome with the least stress. We provide a range of flexible services such a providing expert advice, handle negotiations, manage communication with agents and work tirelessly to get the best outcome.

Why don't sellers get charged an extra fee when using the service of a sellers advocate?

Sellers Advocates come at no additional cost to their clients because we are licensed professionals, and we receive a standard industry referral fee from the appointed real estate agent upon the successful sale of the property.

How is BH Sellers Advocate different from a real estate agent?

Real estate agents work with buyers and sellers to achieve a sale price. A vendor advocate only works for you, the seller, and everything we do is in your best interest throughout the process. We have no vested interest in a quick sale, but rather achieving the maximum sale price for you. The reason our service comes at no cost to the seller is because we receive a standard industry fee from your chosen real estate agent at settlement.
