Every agency uses the same portals, the same photographers and the same methods. What differs is who does the work. Alan Weiss runs every campaign himself.
Most sellers choose an agent by the name on the board. The name wins the listing. It does not sell the home.
The tools are identical now. Portals, photography, styling, software, auction or private treaty. Every agency has them. A buyer sees your home in the same feed, whatever logo sits beside it.
So the result comes down to one person. How many campaigns that person carries, and how much of the work they do themselves.
A volume agent earns from turnover. Listings are won, then handed down the line. A quick sale at a lower price pays almost the same as a patient one at a higher price, and it frees the diary for the next appraisal.
I work the other way. A small number of campaigns at a time. Every inspection, every buyer call and every negotiation handled by me, from the appraisal to the final signature.
Many campaigns, one diary.
Your campaign, one of many.
A short list, handled personally.
Your campaign, the whole week.
An illustration of the two operating models, not a measurement of any agency.
Holding out for your best price takes time. To a busy agent, that time is worth more spent winning the next listing. Move the slider and see where the extra money goes.
Worked at an illustrative 2% commission, before GST. In a larger office the individual agent receives only part of the agency’s share.
Data-driven appraisals backed by thirty-five years in these streets. A price the comparables support, not a figure chosen to win the listing.
The same portals and photographers every agency uses, aimed at the buyers most likely to pay for your home.
Alan negotiates every sale himself. He has met every buyer, and he knows when to hold and when to close.
Timeline, expectations, presentation. Professional photography and property description.
Multi-channel promotion. Online, print, open homes. Qualified interest and momentum.
Buyer interest peaks. We negotiate, manage multiple bidders and close at the best price.
Inspections, legal work, final details. We manage the process so you can look ahead.
We don’t guess. We analyse comparable sales, buyer demand, market trends and your property’s particular strengths. The right price attracts serious buyers and creates competition between them.
First impressions matter. Professional photography, considered copy and strategic buyer targeting put your home in front of the right people, not just every passing scroll.
The first impression is made from the footpath. Fresh paint, tidy landscaping and a clean entrance can add real value.
A clean home shows better. Professional cleaning, decluttering and light styling make every space feel larger.
Fix the obvious things. Leaking taps, cracked tiles and sticking doors pull attention away from what the property does well.
From pricing strategy to final handover, every detail is managed by the person you hired. One conversation is a good place to start.
