Melbourne sells with a strong auction habit, especially across the inner and eastern suburbs, and Saturday results become local talking points. Vendors in Kew or Balwyn want a campaign plan and a recent sales record.
Vendors in Point Cook and Truganina are often selling a first home and want speed and price guidance. Victorian agents are licensed through Consumer Affairs Victoria.
Vendors usually sign an estate agency agreement and prepare a section 32 statement (the contract disclosure for buyers), and the rules on advertised price ranges are enforced. Buyers start on realestate.com.au and Domain, so an agent's own site earns its place on the vendor side.
Interest rates and clearance rates change the mood quickly, so vendor pages need regular updating.
