Build or grow a property portfolio with a clear, written strategy

Selling a family home 🏠
We help families sell their own, a parent’s or relative’s home with confidence, care and independence.
Most vendor advocacy clients come to us when:
- They are selling a long-held family home
- The sale is required to help fund aged care
- Multiple family members are involved in decision-making
- They want independent guidance choosing the right selling agent
Vendor advocacy services are provided in Melbourne’s east and south-eastern suburbs.

What Makes PBA Different?
What Makes PBA Different?
Independent advice matters most when the stakes are high.
When you’re investing
When acting as a buyer’s agent for investors, we focus on structure, risk management and long-term outcomes.
Here’s what we do that many buyer’s agents don’t:
Start with a written investment strategy and signed brief before searching
Confirm finance limits and cash-flow guardrails before making offers
Physically inspect properties or use trusted local partners — never sight-unseen recommendations
Apply a structured due-diligence review to every shortlisted property
Present a clear negotiation plan and explain the outcome afterwards
Provide ongoing support after settlement, not just until contracts are signed.
When you’re selling a family home
Selling your own or your parent’s home is rarely just a transaction — it’s often emotional, complex and time-sensitive.
When acting as a vendor advocate, we:
Help you select and manage the right selling agent, without conflict of interest
Explain pricing, commissions and campaign strategies in plain English
Support families and multiple decision-makers, not just one contact
Balance price, timing and stress — not just the highest appraisal
Remain involved throughout the campaign so you’re never navigating decisions alone

What Our Customers Say About Us
Both my husband and I can highly recommend Manik as a Property Buyers Advocate, he just helped us purchase our first investment property in Pakenham, and he has been so incredibly patient and helpful - every step of the way! All of the research, online meetings and then the links to the conveyancers, building inspection company, property manager right to even showing a prospective tenant through the property, he has just been a wealth of knowledge and totally transparent about every aspect along the way too.
We highly recommend engaging Manik whether you’re new to property investment or have done it all yourself previously, he is absolutely one of the very best! Thank you so much Manik 🙏🙌

Our experience with Manik was excellent from start to finish. Dealing him was a real pleasure. Our brief was not straight forward however Manik managed to guide us in the right direction, which ultimately achieved a great result in purchasing a property that suits us perfectly. The professionalism and knowledge delivered by Manik was outstanding. Manik was always on top of everything, delivering ideas and suggestions with confidence, experience and warmth.

I never knew about buyers agent. Got introduced to Manik and he is wonderful to work with. Help with our first investment property from start to finish and beyond. He has a great network of property inspector, conveyancer and rental agents. He saved us so much time from looking right property from location, our land requirement for future development and return in rental. Not just that did many inspection for us. 100% worth the value of time and effort he has put in. Not just that he is very well spoken and lovely to deal with.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Who do you work with?
We work with two main groups: property investors who want to buy investment properties through our buyer’s agency service (Australia-wide), and families selling a parent’s or family home through our vendor advocacy service in Melbourne’s east, south-east and surrounding suburbs.
Can you help us sell a parent’s home to fund aged care?
Yes. This is a common reason families engage us as vendor advocates. We help you choose and manage the right selling agent, understand pricing and campaign options, and guide decision-making through the sale.
What does a buyer’s agent do?
A buyer’s agent represents the buyer, not the seller. We help you build a strategy, search and shortlist properties, inspect and assess options, complete due diligence, negotiate, and support you through settlement and beyond.
Do you work only with investors?
No. We help investors buy investment properties across Australia, and we also help Melbourne families sell a parent’s or family home, often to help fund aged care, through vendor advocacy.
Do you inspect properties before recommending them?
Yes. We do not recommend properties sight-unseen. Properties are either physically inspected by us or by trusted local partners, depending on location.
Where do you operate?
Our buyer’s agency for investors is available Australia-wide. Our vendor advocacy service is provided in Melbourne’s east, south-east and surrounding suburbs.
