Craig BrownVendor Advocate and Principal of Eastblock

  • Get the best price, less the stress

    With over 20 years of experience and many success stories, we know the right moves to make during the sales process, and we know how to work with the sales agent to get the best result.

  • Sit back or get involved

    You can be involved as much as you like, or we can handle virtually everything for you. From preparing your property for sale, finding the best sales agent, through to negotiating the final sale.

  • No additional cost to you

    Our fee is part of the sales commission so you get more value at no extra cost. Talk to us before you sign with a real estate agent.  For Project Management work in the preparation of your property, please see the "Project Management" tab above. Project Management work is billed independently to Vendor Advocacy.  

  • Strictly independent

    Eastblock is always completely independent of any real estate agency group. This means there is no bias, conflict of interest or hidden agendas.   See recommendations.

What does a Vendor's advocate do?

    Find the best agent for the job

    If you don't already have a preferred sales agent, we will help you find, evaluate and select the best and most suitable one to represent your property.

  • 3
    Market the property and attract buyers

    We will liaise with the selling agent on your behalf to answer buyers’ questions and address their concerns confidently and without delay.

  • 4
    Develop interested buyers and offers

    We engage interested buyers to help them arrive quickly at an acceptable offer for you. As an objective party, we cut through the usual noise, emotions and mind games to reach the best outcome without wasting time.

  • 5
    Negotiate the sale

    Finally, we'll discuss all offers and help you make the best possible decision. In the event of an auction, we will be present on the day with you.

  • Kathleen and RolandDirectors, The Sydney Writers Studio

    Our place has never looked better since we moved into it, fully renovated, seven years ago. Craig Brown and his team of professionals worked their magic inside and out, and they did everything while we were on holiday. We felt so secure and looked after by Craig. We were even sent photos to keep us up to date on how things were looking. It was as simple as handing over my front door key to Craig while he organised the rest. What a luxury! We can't thank you guys enough.
