Wendy helped us buy a home from 1900+km away!

We live in New South Wales, in a remote part of the state, and came to Melbourne to buy the house of our dreams. We found the house, but given that we were so remote from Melbourne, and given that we wanted to put a distance between ourselves and the vendors agent, and us as the sort of purchasers, we employed Wendy Chamberlain in order to act as our buying agent; our eyes and ears and that go between between the vendors agent and ourselves.

[We found it] extremely easy, even though we were, what, how many miles apart? 1900 kilometres or whatever, but on the phone we were able to discuss exactly what we wanted, our tactics, and Wendy was fantastic in the feedback, commentary, and strategy, and in the end won us the house of our dreams! I think Wendy did the heavy lifting.

For me, it takes all of the heat out of the relationship between ourselves and the vendor solicitors, it puts that bridge in place, such that it takes the emotion out of us buying a house, and places all that weight on Wendy’s shoulders to get us the deal that we were happy with. And also your relationships with the various real estate agents, you knowing their background, you having that insider information was invaluable. Thank you!

Monique & Simon 

Wendy made our lives so much easier

Thanks Wendy. I found it really really useful and amazing actually because we’ve been looking for a while and struggling to find something we wanted so it was really incredibly helpful to have you, Wendy, kind of discuss what we wanted exactly and what we were looking for and you just worked so hard to present us with so many options and we finally found something relatively quickly; we were very picky, and you somehow found us exactly what we wanted, so, [we were] very happy with the process.

I think the best thing was the fact that we are very busy and we don’t have a lot of time, we’re very time poor, so you kind of did all of the leg work and the ground work and you just made our life so much easier, and also managed to find us something off-market that we never would have found by ourselves, so yeah we’re really grateful for that.  

Home-buyer, Brunswick West 

Wendy gave me excellent advice!

Wendy is a true professional in every sense of the word. I was very demanding in what I wanted in a property. When I was inspecting potential properties, she gave excellent advice in response to my queries and comments. I was reassured by the care she took in seeking the right property. On finding the property, which ticked all the boxes, she was not shy in her negations with the vendor! All the wrap around services in the purchasing of the property took the stress out of the whole process. I appreciated how well Wendy communicated and understood what I wanted and enabled me to complete my purchase with efficiency. I am really in awe of the gentle and caring manner Wendy [had when she] lead me through to the successful purchase. Thank you, Wendy, and team.

Home Buyer, Thornbury 

Wendy helped us find a home in 2 weeks!

I have a wonderful friend who recommended Wendy to us, and said that Wendy changed their lives. And, being that we were about 27 weeks pregnant when we engaged Wendy’s help to find us our first home… We’d been looking for about 6 months and getting pretty depressed at the market, and our first/ my first meeting with Wendy she was like I can send you all these off-market properties, we can go and have a look, and promised that she’d find us a house possibly before our baby arrived, and she managed it in 2 weeks!

It took all the pressure and stress out of looking for a property, organising building inspections, Wendy had all of the contacts to do all of that, and it meant that I was doing less running around; I was less stressed. And it just took the pressure off us completely to do all the looking and hunting ourselves. We are so excited to move in next week, we are absolutely thrilled. 

Courtney 

We’d recommend Wendy’s help to anyone, particularly first home-buyers!

It feels amazing having bought our first home finally, after a few months of looking! 

We feel really relieved now that we’ve bought our first home, we’re really excited to start making plans to move in, in a few weeks, and to move into our first home together! 

We found it really easy, we found that you were able to cater to all our needs, you really made the whole process very simple for us, as people who are complete novices. So, that was probably the best part. You took a lot of stress out of the process for us, and made it a really fun and enjoyable experience. 

Absolutely, I’d recommend [Chamberlain Property Advocates] to anyone, especially around my age bracket. All my friends, I definitely would. 

It’s really really helpful for people buying their first home, who don’t have any experience. 

Sarah & Joe 

Buying a house interstate was so much easier with Wendy’s help

It was very smooth; it would have been very difficult for us moving interstate to arrive and go through all the negotiations necessary to buy a house. Wendy made it so much easier for us. We don’t think we could have got the house that we ended up with without her help. 

We had moved from never having moved from our house of 52 years, and so we weren’t familiar with all of the process of buying and [Wendy’s background knowledge] really helped us. 

[Wendy’s] communication throughout the whole process was excellent. Every question was answered promptly. Wendy’s staff are also wonderful to work with. 

Dianne & Paul 

Wendy helped us buy our forever home

So, I guess this was a long time in the making; I mean 3 months of solid looking, but a couple of years almost, on and off looking, and then when we finally found the house that we really liked. Being able to be stepped through the process was an incredible thing; just having someone that knew how the real estate industry works and made things happen and got things done quickly, and was able to answer all the questions that we had, and any of the anxieties or things we weren’t sure of, and just being able to have someone that was genuine and gave us advice and was so responsive and so engaged and just clearly loves what they do, and making things happen for families was incredible. We wouldn’t have been able to do it without you. [It was also] reassuring with the final result to know someone that knows what they’re talking about, also thinks it was a reasonably good decision, [and that] we’ve made the best choice for our family. Thank you, for you, we now have our forever home. 

Before this process I would have had so many more questions and so many more uncertainties, but working with a Buyers Advocate just made it so much easier, made it a clearer process; we felt secure and certain every step of the way. And the stress of balancing work and all the communication; having someone that knows what to do, can sort of step you through the process, and knew exactly who to speak to just to make things happen, so we weren’t wasting time. It all happened so quickly, and because of that we didn’t miss out. It all happened in probably 2 days, where it would have taken us weeks. In 48 hours we got a house! 

Andrew & Lauren 

Wendy helped us buy our house in 12 hours!

We’re really happy with our experience with Wendy who was introduced to us by some friends who bought in 2 days, and we bought our property today in about 12 hours, so we’re really excited! They’ve done a great job.

We can’t believe how quick it was; we’ve got friends in the exact same position as us, first home buyers, we’ll definitely be recommending them.

Bridget & Tim

I wouldn’t have been able to find my dream home without Wendy’s help

It was a really easy experience, very reassuring and pretty stress-free, relatively stress-free considering what we’re doing! But, I know it was a really good experience, I would recommend it.

The best part about this property is definitely the, probably the view, that was something that I really wanted and managed to get, but also because we got it off-market. I was the only bidder on the property and managed to secure it without needing to go to auction, which was a huge advantage!

Huge time saving, huge, made the process a lot easier – it didn’t have to absorb my entire life for 6 months, and [we] managed to find the right property off-market, that I wouldn’t have been able to find myself. I would recommend that people use a Buyer’s Advocate, absolutely.

Rhys

It was a real comfort working with Wendy

Wendy provided an exceptional service and made the whole process so much easier. It was a real comfort working with a professional who I could trust to steer me in the right direction. She managed to find me a great value property before it came to market, and I would recommend her services to any first home buyers.

Rhys

We are delighted with our result from working with Wendy

Moving interstate from a house that we had lived in for 50 years to an area where we did not know the suburbs, solicitors, building inspectors, or any of the finer points of buying  a house was traumatic, but the team at Chamberlain Property Advocates made it easier to find, and ultimately purchase, a house that met almost all of our extensive wish list.

We are delighted with the result and would definitely recommend them to home buyers.

Paul

We couldn’t recommend Wendy more highly

Wendy and Brooke were fantastic to work with. We received a few off market opportunities butended up purchasing something that we absolutely love that was on market.

The due diligence in understanding the street, area, property and seller that Wendy did was invaluable to us. And because we also knew what off market options were yet to hit the market we felt confident, calm and excited that this was the place for us.

It was night and day to how we felt when purchasing our own for a previous home. We couldn’t recommend more highly.

Brendan Sanders

Wendy saved us so much hassle!

It was really good. We were from interstate, so it was a bit difficult coming down and looking for different properties. So, we worked with the Buyer’s Advocate- she found the right properties, found the right suburbs for us which was really really important, and the inspections were conducted very well, and she told us things that we probably wouldn’t have picked up when we did the inspections ourselves.

It saves so much hassle, and you see things that you wouldn’t pick up unless you live there, or you live around in the area.

It was a very well conducted campaign to get the house, and the auction went really well and Wendy was very clear with her advice and with how she conducted herself during the negotiation.

Sumaiya & Mudasser

We’re excited to move in and bring our baby home!

We are feeling relieved and excited and ready for 2024!

We didn’t end up going to any auctions but I know that you would have been able to do that for us as well, which was something that we were extremely stressed about I think, for a long period of time, so that was really important. Having someone to reassure us that we were making okay decisions as well was very helpful.

[We’re] very happy, this has been a goal for a very long time! We’re excited to move in and excited to bring our baby home!

Emily & Gerald

We found the right home for us, thanks to Wendy

It was even more helpful than I thought it was going to be. I didn’t realise all the things I didn’t know about buying a house, and it was really amazing to have guidance along the way. I think the best part for us was, as we’re pretty time poor, having people who knew what they were doing, doing all the legwork for us, doing the run around with the agents, setting up the inspections, finding out different information about the property, and about who else was interested, just made a big difference to us, being able to make an informed decision in feeling confident in what we were buying.

It feels like the right home for us. And I think feeling assured along the way, that when we lost out on something before, just feeling assured that there was going to be something better that came along, and that that wasn’t the right house but what we would find would be the right house for us, which has been more true than I could have expected.

Nisha & David

Absolutely stellar performance

Working with Wendy [was an] excellent experience! Made the process so much simpler than it would have been on myself; taking advantage of all the contacts she has as well made connecting to the right people absolutely dead simple.

[Wendy’s] contacts with other real estate agents, [meant] they managed to get this place off market! Wouldn’t have been able to find this place without them. Absolutely stellar performance.

[Having Wendy’s help] really took the guesswork out of a lot of things, finding places to go look at that were what I wanted to look at already, without having to spend the extra time finding it myself. Dealing with all the real estate agent shenanigans as well, just having that extra person who knows what they’re doing who can sounding board your own ideas against them, so you sort of figure out what you want; if it’s a good idea or not.

Stuart

Could not have found our perfect home without Wendy!

We loved working with Wendy; could not have found our perfect home without her. We really struggled trying to not only identify homes that fit our budget and style, but trying to understand a market that we’re completely new to. We are both Canadian, trying to understand an Australian auction system; it’s entirely overwhelming and Wendy held our hand and explained every detail to us. It really helped us feel comfortable and confident about what we were doing and when we were doing it.

[She] saved us a huge amount of time not going to properties that definitely wouldn’t have fit our style, or what we needed. And she always kept us with level heads, even when our hearts were fully in it, she brought us back down to the real world, told us what it was worth and made sure that we got the house we always dreamt of.

Working with an advocate really streamlined what we were trying to do and helped us focus on what we need to do; which is work, make money, and see the homes that we actually want to buy. We didn’t have to waste our weekends, our evenings, going to places that we knew wouldn’t be right for us, because Wendy already knew that they wouldn’t be right for us.

Cameron & Amanda

Kept us calm at all the auctions that we attended!

Working with Wendy has been great in terms of helping us secure our first home. Helped us along the way, with every step of the process, whether or not it was very last minute, which it often was in our situation. Attending all the auctions with us, helping us, you know, step through all the different hoops, and also just being the hand to hold, and keep us calm at all the auctions that we attended.

With all the inspections, and organising for pest and builders inspections, helpful with that with all the different connections that she has within the industry. It’s great working with a buyers advocate just to have someone who has that knowledge and their expertise. Someone who has connections within the industry, and can help you every step of the way. Answer all our questions basically. Someone to go to for guidance.

I think being first-time buyers there’s a lot you don’t know, that you don’t know, and so having someone that you can go to for guidance and who you know is on your side is not going to lead you astray is very helpful to have.

Courtney & Lachlan

No messing around!

Just an incredible experience.

Wendy does everything for you! You just have to say ‘yes’ and it’s all done. No messing around.

We would never have found it without you.

Eva & Mark

Truly goes above and beyond to ensure best services are provided

Absolutely fantastic experience with Wendy and her team. As first home buyers we had endless questions and doubts that were always addressed promptly. What we really appreciate about Wendy’s support is that she not only helped us along our journey but was able to guide us to make the right decisions. She works in [the] buyer’s best interests, has an awesome network of people and truly goes above and beyond to ensure that best services are provided to her clients. We couldn’t be more grateful and want to thank Wendy and Jemma for their services, patience and kindness.

If you are in the market looking to buy a property, go to Chamberlain Property Advocates. Highly recommended.

Varun & Niharika

First class every step of the way

I have never sold a property before and the ONLY recommendation I have is do not do it yourself – the smartest investment is using a buyers agent, in particular Wendy.

Wendy was more than a sellers agent, she is your one stop shop for interior decorating and staging your property for the market, selecting the right agent to sell your property too, even conveyancing tips. The bonus, you are in control every step of the way, Wendy comes with recommendations, you make the decisions.

Her care and communication was first class every step of the way. She kept accountability between all parties, including me.

Thank you Wendy – using you is not a may to sell a property, a must!

Simon

It’s been a great journey

We’re very happy to have been successful at bidding and without Wendy we wouldn’t have been able to be successful I don’t think. If I bid on a house at an auction, I would have got the numbers all wrong.

The journey has been great with Wendy. She’s been very helpful, always very helpful. Always seems to answer her phone at strange times of the day, which is good. Good at researching different properties and talking to real estate agents on our behalf. We’ve just felt a lot less anxious I think, about buying a house and having Wendy involved and dealing with real estate agents instead of having to talk to them directly and it’s been a great journey. It’s been a long journey but we got there in the end.

Martyn & Debbie

Made life a dream for us

We’ve been working with Wendy to sell our house. It’s been a pleasure working with Wendy. She’s helpful, negotiating with the new purchasers has made life a dream for us. Wendy’s been supporting us with phone calls, text messages, everywhere with us. Highly recommend Chamberlain’s to help you if you’ve got to buy or sell property.

Working with a Sellers Advocate has really helped us, because trying to negotiate through a real estate agent as busy working professionals, we didn’t have the time to do it. Having Wendy support us and work with the real estate agent saved us a lot of time and stress which is really important when you’re trying to sell an asset. We’re very happy.

Roslyn & Paul

Working with Chamberlain Property Advocates was a really good experience

Working with an advocate was a really interesting process for the family and I. This was my first time buying a property, so having an advocate was really helpful; took away a lot of the stress. We also found that we feel more educated about property purchasing and the whole process now. So having an advocate to guide us through that, was really helpful.

Working with Chamberlain Property Advocates was a really good experience. We found the process was helpful. They helped us narrow down what we were looking for. And assisted us with all the ins and outs of buying property and taught us about bidding at auction, and the insider knowledge around off-market properties was really useful

So this property was off-market, so had we not used an advocate we wouldn’t had known about this ourselves. And for us that has been one of the biggest benefits of working with an advocate.

We’re very happy with our purchase. Actually buying a property during the lockdowns that we’ve experienced has been challenging. And we’ve purchased this property site unseen until today so we actually had a couple of Zoom walkthroughs and purchased that way. Which was a little bit daunting, but having an advocate assist us to break some of the stress with that extra complication that we had.

Belinda & Sunny

We felt very comfortable working with Wendy

Working with wendy to buy our first home, it was a great experience! We felt like we had great communication, we were always in the know about things that we needed to know about buying properties or looking at properties, she made the experience a lot more easier on us considering our shifts and things like that. It was very smooth just from the get-go, like as soon as we hit our first meeting, wendy and the team were on top of it, and we managed to buy our first home within a couple of weeks, so that was very exciting for us! We’re excited to finally move in about a month’s time.

You feel very comfortable when you’re talking with wendy or any of the other reps that work for Wendy. It was good to have that communication along every step of the way so being in the know with clear information really helped and put us at ease for sure.

We’re very excited scared; it will be good to get out of our one bedroom box!

Christina & Lincoln

I was supported through the entire selling process, from inspections to auction day and beyond

After 30 years, I decided to sell my house.

What a blessing it was to have been told of Wendy Chamberlain and the wonderful work she and her team do, as property advocates.

They supported me right through the selling process of inspections and auction, afterwards, attending to all the little odds and ends that needed to be tidied up.

They were marvelous!

Cheryl

I would highly recommend Wendy’s services

I was really happy with Wendy’s assistance and help. She guided me through the whole process, everything from renovating the apartment, to looking at what needs to be done to achieve the best market price.

Negotiating with the agent made it so much easier for me and we achieved a really great result on the day of the auction.

I was really happy with everything that Wendy did and I would highly recommend her services.

Wendy has assisted me with selling a number of properties. I have appreciated the complete and thorough way in which she works towards the sale of a property and her advice guiding me through the process. I’m extremely happy to recommend Wendy’s services as a vendor advocate.

Tony

Just made the whole thing so much more relaxing and stress free

Thanks Wendy, it was such a good experience working with you!

You helped with all the things I had no idea how to do myself, seeing you go through the process and having a ‘momma bear’ of retail there for me was really awesome!

I could not have gotten to this point without you. You made the whole thing so much more relaxing and stress free, and I felt like there was really someone there helping me along the way. It was amazing!

Having someone who knows the process, especially as a first home buyer who had not gone through the whole process before, who didn’t know who to talk to, or what the steps were, having someone to demystify all that and talk to the agent for you especially were the really big things for me.

You always had time for me, always available, super personable, warm and friendly.

Karla

As a first homebuyer, I had no idea what was involved in buying a home. Wendy made the entire process so easy by helping me assess properties; liaising and negotiating on my behalf with agents, solicitors and others; and organising and tracking all the steps leading up to offers/bids and all of the ones after I was successful.

Wendy is warm and caring and I couldn’t have done it without her help!

Karla

Wouldn’t have been possible without Wendy

Thanks so much Wendy… wouldn’t have been possible without you. You’ve been amazing through this whole process ❤️

Courtenay

I just bought my first house!

I just got my first house and thanks to Wendy Chamberlain it was actually pretty easy. Going into something like this it was sort of daunting. You don’t know what to expect.
The service was actually pretty good, and pretty fast and timely. I had a house within about a month, so get on it!

Scott

Our client was understandably thrilled with the result

Best decision I made was to reach out to Wendy

As a first time property seller, the best decision I made was to reach out to Wendy. She and her team were fantastic, worked in total collaboration with the real estate agent, and their communication was excellent.

Wendy’s down to earth nature, honesty and reassurance throughout the process made selling my property as stress free as can be, knowing I was in very capable hands.

Thanks,
Sara

With the help of Wendy, everything went much smoother

It was fantastic! Thanks to Wendy for helping us buy this home.  It was very helpful, especially the last few hours when we found out that we actually could buy this house.  Everything happened just in a minute.

Would have been very stressful if it was just us but with the help of Wendy everything went much smoother.  Of course, we are happy! We just bought our first house!  Thank you.

Thanks Wendy!
Peter & Reka

Experience, knowledge, relationships and contacts – she had them all

This has been four years in the making, getting our dream home.  The last two weeks we’ve been with Wendy at Chamberlain’s and she made the process so much easier.  Within 24 hours, we had a brand new house.
Thanks so much, Wendy!

It was so much easier working with a buyer’s advocate.  We’ve been looking for four years, we’ve been doing it ourselves and it was so much easier dealing with Wendy at Chamberlain’s.  Experience, knowledge, relationships and contacts – she had them all.  It just made it so much easier for us.  We are so very happy!

Thanks so much for your help, Wendy.
Craig & Mirella

It’s a one-stop shop to buying a house

This is the second time working with Wendy and it’s been excellent again. She found us a number of properties and talked us through the process and in the end we purchased our dream home. Thank you Wendy.

Yes, its great working with an advocate that takes you through all the ins and outs, the things you wouldn’t know [if you were] purchasing a property through agents and also then navigates you through the different aspects of purchasing a house like property inspections, the ins and outs of legal fees, and then puts you on to everyone you need to know.  So it’s a one-stop shop to buying a house.

Doug & Diedre

Instantly knew that Wendy was “the one”

Before engaging Wendy and her team, I was a disheartened first-home buyer, skeptical that I’d ever be able to buy my first home on budget and in Melbourne. Having experienced the rollercoaster of emotions associated with auctions and bidding wars with other buyers, I wanted to engage a professional who not only knew what they were doing, but one who had my best interests at heart. Initially I struggled to decide on an advocate; those I came across attempted to seduce me a lot of flashy marketing and fancy websites and big promises. It was during my search I asked my financial advisor who he recommended.  While he didn’t know a reputable one first hand, he shared that a relative knew Wendy and thought she was great. I then contacted Wendy and instantly knew that she was ‘the one’.

From day one, Wendy and her team were responsive, empathetic and knew what they were doing. I felt completely at ease with Wendy and had no trouble putting 110% faith in her, knowing that she had my best interest at heart.

I was initially worried about having to spend money on an advocate. After meeting Wendy, I knew it was a great investment. She has dedicated countless hours coaching, guiding and empowering me to make the right decisions for what I want. I managed to secure a property in record time this week and it would not have been possible without Wendy. I would (in fact, I will) engage Wendy and her team for my next property as I build an investment portfolio and would strongly encourage anyone else looking for their first home, second home or fifth home to follow in my footsteps.

Cheers, Shaun

Obtained a price well above what we ever imagined

Wendy has been amazing with the sale of our property in Kew East. From the moment I first spoke to her she was clear, upfront and did what she said she was going to do.

Being vendors from interstate it made the process so much easier. She coordinated difficult property managers and trades, she saved us money on repairs , sourced an amazing agent and most of all obtained a price well above what we ever imagined.

I highly recommend Wendy Chamberlain and her team and will definitely work with her again if the opportunity arises. Thank you Wendy!

Katheryn

Absolutely grinning from ear to ear

So I recently sort of made the plunge into the house buying market, at what was already a pretty stressful time, hearing all the media reports of the market going crazy. The more research you start do the more you realize you don’t know in the process, and it really does starts to get pretty daunting and what really gets daunting is when you find that property that you really keen on, which I did and really worrying that I am going to let it slip away. So that’s why I was really lucky in that, through my in-laws, who had engaged Wendy to help get the property of their dreams, I thought “this is the perfect opportunity to do the same”. And I really wouldn’t turn back.

All of these things that were really stressful and worrisome, Wendy’s knowledge and skill set really took all of that away, and really gave me the confidence that, with her help, I’d be able to put in an offer that would be both competitive and, at the end of the day, successful.

It really helped me navigate a lot of the barriers and difficulties you encounter, not just in putting an offer in, but in getting from the point of the offer being placed, to actually being successful at the end of the day.

I’m super super happy with the purchase and I can’t thank Wendy and her team enough. I definitely recommend using an advocate, especially an advocate such as Wendy.

As a first home buyer who had identified their ideal property, it was quite daunting thinking about how to do all of the background research let alone approaching the negotiation process. I am absolutely grinning from ear to ear that I engaged Wendy to assist with the negotiation process, as it took all of the stress out of the process.

In addition to negotiating with the real estate agent, Wendy was very proactive in coordinating all of the other research and investigations that needed to go on behind the scenes (with regular progress updates to discuss any issues). Wendy really went above and beyond to investigate extra issues (such as investigating the possibility of flammable cladding on the building), including chasing up key reports from the council that were key to resolving the issue.

I also loved that I not only had Wendy on my side, but her fantastic and well-qualified network that she could reach out to for assistance with any issues that cropped up in the process.

I can wholeheartedly say I will be recommending Wendy to any friends or family looking to take the stress out of buying their first or next home.

Steve

Completely worth it

“I’d been previously ripped off when buying a property, because I didn’t know the legal ins & outs, OR how to deal with less than scrupulous selling agents.

This time around, I took up Wendy on her Negotiate only package, and it was completely worth it. Wendy gave me her 100% attention and brought to bear a formidable knowledge base, passion and process to my side 🙂

I’d recommend Wendy for any purchase or real estate transaction. She will fight for you and knows exactly what she’s doing!

Thank you Wendy!

Stephen & Connie

Great outcome! Stoked!

We want to say thank you so much.  We are delighted with the result and we keep saying to each other, we couldn’t have done it without you and your calm, professional advice, helping us navigate the very, very stressful process of selling a house.  We are very, very happy and we would love to work with you again. Great outcome! Stoked!

Thank you, Wendy!
Cait & Dave

I’m really happy with the result

This is the second property that I have sold with the help of Chamberlain Property Advocate and from the get-go it was a very easy process. The best thing I like about using Wendy’s services is that I only have to deal with one person, and she coordinates everything with the agents, and the staging, and all the other pieces of selling the house.

Wendy really helped us find the most appropriate property agent to use. Even during these challenging times, we got a really great outcome, and I’m really happy with the result. So I wouldn’t hesitate to tell anyone to contact Wendy and see for yourself.  I will highly recommend Wendy and Chamberlain Property Advocates to anyone.  If you have a property to sell, I would highly recommend that you contact Wendy from Chamberlain Property Advocates.

It will be a really good experience for you and it will be a very easy process.

Gayan

Managed & co-ordinated everything

We’re very time poor people. It was fantastic to have Wendy managing and co-ordinating everything. Her project management skills are phenomenal. We also appreciated that Wendy “told it as it is”; for example, when we had unrealistic price expectations she wasn’t afraid to tell us.

We also appreciated having Wendy price checking our offer by speaking to other agents.

The fix fee is attractive; others tried to use a percentage model which makes you wonder how motivated they are to get you the best price.

Happy home buying client,

Deepdene

Did a fantastic job

We used Wendy in deciding on the value of the property and how we would go about securing it. Wendy & Susan did a fantastic job, and I would definitely recommend using Chamberlain Property Services.

Mary Beth

Found me the perfect home, off market

“Having lived in the UK for the past 8 years, I’ve been planning ahead for my return to Melbourne and wanted a property to move back to. Being so far away, Wendy and her team have found me the perfect home to move back to.

For each property that was viewed, Wendy provided a video walk through, photos and detailed emails which really bridged the distance gap for me.

Not only does Wendy have an exemplary knowledge of the property market and current trends, but has great contacts with local Real Estate Agents. Properties at auction were going well above my budget, but luckily Wendy was able to get me access to properties before they went on the market where I was able to negotiate and purchase my dream home.”

Bec

Highly recommended when selling

Wendy and Kate were wonderful during the sale of my first home! Highly recommend this service!

Vic

Wendy found us a beautiful house

Thank you very much Wendy for finding our beautiful house and everything you have done for us in that process.

It has worked out very well and we are very happy.

Sophie and Andy

Wendy found us our dream home

We were looking for a place we could call our own and we reached out to Wendy Chamberlain.

We have had an amazing experience so far and we are standing in front of what we think is going to be our dream house. It has everything we are looking for and Susmita has been really excited. Absolutely, and we truly enjoyed working with Wendy and she is amazing! She is the best! Thank you.

Subir and Susmita

A completely seamless experience

I have recently purchased a new property and from start to finish, it was a completely seamless experience.

Wendy is knowledgeable, accommodating, very proactive and personable. She was very transparent with the communication between all the stakeholders involved and was able to accommodate my requests in the whole process.

I would absolutely recommend Wendy for her services. Wendy, thanks a lot for all the help in this journey towards my first home.

Nicky

Less stress when buying & selling

Dear Wendy,
Thank you so much for all your help and patience in my buying and selling of homes.

It would have been much more stressful if you hadn’t been by my side. Best wishes for a happy & healthy life.

Regards, Pauline

Ecstatic to buy first home

Thank you to Wendy for helping me find this fantastic property.

I am so excited. It is in the location that I wanted.

It’s got fantastic transport nearby. It’s in a great spot with lovely neighbours.

I am ecstatic to have bought this so thank you very much for your help.

You can’t beat Wendy! Amazing

Wendy listened to every need we had, especially being our late father’s estate and made sure she was very sensitive to our feelings, put us at ease and simplified every step by being the voice between the Real Estate Agent and The Trustees.

We feel Wendy and her team are extremely professional, thorough and always returns your emails and phone calls, even after hours. Wendy is on to it, getting you answers and replying to you. We did not have to worry about anything, we trust Wendy.

Wendy went above and beyond for us, finding keys, screening agents, writing up inspection reports, advising how marketing is going. Everything was completed on time, even before deadlines, Wendy would be following up with Agents and Trustees and reporting back to us ASAP. Her ability to return your call or reply to your email in an instant with all of her honesty and knowledge is such a skill that Wendy executes so well.

Having Wendy’s support and knowledge of the property market and the selling process was a great benefit to us. You can’t beat Wendy! Amazing.

Provides exceptional value

Super professional result

We sold our house through Wendy. She and her team were fantastic, and made for a pain-free, effortless (from our side) super professional result. Many thanks!

Great advice & guidance

Thank you Wendy for helping us to sell our house and all your hard work coordinating the sale. It was an easy process from the get go and I am glad that we were able to work with you.

From the start you gave us great advice and guided us through this first time selling a house, and I think we were lucky to have worked with someone like you with so much experience and a lot of guidance. As a first time seller, I would have gone crazy if not for you coordinating the different parties involved.  We learnt a lot during the process while being guided by you.

It was so easy to work with you and deal with the agents as well, so thank you very much and we are looking forward to working with you again. We will definitely refer you to our friends and family when they have to sell their property.

Fantastic work

Hey Wendy!

Thanks for the fantastic work you’ve done providing us a new family home for the next forty years.

Much appreciated.

Felicity & Dek

Very pleasing experience

Our experience as agents dealing with Chamberlain Property Advocates was very pleasing. We felt that given the status of the market across Melbourne has become somewhat challenging, we all worked strongly together to make sure that the property sold on the day of the auction and that the vendors were happy was the result!

Bernadette Kiraly & Matt Giulieri, Marshall White One

Wealth of knowledge and experience

On the recommendation of someone, we entrusted Wendy Chamberlain to be our vendors advocate.

We used Wendy’s wealth of knowledge and experience to deal with the agents. We found Wendy to be friendly and always prompt in responding to questions. She kept us up to date with the potential buyers inspecting our home and the thoughts and ideas of the agent.

All in all, we were very comfortable dealing with Wendy and would definitely recommend her services.

Kind regards, Geoff & Wendy

Prompt and knowledgeable service

Thanks so much Wendy for helping us to find our perfect investment property!

We appointed Wendy and Chamberlain Property Advocates as we are both time poor, working full time and we lacked the knowledge and confidence to buy a property ourselves.

Wendy was always available to patiently answer all our questions. At all times Wendy provided us with prompt and knowledgeable service.

Wendy has established connections and relationships within the property industry and it was via these relationships she was able to find us a brilliant property that others had overlooked. Wendy negotiated a fabulous price and we paid well below market value as a result.

We both whole heartedly recommend Wendy Chamberlain as your Buyer’s Agent to help you buy an investment property in Melbourne.

Dawn & James

Provided invaluable assistance

We recently worked with Wendy to find and purchase our first home. Wendy was with us throughout the entire process, and answered all the questions we had, no matter how big or small. Wendy provided us with invaluable assistance in our property search, and her knowledge of the Melbourne property market and different locations is a huge advantage when searching in a competitive market as a first home buyer. Wendy was able to give us insights into which areas and types of properties would be ideal for our circumstance, and gave us energy when we felt exhausted by the process. In the end, Wendy was able to locate an off-market property which we were able to purchase at a very competitive price, without having to worry about competition from other buyers or the associated stresses of going to auction. Wendy also provided us with excellent contacts that we required in the process of buying a home, which is invaluable in a field of so many providers.

We would highly recommend Wendy as a buyer’s advocate when searching for a property in Melbourne, as she will save you time, money and many headaches throughout the process. Thank you Wendy for making the whole process as easy and as stress-free as possible!

Thanks Wendy!

She’s the real estate whisperer

“My Husband and I were first home buyers and we had been looking in the market for over 5 years, slowly losing hope, when we contacted Wendy. Under her guidance, it took under 3 weeks (the people whom had referred her to us, it took them 12 days!!!) to find us a house that we wanted. It was perfect and we loved it, and the best thing about it is my husband and I stopped arguing.

All I can say is that Wendy is the real estate whisperer. She gets it done, she knows the language that you need to speak, what you need to do and who you need to know. She has the passion and she absolutely delivers no confusion. If you want an honest answer, you will get it. This lady is amazing, my husband and I are not even sure she sleeps. If you are even thinking about taking the leap, use Wendy. The ride is worth it. I promise she will guide you through the entire process. In short, we now can say that we have stopped renting and are now putting our hard work into our own dream and not someone else’s. I never thought it would happen. Thank you Wendy, you’re amazing, you changed our lives”.

Allison & Daryl

She’s been so helpful

I really enjoyed working with Wendy. She’s been so helpful. She always returned calls and communicated and we had a great result today.

I was really pleased so, thanks tons. Thank you.

Danielle

Took away all the stress

Well, we are very, very happy. Thank you Wendy and Jo for referring us to you. You did a fantastic job. We’re so happy.

Thanks to Wendy for all her hard work in keeping us going and keeping us in touch with everything that’s going on and everything they did for us. Fantastic result!

Highly recommend it. We’ve put the feelers out, we’ve put the words out so definitely recommending them. Thanks guys, definitely appreciate it. We couldn’t have done it without you!

An outstanding job

So I met Wendy in 2016. October 2016 and we started on this journey trying to find my very first property.

So we looked at a number of properties and for whatever reason, unfortunately missed out on those. However, Wendy was able to find me an off-market opportunity.

I could not be more happy with my now first apartment. Wendy has done an outstanding job supporting me throughout this journey and working on her holidays, doing the very best she can to fight for me and even though my situation has changed several times, she has always stuck to the plan and really has delivered for me.

So thank you Wendy for helping me find my very first property.

Marina

A philosophy like no other agent

When we were first looking, we thought we would never be able to get a property that met our criteria. But then we spoke with Wendy and she found this property and we purchased it within 12 days.

So she was recommended to us by a number of people and when we engaged her, she had a philosophy like no other agent we’ve met. We worked with her. Within 12 days, we were in our property.

Thank you, Wendy.

    Ethical and professional   

John & I have previously worked with Wendy as a buyers advocate. The auction campaign for 13/26 Barnett Street, Kensington was the first time we’d worked with Wendy as a vendors advocate. During the 4-week campaign Wendy demonstrated that she is ethical, professional, a strong communicator and very good at what she does. The end result speaks for itself (3 bidders on auction day – selling well above reserve price) and I know the vendor is very pleased they appointed Wendy. Anybody looking for a buyer or vendor advocate should contact her today.

Offers a great service

I have to admit I had never heard of a vendors advocate when my broker recommended Wendy and her team but I’m so glad I contacted her. Wendy did all the hard work for me, she interviewed the agents and had the tough chats that I knew I wasn’t capable of. In the end we chose an amazing agent together, I was given all the facts about each agent and the associated fees and was able to make an informed decision.

Wendy and the team walked me through the process and Wendy calmed my nerves every time I got a little frazzled. Auction day was a blur and I was so thankful to have Wendy’s support and guidance.

Wendy offers a great service but its more than that, they’re awesome people to deal with and so genuine. I would have no hesitation recommending them to my friends or using them again.

Kel Rudd

Prompt action

We didn’t really know what to expect having a Buyers Advocate assist us with purchasing our first home.

In reflection now, I know we would have lost the property we were looking at if not for Wendy’s prompt action. Within a week, we had our property.

Wendy was able to guide us through the minefield of buying a property and was always on hand for all our questions. We will certainly be using her service again when it comes to buying our second property.

I don’t give praise lightly but credit where it is always due. Thanks Wendy for all the advice and support.

Rohan and Kate Chalmers

Ethical and professional conduct

It’s been a great experience working with you. The thing impressed us most and still lasts until now is your ethical and professional conduct. Because of it, we trusted your independence throughout the whole sale campaign.

Communication is your second best quality. We were truly happy with speedy updates and honest recommendations. We’ve got an outstanding result which has set a new benchmark in our street.

In a cloudy industry like real estate, you stand out as a navigator upon which home owners like us could rely. I truly believe if you continue to uphold the code of conduct, a flourishing success is certain. We wish you two all the best in the future and please keep on the good work.

Kind regards,
Joe Lieu

Walked us through all the processes

My wife and I employed the services from Wendy and couldn’t be happier with the service, patience and outcome we received.

The communication was outstanding, which is essential when you’re dealing with such large investments. We really felt like Wendy cared and had our best interests at heart at all stages through the process. I would (and already have) recommended Wendy’s services.

Thanks a million, Wendy. You are awesome.

James & Kerri Gregory

Fantastic support

We’re first home buyers and were feeling quite intimidated and nervous about entering into the property market but Wendy has been a fantastic support and I would thoroughly recommend her services.

Mel Irwin

Provided an awesome service

We decided to use a buyers advocate because we are time poor. Wendy has been awesome.

Once we briefed her she found and purchased a property for us within 12 days. There is no way we would have found and purchased a property that quickly ourselves. We also managed to get an offer in and stop the auction. A few weeks down the track and we can already see that we have saved around $30K by having Wendy negotiate for us.

Wendy was professional, efficient, listened to our needs and provided an awesome service. I highly recommend Wendy and her team. Thanks so much Wendy.

Ian Smith

It’s about what fits for you

I decided at the beginning of my journey to partner with an expert like Wendy. Wendy understood that it wasn’t about the next house to buy but about the one that felt like my home!

I just purchased a property at Dickinson Street with the help of Wendy. Fantastic process, really short with all things considered and at a fantastic price.

The thing I most enjoyed about working with the complete team is that it’s not about the house or property, it’s about what fits for you. Thank you guys. Much appreciated. I would recommend using you to anyone!

Kylie

Did a wonderful job

We are happy new home buyers and homeowners. We bought this beautiful property in Oak Park and we would like to say thank you, a huge thank you to Wendy. She helped us from the get go, she’s been right with us the all way, rocking this all the way, she helped us with some massive decisions that we’ve had found it to hard to make or it’s too difficult for us to make and that is why where Wendy stepped in and taken that brunt of the load for us, part of the process for us, she bidded for us. She did a wonderful job and the end result is that we’re really, really happy and we’ve got a wonderful property.

So thank you Wendy , you were awesome.

Ben & Eleanora

The whole process is so easy

Initially, I spent months on housing hunting and got blamed from my partner for “Nothing has been achieved”.

After I got in touch with Wendy, she found a house for us through private sale within 7 days in a very nice location we thought we couldn’t afford. The whole process from house hunting to settlement is so easy as they promised. I should’ve done this earlier. The fees Wendy and her team charge are much lower than the money they can save for you. Not only that, broker, solicitor, building inspector…. the whole package is ready. Also, our new neighbor even said we bought the house at a very low price. Thanks to Wendy.

I strongly recommend the services Wendy provides. “WE MAKE IT EASY” should be “WE MAKE IT D*** EASY” though.

Jonathan & Ran

Achieved terrific outcomes

I am a mortgage broker and have referred clients to Wendy and she has achieved terrific outcomes for my clients! They just sold over the weekend and got an incredible result! Great work!

Made the whole process smooth and easy

We are so happy we made the decision to use Wendy to help us find a home. After looking for years, and feeling frustrated and overwhelmed by the prospect of buying a property – with Wendy we had purchased a house within 9 days!

Wendy made the whole process smooth and easy, she found us an off market property and managed the whole process from start to finish.

Highly recommend using Wendy!

Adriane Hayward, 2016

Great communicator and professional

The best decision I made when looking at purchasing a property was having Wendy on my side. She is friendly, a great communicator, professional and made the whole experience less daunting.

As a first home buyer I was overwhelmed at the whole buying process and Wendy put my mind at ease. With her experience and expertise, Wendy made the whole process less daunting and got me a great result with my first property purchase, I couldn’t have done it without her.

If you are unsure or need help purchasing a property, I highly recommend Wendy.

Kind regards,
Candece

Comprehensive service and experienced negotiator

I had an excellent experience with Wendy. The service and support she provides is comprehensive and invaluable when considering something as important as purchasing a house.

Wendy was both diligent and friendly, and a wonderful advocate when it came to negotiating with vendors and real estate agents. You can really tell how much experience she has in the field, and I knew I was in safe hands. I would absolutely recommend Wendy to anybody looking to purchase a property!

Rosie Angliss

Invaluable assistance as our advocate

As first-time buyers who are based overseas, we had many questions and Wendy helped us through each step of the process.

She provided invaluable assistance as our advocate, providing insights into location and the market as well as linking us with contacts to smooth our path.

She was then able to help us secure a property off-the-market at a competitive price, saving us the trials of further auctions and money.

Fantastic, fast acting and far more affordable service

After seeking to buy my first home for several months, I was recommended to utilise Wendy services.

Upon initial contact, it became quickly apparent that Wendy’s knowledge base and high level of professionalism would be of great assistance to me. Within 2 weeks Wendy had helped me find and buy my perfect first home, for 10’s of thousands of dollars cheaper than similar auctioned properties in the area.

Wendy’s service was fantastic, fast acting, and far more affordable than other buyer’s advocates in the market. I’d highly recommend Wendy’s services to anyone looking to break into this difficult market here in Melbourne, her services are invaluable.

First home purchased in just one week

I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to Wendy Chamberlain for assisting, guiding and supporting throughout the process of finding my first home.

At the beginning I spent a week searching for my first home and realized this was really hard for an inexperienced first home buyer. But after I met Wendy for our first meeting, it was over an hour and Wendy totally understood my situations.

With a small budget, but many expectations. Due to my budget, I had never thought that I could live in a nice Melbourne inner suburb. First I was looking at all over the places and could not make decision where I wanted to live which would make Wendy worked more difficult. But Wendy didn’t mind and was very patient. We finally found some properties that I liked and Wendy did all the works for me i.e. talked to the agents, arranged the inspections and came to the properties with me.

I finally found my first home which met most of my expectations and at a very nice location. It happened in just a week. I would not hesitate to recommend Wendy to friends and others.
