Downsizing your property but upsizing your life
Selling and Buying your home the Smart WayYou’ve made a lifetime of memories in your family home and its now time to begin the daunting but exciting task of selling and buying a new home ready for the next stage of life. Or maybe you have enjoyed living in a larger property but now just want the ease of living in a low-maintenance home that doesn’t sacrifice on lifestyle.
Selling or buying a home can be one of the most emotional and time-consuming processes in life. That’s because your home is more than just a transaction or asset. You are saying goodbye to memories and finding the perfect place to make new ones. It can take an extraordinary amount of time and money and create significant stress and for some people is something they haven’t done in 25 to 50 years!
That’s where National Property Buyers can help.
We are a team of buyer and vendor advocates and can assist no matter where you are in your property journey; selling, buying or both.
Our team of advocates have decades of experience and a huge passion for the residential property market. We have an enormous amount of knowledge across the entire Melbourne metropolitan area, including the Mornington and Bellarine Peninsulas. We will assist and guide you through every stage of the complex selling or buying process, ensuring your best interests are represented and protected at all times.

We don’t like the term downsizing. Yes, it aptly describes downsizing your property but we like to think of it as upsizing your lifestyle.
You might be seeking a smaller property with less maintenance but location, community, and quality are still of high importance or maybe you want to boost your retirement funds with any windfall between the sale price of your current property with a smaller purchase. There really is no one fit all to downsizing, everyone has different priorities based on their goals however there are some really common questions that people need answers to get the best outcome for them:
Where do I start, I haven't bought a house in 25/50 years?
Should I buy before I sell?
What sort of property and location will achieve my lifestyle and finance goals?
What are the right people I need around me to support me in this process?
How can I find off-market or pre-listing properties?
How do I determine how much a property is worth?
How do I negotiate the best price and settlement terms that suit me?
How do I line up all my settlement dates and finances so that I am covered?
Will buying a property effect my pension?
We can answer all these questions and help you buy your ideal property, under the best conditions for the lowest possible price through our Buyer Advocacy services. We tailor our services to your needs and can provide a one-stop shop for those that need it by referring mortgage brokers, solicitors, building and pest inspectors, and more.
Our services are built around 3 main steps for simplicity – searching, assessing, and negotiating. Below are our key offerings coupled with our transparent, competitive “fee for service” pricing structure. If you would like further information review our detailed buying page here.

Auction Bidding &
Negotiate Only
starting at
$750 (+GST)
Negotiating with Sales Agents to get the best result for the buyer can be a challenging task, particularly for the inexperienced or out of practice. This low-cost service is for those uncomfortable with auctions, private sale negotiations or simply not available to attend on auction day.
Auction bidding or negotiate only fees are fixed upfront and only a small engagement fee is payable in advance. And only upon securing the property is the success fee paid.
This means it could be as little as $850 to have an expert represent you on the day.
I can honestly say the care, sensitivity, and ultimate perfect result I received with this company was second to none.
Once they were made aware of what was in my mind’s eye, I was sent many options. But following my feedback and reaction, the options were quickly streamlined, until, in a very short space of time, they suggested a place.
My perfect place. That easy.

“I have been selling and buying property for over 25 years but when it was my time to downsize I went through all the emotions my clients go through, however, I had experience on my side, I knew exactly what to do and who I needed to assist me.” Antony Bucello
