CASE STUDIES
Case Study One:
A corporate relocation from Perth where residential property prices had boomed on the back of the mining industry. Soon after arriving on the Peninsula, a couple inspected a property that had been considerably overpriced by unrealistic vendors. The couple had first seen this particular property on the internet and had no understanding of the inferior location of the home within the suburb. Blinded by the makeover of the property and with their West Australian real estate caps on, the couple paid conservatively $80,000 over the price the market had indicated the property to be worth.
Case Study Two:
A family arrived from another major Australian city and inspected a property that had been on the market for some time. The property had done the rounds of a number of agencies and the vendors’ expectations were quite overinflated. The couple failed to conduct the requisite due diligence including the length of time the property had been on the market. He also failed to apply local market knowledge to the property. In failing to properly research this particularly difficult market, the couple gave the vendors and the sales agent a brilliant result and cost himself conservatively $45,000.
In each of these cases, the cost benefit in retaining the services of a skilled, knowledgeable and well networked advocate is clear.
TESTIMONIALS
To whom it may concern,
Scott Roberts from MPBA assisted my wife and I in the purchase of our home in Mt Eliza recently.
I would like to say that Scott was absolutely professional in his approach to our purchase and he continually provided us with feedback. It was a pleasure dealing with him and I know for a fact that his negotiation skills saved us at least $20,000. Perhaps more importantly was the pressure his services took off us.
I have no hesitation in recommending his services.

RE: Scott Roberts MPBA
When we first met Scott, we were very specific in what we were looking for in a new home and indicated our preference not to be bothered with anything other than our exact specifications. Prior to this we had been looking through two other agencies for two months. Within two weeks of contacting Scott we got a call indicating he had a property to our exact specifications. We made an appointment to inspect and ended up purchasing at a mutually agreed price. The house was exactly what we were looking for and through Scott we were able to negotiate with the vendors to bring settlement forward. The transaction went very smoothly and we were extremely happy with our purchase. Scott provided us with excellent service and displayed true professional etiquette.
My wife and I would not hesitate to recommend Scott Roberts to anyone seeking to purchase a property. We guarantee you will not be disappointed in your selection. If it is the same as our experience then it will be very satisfying.

To Whom It May Concern Regarding MPBA
We would like to express our thanks to Scott Roberts of Mornington Peninsula Buyers Advocate for his efforts to buy our new investment property.
We had only been with the MPBA for two weeks before Scott found our property. This is the first time we have used an agent to buy and his local knowledge helped tremendously.
He asked lots and lots of questions about what we wanted and was very patient when my wife and I couldn’t agree on some things! When it came time to negotiate he played it cool and was able to read the situation perfectly, a very good quality for an estate agent to have. We really appreciated Scott’s professionalism and at the same time friendliness and empathy to us during a time that we may otherwise have found quite stressful.
Even after the sale had been completed, Scott was doing his best to smooth out the details. One could say that the after sales service was exceptional by Scott and MPBA.
As a result we have no hesitation in recommending Scott and MPBA to anyone wishing to buy on the peninsula.
