Street Advocate

We reached out to Peter on advice from one of our friends after we mentioned we were wanting to sell. We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Peter. From day one, he was incredibly friendly, professional, and approachable. He was always honest and transparent, clearly explaining the process, setting realistic expectations, and making… Read more

sure we understood every step along the way. Peter's guidance, expertise, and commitment gave us complete confidence throughout the campaign. He was there whenever we needed him, providing support and advice from start to finish. Under his direction along with our selected realestate agent, our campaign achieved an outstanding outcome, and we couldn't be happier with the results. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares, communicates exceptionally well, and delivers outstanding results, we highly recommend Peter.

Thank you Peter for the care and patience throughout this process . You took time to understand our situation and cared for how our mother’s estate was taken care of. We deeply appreciate holding our hands through a deeply emotional period of our lives. We are grateful that things have been completed with you guiding us through this process- Fiona , Cameron & Brenda Show reply

and keeps you moving so the sale happens. He helps you find a real estate agent, and does the project management on getting your roperty ready quickly. We painted, recarpeted, and did a few touch ups. Peter even did some of it himself. He works incredibly hard. He is a delight to have on your team, and I got a great result. I strongly recommend him.

Being familiar with Peter’s exceptional knowledge of the real estate market, strategic negotiation skills and exemplary customer service, we did not hesitate to ask him to manage the sale of a second property. We were not disappointed; the result exceeded our expectations. Preparing and selling a property can be very stressful and difficult. … Read more

That has not been our experience with Peter.

Peter’s genuine care and commitment to achieve the best result for his clients, is consistently evident as he guides you through the process; to prepare the property, select the selling agent, ensure the marketing plan is appropriate, to negotiating and finalising the sale of the property.

As a hands-on advocate he always keeps you informed, as he engages with the service providers and makes regular visits to the property to monitor progress. It is very easy to discuss any aspect of the process with Peter, who welcomes your enquiries.

We strongly recommend you call Peter, to learn how you can engage his services at no extra cost the next time you want to sell a property.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 Stars) We cannot speak highly enough of Peter and the team at Street Advocate in Melbourne for their outstanding service in selling our properties. Having successfully sold three properties with them previously, we recently entrusted Peter with the sale of our fourth property, and once again, the results exceeded our expectations.… Read more ·  1

Their expertise, professionalism, and dedication make them the go-to choice for anyone looking to sell property in Melbourne.

From the moment we engaged Street Advocate, Peter demonstrated an unparalleled commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. His deep knowledge of the Melbourne property market, combined with a strategic approach to marketing, ensured our property stood out to the right buyers. Peter’s tailored advice on presentation and pricing was spot-on, resulting in a seamless sale process and a fantastic price that we couldn’t be happier with.

What sets Street Advocate apart is their exceptional communication and personalized service. Peter kept us informed at every step, providing clear updates and expert guidance that made the entire process stress-free. His attention to detail, from coordinating stunning property photography to communicating buyer inquiries, was impeccable. He truly went above and beyond, treating our property as if it were his own.

Peter’s negotiation skills are second to none. He worked tirelessly to secure the best deal, and his ability to connect with agents while advocating fiercely on our behalf was instrumental in achieving such a great result. This is the fourth time we’ve worked with Street Advocate, and each experience has been consistently outstanding, reinforcing our trust in their ability to deliver.

Beyond the results, it’s Peter’s genuine care and professionalism that make the difference. He’s approachable, reliable, and genuinely invested in his clients’ success. Selling a property can be daunting, but with Peter and Street Advocate, we felt supported and confident throughout.

So glad we chose Peter – We recently used Peter for the sale of our property in Watsonia Victoria. From our very first meeting Peter struck us as being incredibly knowledgeable and professional. On our initial meeting he ran us through the process and gave excellent advice to prepare the property with no pressure to commit to using his services thereafter. We both… Read more ·  1

really appreciated his excellent communication skills and as far as I'm concerned really sets him aside from everyone else.

We both felt that he would be an invaluable tool to use through the sale process so we decided to run with him and we were not disappointed because he vetted the potential agents well. Can gladly say I would have been tearing my hair out with some of the potential agents attitudes but that's what we use Peter for and he definitely delivered. Further to that his attention to detail down to the photos and minor items that would capture potential buyers really impressed me.

Once the agent and method of sale was selected Peter kept in regular contact via telephone and very promptly returned any of our phone calls. Throughout the entire campaign he was pursuing information from the agent and relaying it back to us.

I could go on but the bottom line is that by choosing Peter and following his advice we achieved a sale in 15 days at a price that really really surprised me.

Definitely would use Peter again and have no qualms in recommending him.

Peter assisted my family to sell our mother's house with an excellent result in a short time frame that she, and we, were very happy with. His advice on house preparation and liaison with the real estate agent eased the load for my sisters and me for which we are very grateful. The regular communication and updates meant we felt part of the… Read more

process and expertly guided through territory that is unfamiliar to us. This is the third time that Peter has assisted family members with house sales, and we would want to use his advice and skills in the future if the need arose. I recommend the services of Street Advocate without hesitation. I think this is the one time in my life where the phrase "it sounds too good to be true" can be justified with "it really is true"!

Following an initial unsuccessful campaign and auction, we were recommended to use Peter Sarmas, a very experienced vendor’s advocate, to achieve a positive sale of our Heritage Listed property. Hesitant at the thought of more expense, we were pleased to find that Peter’s fees are paid by the agent and not the vendor. His wealth of expertise was… Read more

invaluable.

Peter handled all the complexity with calm professionalism. He screened, assessed, and ultimately selected the right agent for the campaign, and genuinely worked with all parties as a team throughout the process. His communication was superb at every stage — clear, timely, and always in our best interests.

We felt supported the whole way, and his guidance made a challenging sale so much easier to navigate.

We highly recommend Peter for anyone wanting a dedicated, knowledgeable vendor’s advocate who achieves excellent and the desired results.

Once again, Peter’s advice helped me achieve results that far exceeded my hope. His knowledge and guidance are truly invaluable. Having known him for several years, I trust his expertise completely. His support with my properties over the years has significantly strengthened my financial position.

I cannot rate Peter highly enough. Peter is the most thorough vendor advocate I have met. He goes 110% above what i have seen other advocates do. His due diligence on my sale was far above my expectations and every query and every detail was attended to. He worked very hard to ensure that i achieved the best possbile result. His caring and… Read more

compassonate nature shone through and pushed me along when i needed pushing so that i could achieve the best possbile result at my auction yesterday. I can't thank you enough, Peter and look foward to working with you in the future.

This is my second review. As mentioned, last time, I wouldn't hesitate to re-engage Peter and he has just helped me sell a second property (a deceased estate). Again the service was fantastic. Particularly this time, he engaged an excellent agent (the best in the business for the area), negotiated a very fair commission, and provided suggestions… Read more ·  1

that enhanced the marketing campaign and negotiation process. We achieved a result better than we expected, and the buyer was also very happy. As before, the communication was next level and everything ran as smooth as silk. I am very happy to recommend Peter and Street Advocate.

Peter was recommended to us by a friend who had used his services so had explained his thorough processes. He is extremely knowledgeable, gave us advice on how to spruce up the house and kept in touch every step of the way. He did not try to 'oversell' and everything surpassed his predictions. It certainly took the stress out of what could have been a very stressful experience. His expertise is very much appreciated.

Our family engaged Peter to assist with the sale of our family home of almost 60 years. Having Peter advocate independent of the family prevented disagreements among us and allowed us to remove ourselves from the emotion of the sale. We relied on his expertise and attention to detail to manage the process in the weeks leading up to the sale,… Read more ·  1

including making the agents accountable, and on auction day to give us the best chance of a great result. We would recommend engaging Peter as there is no additional cost to the vendor so you have everything to gain!

Professional, reliable & with you all the way – Peter was very professional and had a clear idea on strategy. He always consulted with us on every decision and provided his advice. It was important for us to have a clear idea in the money we would need to spend to yield good results. So it was comforting to see that the estimate he had at the beginning to prepare our property for sale was… Read more

indeed accurate.

He has strong connections with the teams he’s worked with and we would not have been able to complete the works prior Xmas if this was not the case. Timing is essential when it comes to selling property so we cannot take that credit from him.

The auction was a success and again, he was there all the way and after. Thank you for your hard work, your advice and it was a great experience. We will definitely come back to you in future and recommend anyone else who may need your services.

Excellent service and fast result – Selling a deceased family member’s house was potentially a stressful process for two reasons. Firstly we live in regional Victoria and the house was in Melbourne. Secondly the house was in a somewhat tired condition and decisions were needed as whether to renovate before placing the house on the market. Peter Sarmas provided helpful and… Read more ·  1

knowledgeable advice to us before and during the sale process. He always kept us informed on potential buyers and selling possibilities. The house sold above the reserve price, with a very short settlement time and before auction – which we were happy to accept. Thanks to Peter and his recommended estate agent, it turned out to be a stress-free experience. We would be more than happy to recommend Peter as vendor advocate to anyone considering selling their property.

Excellent worry-free service – Peter provided excellent guidance and took the stress out of selling my property from afar. I recommend his services to make the process easy and worry-free.

Outstanding experience – We couldn't have been more impressed with the overall service Peter provided to us as our Vendor Advocate. From the 1st time we met him, he went that extra mile. He's attention to detail was 1st class, and he took all the stress out of selling our family home. We had the house on the market for 60 days with an Agent and it didnt sell, so we took… Read more

it off the market for a few months and thats when we met Peter. Once we engaged Peter, we felt a real peace that this time things were going to work out well. The house sold in just over 2 weeks. We recommend Peter very highly to anyone looking to sell their Home. Regards Linton & Donna

Peter selected the… Read more ·  1

best agent in the area and managed the full experience between agent and myself. I have no hesitation in recommending Peter, he delivered an awesome experience and will definitely be using his services again.

Deb&TOH – First time we have sold a property in a very long time and unfortunately was a deceased family members house. Peter is very knowledgeable and helped me through a difficult time and process. I didn't deal directly with the real estate agents and Peter guided me through the selection of the right agent to sell our family property. Would definitely recommend Peter to help and not have the stress with dealing with the sale. Show reply

Great service – I used Peter for the first time and definitely would again - very easy to work with and had a lot of helpful knowledge which resulted in a great sale. He dealt with some last minute issues very effectively and I'd highly recommend him. Show reply

Exemplary Service !!! – Peter from Street Advocate was outstanding & I can't say enough about his assistance selling our property. He has fabulous contacts to help make any of your needs 'happen' & his expertise, knowledge & communication went above & beyond our expectations. I'd definitely recommend him to assist with buying or selling a property...you'd never go wrong. Thanks for everything Peter as you were amazing.

Trusted professional – Peter from Street Advocate was a great help in selling our family property. There was a lot of complexity in the set up of the residential and commercial property. At every step Peter was there to provide professional guidance and was easily accessible when I had questions. The result was a successful sale that exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend Peter.

The best decision I’ve ever made for this process – The best decision I ever made was to engage with Peter from Street Advocate to assist me in the sale of my late mothers house. He was nothing short of professional knowledgeable open and honest and truly went above and beyond. I couldn’t recommend him enough and will be telling anyone who will listen who is selling a property to strongly consider his services.

a contributing factor to our fantastic end result. From start to finish Peter was always available and attentive to our needs and provided excellent advice on the timing of when to put the property on the market, presentation of the property along with a quick turn around to get it on the market. I will certainly not hesitate to engage Peters services again when selling future properties, not only did Peter provide us with prompt and attentive service the overall cost to engage Street Advocate as our Sellers Advocate cost us no more than the negotiated Real Estate agents commission.

Thanks Again Peter Sarmas, Street Advocate

Amazing service by Peter Sarmas – We recently engaged Peter Sarmas from Street Advocate to help us sell our rental property in Melbourne. Peter interviewed three agents, and helped us select one. Peter strongly recommended doing some basic renovations to the property, even though some of the agents were doubtful. Peter then did an amazing job in organising trades to renovate… Read more

the old weatherboard home in just 10 days, including repainting the inside of the house, landscaping the neglected garden, putting up a rear fence, and staging the property with a furniture stylist. The house and garden were transformed. We went to auction in just four weeks, and it sold for well above our reserve price. We were blown away. The renovation was worth every penny, and we really appreciate Peter’s sound advice. We live in regional Victoria, and Peter handled everything for us in Melbourne. I was very surprised at how stress free the whole process was. Peter’s services did not cost us any extra, as his fees are part of the negotiated fees paid to the agent. We highly recommend the services of Peter Sarmas at Street Advocate, for anyone who is thinking of selling their property.

Simply The Best – We’ve been fortunate enough to have had a long association with Peter Sarmas from Street Advocate. We purchased our first home from him over 20 years ago and recently engaged his services for the sale of an investment property in Mill Park. There was a lot of emotion involved in the sale of this home as it has been in our family for over 23 years.… Read more

In a market that is unpredictable and likely the fastest changing in recent history, we felt that we couldn’t have made a better decision than to choose Peter for support and advice through this daunting process. Peter, his team and their network of trades / services, genuinely exceeded expectations at every step of the process. Services provided (including painting, styling) were ultra professional, prompt, provided unbelievable value (half of what we’d been quoted by my recommended providers), and was all delivered with care, pride and without fuss. We can’t thank Peter enough for taking us under his guidance through this journey. The sale of the property was always going to help us move forward & have a bit of a win. But the result he achieved for us on Saturday was beyond anything we could’ve ever imagined and is life changing. As we get older & based on some of our life experiences, we’ve found that it’s hard to find genuine individuals. Peter is one of those rare gems and we’ll forever be grateful for his selfless investment in us.

Extraordinary service – Engaging Peter from Street Advocate Vendor Advocacy was the best decision I made in the process of selling my house. At all times, Peter understood the stress of the selling process. And it was Peter's qualities - his knowledge and experience of the real estate industry, his thoroughness, hard work, empathy and unbelievable attention to detail,… Read more ·  1

and his dealing with the real estate agents that in fact reduced that stress. And most importantly, he maximized the sale price of my home (with an amazing result that was beyond my wildest dreams), in circumstances where I had not been able to sell the house a few years earlier with a reputable agency. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who wants a great price for their home and a manageable selling process.
