Selling your inner Melbourne property, done well.

A vendor-first approach to residential sales — strategic, well-presented, and focused on the result that matters to you.

Our approach

Selling is personal. Your agent should treat it that way.

Selling a property in inner Melbourne involves real decisions — timing, pricing, presentation, campaign strategy, and negotiation. Most vendors go through this process once or twice in their lives. The agency you choose has done it hundreds of times. That asymmetry matters, and we take it seriously.

At Oakstone, we work with a small number of vendors at any given time. That means your sale gets genuine attention — not a templated campaign rolled out to the next property on the list.

We combine local market knowledge with honest advice, strong presentation, and a negotiation style focused entirely on your outcome. No side deals, no conflicts of interest, no rushing you to close at the wrong price.

“The best result comes from preparation, not pressure.”

  • Honest appraisal — market value, not flattery
  • Tailored campaign strategy for your property type
  • Professional photography and copywriting included
  • REA and Domain listing management
  • Open for inspection coordination
  • Active buyer follow-up and qualification
  • Auction or private sale — whichever suits
  • Transparent communication throughout
The campaign

From appraisal to settlement.

01 Appraisal

We assess your property honestly — comparable sales, market conditions, and realistic expectations. No inflated number to win your listing.

02 Preparation

Styling advice, photography, floorplan, and copywriting. First impressions online drive inquiry volume — we get this right.

03 Campaign

REA and Domain listings, targeted digital exposure, opens, and direct outreach to qualified buyers in our network.

04 Negotiation

Active buyer follow-up and skilled negotiation. We work for your outcome — not the fastest close or the next commission.

05 Settlement

Contract management, solicitor coordination, and clear communication through to a smooth, stress-free settlement.

Why Oakstone for sales

What a boutique agency does differently.

No listing targets

We don’t have a monthly volume quota to fill. We take on sales we can do properly. That changes how we approach every conversation with a vendor.

Principal-led from start to finish

You’ll deal with the same person from appraisal through to settlement. No handoff to a junior agent mid-campaign when your property is live.

Honest pricing advice

We won’t quote you high to win the listing and condition you down later. We’d rather lose a listing than give advice we don’t stand behind.

Technology and presentation

AI-assisted copywriting, professional photography, and strong digital presence — boutique-quality marketing without the boutique agency price premium.

For investors

Ready to sell a managed property?

If you’re an existing Oakstone property management client, the transition from management to sale is seamless. We know your property, your tenancy history, and your investment goals. That context makes a real difference to how we position and sell your asset.

01
No gaps in knowledge

We already know your property inside out – condition, history, yield, tenant profile. No appraisal from scratch.

02
Tenancy coordination handled

We manage the transition with your tenants directly – access for photography, opens, and the notice process.

03
Timing advice you can trust

We’ll tell you honestly when the market favours selling and when it doesn’t. No pressure to list before you’re ready.

Common questions

Things vendors ask us.

What are your sales commission rates?

We discuss fees openly from the first conversation. Our rates reflect the quality of service and campaign we deliver. Contact us for a tailored proposal based on your property.

Auction or private sale — which is better?

It depends on your property type, market conditions, and your circumstances. We’ll give you an honest recommendation, not the method that suits the agency’s schedule.

How long does a typical campaign run?

Most inner Melbourne residential campaigns run four to six weeks from listing to sale. We’ll give you a realistic timeline based on current market conditions before you commit.

Do you cover marketing costs upfront?

Vendor-paid advertising is standard practice. We’ll provide a clear, itemised marketing budget as part of our proposal so there are no surprises.

Can you sell a tenanted property?

Yes. We manage tenanted sales regularly and handle all communication and access coordination with tenants professionally and in line with Victorian tenancy legislation.

Do you handle the legal side?

We coordinate closely with your conveyancer or solicitor but don’t provide legal advice. We can refer you to trusted professionals if you need them.
