Richard Wilkins $600,000 Mosman investment acquisition triggers high praise for Robert Klaric

The prominent Sydney estate agents Robert and Leonie Klaric have established an independent property advisory service.

The duo established Klaric Partners in 1997 and in 2011 undertook its successful merger with McGrath Estate Agents.

They hope their new independent property advisory service will offer “one to one” advice for their past clientele as well as expanding their professional property services throughout the world.

The Klarics expect to assist as both vendor advocates and negotiate for buyers, though not in the same transaction.

He will advise clients on finding the right agent, as well as assisting buyers who have seen a property they wish to buy but can't get a beneficially negotiated price.

"A bit like a property bodyguard," Mr Klaric told Property Observer.

"I am able to step in and negotiate when buyers or sellers fear being mishandled.

"We will be negotiating advocates under the moniker: The Property Expert International."

Robert Klaric commenced in real estate in 1987. 

He says choosing an agency to represent sellers can become a very long, stressful and drawn out process.

He says he will also negotiate "a fair and reasonable selling fee "with the selected agency .

He expects the selected agent will remunerate Klaric by way of an introduction fee on the settlement day on the sale of the property.

"It is now a common real estate industry practice for one real estate professional to pay another professional real estate agent a referral fee or share part of the commission when they are recommended for the sale of the property or to another client," he said.

Already the agency has secured acquisitions for high profile buyers.

Last month Richard Wilkins from the Channel 9 Today Show secured an investment property at Mosman. 

The Moruben Road property cost $600,000 using Klaric's advisory service through David Gillian of Ray White LNS, and then available for rent at $580 a week through Ray White's Nicholas Yates.

Wilkins has written a testimonial on Klaric's website saying the attention to detail, research and negotiation skills used to secure the property on my behalf was simply exceptional.

"I believe you saved me well over $20,000 on our first venture... the first of many I hope," said Wilkins, the network entertainment editor at Nine Network Australia.
