Selling your home is a big deal. It’s not just about open inspections and contracts — it’s about moving forward in life. Maybe your kids have moved out. Maybe you’re upsizing. Or maybe it’s simply time for a fresh start.
Whatever the reason, it matters. And so does the person you choose to walk that journey with you.
At Lewin Real Estate, we’ve helped hundreds of Cheltenham, Beaumaris, and Bayside families through this exact moment. We understand the excitement, the nerves, and the big questions that come with selling. That’s why we’ve created this honest guide to help you choose the right real estate agent — not just the biggest name, but the right fit for you.
Look at What They’ve Done — and How They’ve Done It
When selling property in Cheltenham or the wider Bayside area, results matter. But it’s not just what an agent sells — it’s how they sell it.
Ask your potential agent:
- How long do your properties stay on the market?
- Do you often sell above asking price?
- Where will my home be advertised?
At Lewin Real Estate, we’re proud of our sales record — but even prouder of how we achieve it. We combine smart strategy with genuine care. No fluff, no pushy tactics — just real conversations, thoughtful marketing, and skilled negotiation.
Ask How They’ll Present Your Home
First impressions are everything — especially online. Your home deserves to shine across realestate.com.au, Domain, and social media.
Ask:
- Will you organise professional photography and video?
- Can you assist with styling and presentation tips?
- How do you target buyers online?
At Lewin Real Estate, we create tailored property marketing campaigns that highlight your home’s unique story. Every listing receives personal attention and premium presentation to attract the right buyers.
Make Sure They Communicate Like a Human
Selling a home can feel stressful — but the right agent makes all the difference. Choose someone who keeps you informed and never leaves you wondering what’s happening.
Ask:
- How often will I receive updates during the campaign?
- Will you be honest with feedback, even if it’s tough to hear?
Our team believes in clear, respectful, and transparent communication. We keep you in the loop, talk openly about buyer feedback, and adjust strategies quickly when needed. You’ll always know exactly where your sale stands.
Understand the Fees — and the Value
It’s completely okay — and smart — to ask about fees. But remember, the cheapest agent may not achieve the highest sale price.
Ask:
- What’s your commission and marketing structure?
- Are there upfront or hidden fees?
At Lewin Real Estate, we’re transparent from day one. We’ll outline all costs clearly and work with you to design a campaign that fits your goals and budget — without cutting corners.
Trust What Other People Are Saying
Before choosing your agent, take time to read reviews, testimonials, and local success stories.
At Lewin Real Estate, we don’t just sell houses — we build lasting relationships. Many of our clients return years later or refer friends and family. That ongoing trust is our greatest reward.
And Honestly? Go With Your Gut
You’ll know when it feels right. Choose someone who listens, someone you feel comfortable with, and someone who genuinely wants the best result for you — not just the sale.
We often tell sellers: this is your journey. We’re simply here to guide it — with care, strategy, and heart.
From Our Family to Yours…
At Lewin Real Estate, we’re proud locals. We live, work, and raise our families right here in Bayside Melbourne. You’re not just a client — you’re a neighbour. And we want you to feel supported every step of the way.
