Aspire Advocates are Buyer Advocates, Vendor Advocates and Negotiation Advocates. We specialise in achieving property aspirations throughout Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula.

We couldn’t have been more impressed with the amazing experience we had with Nicholas at Aspire Advocates. Not only was Nick such a great guy to go on our house buying journey with, but he always had our best interest at heart.

He was extremely professional and passionate about finding us our dream home but more importantly he almost knew what we wanted and needed in a house and suburb more than we did.

We would never have found such a great off market property at the price we did without Nick and his contacts.

My sister and I gave Nicholas Morrison a seemingly impossible brief – two houses beside each other on separate titles, one bigger than the other, north facing backyards, different budgets and tastes, a limited selection of suburbs – the list went on and on.

He was not daunted by our request but said, quite reasonably, that it might take up to twelve months. We were prepared to wait. What we weren’t prepared for was the property tour one week later when he showed us the perfect homes.

Nicholas had managed to find two properties that were off the market but fitted our brief exactly. Thanks to his efforts, we are now happy owners of homes we will love for many years to come.

Nicholas Morrison offers excellent service. As well as finding what we wanted so quickly, he has offered a level of service that cannot be faulted. He was there every step of the way as we negotiated to buy the homes and I sold my own property. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

We are incredibly happy with our new home. We will be extremely happy there in all aspects of our lives – the house itself, location and proximity to our family, support network and the girls’ school, and to Kent’s work and public transport.

It wouldn’t have been a possibility without the help from the Aspire Team. We are truly grateful for Aspire Advocates exceeding our expectations in such a short amount of time.

Aspire has made our dreams a reality and we are incredibly grateful to the team for delivering such great results!

I cannot recommend Aspire highly enough.

Nicholas helped me through every step of the difficult process of buying property and provided advice and support at the critical times. I would not consider purchasing property without Aspire.

We set Nicholas and Aspire the seemingly impossible challenge of finding us a family home within 8 weeks, in a highly competitive market with very little supply. Before we’d even officially signed up, Nick in good faith took the step of showing us through an off-market property that he felt could be just right for us.

He was right and sure enough we moved into the property within our deadline.

Without Nick there is no way we would be happily settled into our lovely home. Nick helped make a highly stressful process much more bearable – he was our advisor, our advocate and our voice of reason. We would highly recommend Nick and his team.

Nicholas and the Aspire team spent months finding my family and me a beautiful property.

There are many twists and curves in the home buying process; in addition we had an extremely unique brief. The Aspire team worked tirelessly to find our special property.

Importantly, Aspire were more interested in our genuine happiness with the house we purchased rather than making another transaction.

Thank you again for your integrity and efforts Aspire.

Nicholas came highly recommended by my finance broker.

I felt understood, supported and well advised, selling and buying in a challenging market. Aspire’s honesty and frank insights have helped me to gain a clear idea of what my expectations should be. Their respectful and extensive rapport with the estate agents, created a comfortable working relationship for us all. It has been a pleasure to work with the Aspire team and I would highly recommend them.

We had never had the support of buyers’ advocates previously, didn’t know what to expect, and were perhaps even a bit sceptical. But it’s turned out to be a wonderful experience.

Nicholas was responsive, reassuring, and persistent. Aspire kept at it, even strayed from our preferred suburbs to identify something that worked for us, that was a notch above other properties we’d seen. And Nick, rather than trying to wrap things up quickly, kept reassuring us to wait for the right property at the right price, which would come sooner or later.

It couldn’t have been easy to hold your nerve in the midst of this wildly escalating real estate market. Well done and thank you!

We challenged the Aspire team with something that appeared on the surface, to be an impossible challenge. This brought challenges for all of us to overcome, adapt and work around, but in the end we have found our dream home.

Aspire were there to navigate that journey, expertly negotiating on our behalf and delivered an outstanding result in super quick time, as is often required with off market property.

I have to thank them dearly for all the work they put in.

We engaged Aspire Advocates to purchase the perfect home, and we are extremely happy with the outcome. Nicholas Morrison was helpful as both a property market expert, and a professional negotiator.

Nick provided us with quality information that we would never otherwise have access to, allowing us to make objective and evidence based decisions on the value of our purchase. And Nick was able to handle the vendor in all the right ways – friendliness when it was needed, and firmness when it counted.

If we’d tried to negotiate our offer directly with the vendor, I’m confident it would have been rejected. But Nick was able to handle everything in just the right way, and now we own the home we’ll be living in the rest of our lives.

I have worked with Nicholas Morrison, Buyer’s Advocate from Aspire for the last 6 years and I cannot sing his praises highly enough.

Buying property is Nick’s job day in and day out and he is exceptional at it.

My client’s rave about Nick and to be honest, if they don’t use a buyer’s advocate at all, there’s only a 50% of them buying. With Nick, it’s more like 99%… which means happy clients!

Thank you so much for your advice, judgement, strategy, enablement and encouragement throughout the acquisition process.  Had I been left to my own devices; I would not have attended the auction and then would have kicked myself when it sold for the price it was passed in at!

John and the team at Aspire have been our saviours. After 6-8months of looking we were despondent, every property we looked at was flying past the reserve and into the territory of poor value for our young family. I knew I needed professional help, so my mortgage broker recommended Aspire.

In a tough market their network of real-estate agents, local knowledge and experience found us the off-market properties we were looking for. They even helped us back away from some that went past the point of good buying.

Strategy planning and assistance calculating true value was priceless expertise in a hot seller’s market. Amazing result that we would never have found or negotiated without them. Thanks John and Nick for your tireless work, constant availability and help finding our dream family home. Such a positive impact on our life, highly recommend Aspire to all.

Reliable, trustworthy, and relentlessly professional.

My wife and I were searching for a house to purchase and really tried to look at everything up for sale, getting confused and nowhere, and seeing very little that suited us.

We had a chance meeting with John Gibbens from Aspire Advocates at an open house one Saturday and chatted about our predicament.

John worked with Aspire Advocates and suggested that he might be able to help.

After we explained what we were after John found half a dozen or so houses that were very close to what we were after and finally one that we actually purchased.

John then went about negotiating a purchase price very acceptable to us and since then has been assisting in ensuring money is moving in the right direction and at the right time.

I would recommend Aspire Advocates and in particular John Gibbens to any one purchasing a house and is wondering if out of the one hundred or so they have looked at will they ever find the right one.

As a couple we gave John a pretty tough brief, he was up for the challenge from the get go. John’s knowledge, passion for his job and sheer determination helped us purchase the beach house we were looking for. It ticked all of the boxes.

John was always so prompt and attentive to our questions and queries, he always steered us in the right direction with his advice and thorough attention to detail. John is such an asset to the Aspire team,we highly recommend John as an advocate and look forward to working with him again in the future.

Thanks to my long-time fin planner Scott Mitton, Horizons Wealth connected me to Nicholas, Aspire Advocates. His Senior Advocate, John Gibbens worked with me end to end in identifying and negotiating my new PPR, off market, with my position of an unconditional contract in my wallet. I highly recommend John for his diligence researching local & close property markets, John’s advocacy and advice-post inspections both public and private. Having signed for my new home John and Nick continued to support me through the conveyance and settlement functions. Thankyou John, Nick and Team at Aspire Advocates

I recently had the pleasure of working with John Gibbens from Aspire Advocates who helped me to purchase an investment property. I found John to be highly professional, extremely knowledgeable and very passionate about his job. I was never rushed or pressured to buy before we had found the perfect property. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to friends and family and look forward to working with him again soon.

Aspire Advocates helped us throughout all of the process: from finding the right suburb for us to negotiating for the property we ended up purchasing.

They were very friendly, professional and supportive. Patiently helping us out with all of our many questions and requests we had.

We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and I think we wouldn’t have made it without their very professional advice.

I would totally recommend them, particularly for first home buyers like us 🙂

… the negotiation service was such good value for money. We feel that we got a really good deal on our new home and purchased it for the figure we wanted to pay.

Outside of that, the service was so worth it as it took all the stress out of making such a big purchase. It was so nice having someone there to negotiate for us, organise the building inspection, organise the conveyancer and talk us through everything, explaining language that we didn’t understand.

Your constant communication throughout the contract signing was really reassuring for us. Right down to calling our broker for us and making sure we were within our limits, to making sure we made a good purchase that ticked our boxes, I’d seek this service again in a heartbeat.

I also want to say that your flexibility to fit in phone calls and meetings with little to no notice was greatly appreciated, even after hours at 7:30pm on a Saturday night. I can’t believe we engaged with you on Tuesday morning, and purchased a property on Saturday evening!

In short, I would recommend Aspire Advocates without hesitation for those looking for a professional and knowledgable buyers’ advocate here on the Peninsula.

It was an absolute pleasure working with you Nick and I am sure that you were able to secure a much better price for the property than I could alone, not least due to your significant local knowledge.

I was lucky enough to work with John Gibbens from Aspire recently from Aspire Advocates who helped me purchase the perfect investment property. John took the time to understand needs and it showed when he brought properties to me.

There was never a rush in choosing a property, his only goal was to find me the perfect property, it didn’t matter if it took 1 month or 12 months. I would recommend John and Aspire Advocates to anyone who is looking for a property advocate.
