Before The Agent was designed to provide clarity at the start of the property journey.
Selling property involves considerable financial decisions, different service providers, and contractual complexities. Many sellers go through this procedure without independent monitoring, relying exclusively on agent-led advice.
Before The Agent exists to provide structure before committing. We assist sellers to understand their position, carefully analyse options, and confidently engage with the right professionals.
Our responsibility begins before an agent is hired and continues throughout the selling process, ensuring that decisions are consistent with your interests.
With years of hands-on experience in the real estate industry, we have built a reputation for delivering exceptional results and trusted guidance for our clients. Our track record reflects the dedication, market knowledge, and commitment we bring to every property journey.
Years of experience. Over a decade of industry expertise helping sellers make confident real estate decisions.
Career Sales. A strong portfolio of successful property transactions totaling more than $400 million in real estate sales.
Properties Consulted. Providing expert consultation and strategic advice on 200+ properties, helping clients maximise value and opportunities.
We serve as an independent layer of oversight during each stage of the sales process.
We assess your property, circumstances, schedule, and goals to determine a clear starting point.
We evaluate preparation needs and schedule styling, improvements, or advisory advice as required.
We select appropriate agents based on their performance, market alignment, and relevance to your property type and region.
We analyse campaign proposals, fee structures, pricing methods, and marketing plans to help you make an informed decision.
We track campaign progress, buyer interaction, feedback trends, and strategic modifications.
We ensure that reporting is transparent and consistent with agreed-upon objectives.
We provide advice during the negotiation process, exploring proposals and strategy possibilities before making judgements.
Where required, we assist in coordinating removals and relocation logistics to support a smooth transition once the sale process is nearing completion.
We can help organise services such as utilities connections, disconnections, and other practical arrangements to ensure the transition is managed efficiently.
Director, Nick Dinakis has been selling real estate since 2013 and, over time, recognised a lack of transparency in the industry. Before the Agent was founded to deliver a more transparent, independent alternative to traditional real estate transactions.
This independence enables us to:
Our goal is long-term clarity, not short-term results.
Our clientele consists of time-constrained professionals, property investors, or sellers with substantial financial assets.
They value:
Before The Agent takes a systematic, measured approach to property sales.
We think that informed judgements are made when information is transparent, options are carefully considered, and obligations are well understood.
Our property sold well above our expectation! Nick and BTAs expertise assisting with the sale of our two warehouses was amazing. He made a very stressful and unknown time, very very easy. As retirees with little experience selling property, we wanted to feel cared for. Nick has a very empathetic way of doing business, he made the process simple and he ensured we did all the right things to sell for a great price.
We engaged Before the Agent after a failed sale campaign. Nick was able to review the failure then create a clear stategy for the second campaign leading to a very succesful sale! As busy professionals with a young family, we benefited greatly from the extra layer of advice and reassurance.
We first met Nick when he sold us our home in 2023 and has been great to deal with throughout both the purchase and subsequent sale (due to moving internationally). Nick has made a daunting process manageable through his communication style and knowledge of the market. We have had a great experience with him and his team.
Excellent in all aspects. Always understanding a very passionate genuine sincere man. Selling your family home can be very confronting. Nick was there all the way. With sincere support and respect.
We couldn’t be happier with Nick’s support in selling our property. Nick’s professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care gave us complete confidence. Nick set realistic expectations and kept us informed every step of the way. Always responsive and transparent, Nick made the experience smooth and stress-free, and we felt supported the entire time. Nick went above and beyond to help secure a result that exceeded our expectations. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with Nick again in the future.
I had the pleasure of working with Nick to sell our Home, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Nick was personable, professional and communicative. Every step of the way he provided clear updates, answered all our many questions and offered great advice making the entire process much smoother than I anticipated. His dedication truly made a difference in selling our home.
We felt relaxed with Nick the first time we met and to say he was a pleasure to work with is an understatement. Nick's guidance throughout the campaign was above and beyond and to get the result we got by the set date was an awesome achievement. We couldn’t recommend him more highly and thank him so much for making this big transition in our life so much easier.
Nick’s knowledge of the ins and outs of the market is impressive. This was our first venture into selling our family home and we knew nothing about how the process worked. From the moment we met Nick we knew that he would do a great job on our behalf. His simple explanations of each step of the process was clear, especially for me, who had never sold a house before. If we could give 10 stars we would
