Tap into and benefit from the value and experience of husband and wife led Licensed Independent Buyers Agent team Mark and Michelle Errichiello. Co-founders of Master Advocates Established 2014, together they possess over 45 years combined Real Estate experience in Melbourne, helping buyers just like you to buy property to live in or manage their investment portfolio.
As well as helping a range of clients, from first-time buyers, dream-home owners and upsizers to downsizers, we also work closely with renovators, builders and property developers, from knock-down re-build, dual occupancy to multi-unit subdivision sites. We source, project manage due diligence and preliminary feasibility and collaborate with our panel of trusted related industry professionals from architects, town planners, building and pest inspectors, trades people and builders, manage them throughout the job and make sure the investment property is properly cared for from initial purchase through to re-sale or leasing and property management ready.
Although we assist buyers throughout Metropolitan Melbourne, we specialise particularly in all suburbs north of the Yarra River. Our skills, networks, roots and experience in the North, North West and North East mean we are particularly strong in those areas with a network spanning Australia and direct service across the East Coast.
We are based in Essendon North and have worked here for over 25 years. Consequently, we know many of the agents personally and enjoy good relationships with them. This has proved to be hugely beneficial, as we often get notified of properties before they hit the market or invited to view homes before anyone else. We even get the red-carpet treatment when it comes to negotiating, which can end up saving our clients significant amounts of money.

SEARCH & INSPECT
Evaluate Property Sales Data
Property sales data helps you evaluate trends and behaviours in the market.
Data is available down to a suburb level, broken down by house and unit markets. The key things to look out for are median sale price, comparable sold results, sales volumes and rental data, along with average time on the market hold period information.
With our years of experience, we back our opinion and will provide you with a comparable market analysis report and an independent purchase price range on the property you wish to purchase.
You will be ready to make an informed decision and “Buy With Confidence” before we head into battle with a strategic game plan to negotiate and purchase the target property.
It is a lot of information to process, but once again, we can help remove the stress by doing it for you. And because we’ve been doing it so long, we can quickly get our heads around it and see which properties in which areas are doing well.
What to inspect when you’re inspecting
A cracked paving tile may be just that to you. But to us it means that there are tree roots underneath that are forcing their way up into your brand-new pathway.
We know all the things to look out for in a property. Sagging walls that could mean a problem with the foundations, damp or mouldy spots that could indicate an issue with the plumbing, poor sound insulation, weird smells, cracks in the walls or floorboards.
Honestly, we’ve seen it all in our 21+ years in real estate. And we know all the red flags to look out for. We have connections to the best certified building practitioners, and can call upon them to help confirm our suspicions, assist with our negotiations or help us decide to walk away and continue the hunt for the right property option.
So don’t run the risk of doing an inspection yourself and missing something important. Let us do it for you and enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that we won’t miss a thing.

Due diligence
Doing the due
Due diligence is the investigation of every aspect of a property that could affect its value and suitability as a home or investment. Here at Master Advocates, we have years of experience in this field and know exactly what to look for and what can significantly impact the value of a property.
These include such areas as:
Property
Rooms
Renovations
Easements
Zoning
Ownership
Location
Infrastructure
Neighbourhood
Amenities
Development
Is there a lot of development planned for the areas? If so, how will this affect the value of the property?
finances
Mortgage
Could you afford repayments if the interest rates suddenly jumped by 2%? What if one of you loses your job and you have only one income. Could you still meet your mortgage repayments ?
Pricing
Refurbishments
Demand
As you can see, there is a lot to do with due diligence and it can be easy to overlook something. Thankfully, however, there’s Master Advocates to do the due on your behalf. So you can bid adieu to stress and worry.

We can take care of it for you by liaising with your chosen legal representative.

The decoy bidder in the check coat: Mark Errichiello
The second of our new faces to have a big impact on the day was buyer’s advocate Mark Errichiello, who appeared to have a client keen on securing at least one of the Island Cove Villa properties.
Known as bidder No. 24, he tick-tacked with other bidders on houses 4 and 3 before eventually dropping out of the race.
It was the auction of House 5 when he finally came out on top after fighting off four other bidders, winning Kristian and Mimi’s property for $2.93 million.
At the conclusion of all the auctions, it was revealed his client was actually Portelli.
So, why did a billionaire need someone to buy his home on his behalf?
“Who knows how it would have worked out if he [Portelli] was just there on his own, buying them all?” Errichiello asked. “Others may have competed with him a little bit more vigorously at times.”
“Portelli waited until after all five auctions had taken place to make his big reveal. The billionaire stunned the crowd when he revealed, post-auction, that he had bought every home on the show, directly or through his buyer’s agent. He also confirmed that he won’t be returning to bid again next season.”…
