Need 

Downsizer who had sold his house last year, was renting in the meantime and was looking for a 2-3 bedroom apartment in the Lower North Shore that has water views, good connectivity and is renovated. After a patient search, we found a 102 sqm apartment with sweeping Balmoral views that ticked a lot of boxes.

Situation

Access to off/pre-market properties, saving the client time by inspecting each property first before bringing the client along, acting as a buffer between them and the real estate agent supporting their best interests and setting a clear negotiation strategy to execute the purchase.

Challenge

• Difficult brief, he had a healthy budget but was torn between Northern Beaches or Lower North Shore
• The downsizer market is incredibly competitive due to the little stock available
• Time-poor with work and other commitments

Outcome

I inspected the apartment on the first Saturday it was listed and suggested the client go and look at it. We promptly arranged a private inspection on Monday and the client immediately knew it was right for them. We then tailored a negotiation strategy based on the significant interest in the property and using a deadline. The result was we secured it before the second Saturday open home, much to the frustration of other interested buyers who missed out.

Benefits

• Advisor inspecting each property for them, saving time & minimizing stress
• Expert advice throughout which included valuation, negotiating skills and due diligence
• Handled the process seamlessly from start to finish, making it an enjoyable experience
