Helping a Family Secure a Prime Property with Harbour Views in Dover Heights

Client Profile

  • Location: Dover Heights, Sydney
  • Buyer Type: Owner-occupiers
  • Goal: Purchase a property with “gun barrel” Harbour Bridge views, a 500 sqm block, and potential for renovation or rebuild

Situation

Our clients, a family from the Upper North Shore, were ready to relocate to the Eastern Suburbs. They sought a property with:

  • Harbour Bridge views and a sizeable block of approximately 500 sqm
  • Renovation or rebuild potential to create a customised home
  • A six-month settlement period to allow for a smooth transition without disrupting their children’s schooling

Challenges

The search for a premium property in Dover Heights came with unique challenges:

  1. Difficult Brief with Limited Opportunities
  2. Competitive Price Point
  3. Time Constraints

Our Approach

To meet the family’s needs, we focused on targeted property selection, strategic negotiation, and consistent market monitoring.

  1. Property Pre-Inspections and Agent Communication
  2. Strategic Auction Attendance and Negotiation Tactics
  3. Timed, Unconditional Offer for Maximum Leverage

Outcome: Securing a High-Potential Property Below Expected Cost

After a focused search and strategic negotiation, we successfully secured a prime 500 sqm property with Harbour Bridge views for the clients. The six-month settlement provided the family with the time they needed to transition smoothly, and by timing our offer, we saved the clients $400,000 compared to their initial offer.
