Client Profile
Location: Balmain, Sydney
Buyer Type: Owner occupier
Goal: Purchase a 3-bedroom apartment with high ceilings, ideally close to amenities, within a short timeframe
Situation
Our client, a previous buyer who was impressed with our communication and expertise during her own property sale in Bronte, engaged us again to find an apartment for her son. Key requirements included:
3 bedrooms and high ceilings for an open, spacious feel
Proximity to local shops and transport, including the soon-to-be-finished metro line for ease of access
Challenges
The search for an ideal apartment presented unique challenges:
Flexible Location Requirements: The client was open to various areas, making the search wide but requiring a focus on quality over quantity.
Competitive Price Point: Finding a spacious, high-ceilinged apartment within budget necessitated strategic property selection.
Purchasing on Behalf of Her Son: With her son as the primary occupant, she relied on us to handle all due diligence and property assessments.
Our Approach
To meet the client’s needs, we focused on off-market access, pre-inspections, and detailed property assessments.
- Off-Market Access and Initial Property Inspections
- Comprehensive Due Diligence and Market Analysis
- Strategic Negotiation Below Valuation
Outcome:Securing a Spacious, Conveniently Located Apartment in Balmain
We successfully secured a 3-bedroom apartment in Balmain that exceeded the client’s brief. With over 100 sqm of internal space, high ceilings, and proximity to essential amenities, the property offered ideal long-term potential. The client inspected only one property in person—the one she ultimately purchased.
