First Home Buyers Secure Off-Market Apartment in Wollstonecraft

Summary
As first home buyers, our clients were seeking expert support at every step—from pricing and property comparisons to negotiation and due diligence.

The very first property we introduced ended up being the one—secured off-market just three weeks later after a clear and confident search process.

The Brief
The clients came to us as first-time buyers looking to get a foothold in a premium Lower North Shore suburb. They needed professional guidance and a structured approach to avoid missteps and feel confident in their decisions.

Their goals:

– A quality apartment close to transport and lifestyle
– Step-by-step support and trusted advice throughout the process

Our Approach
We began by reviewing recent sales and clarifying price expectations in the suburbs of Wollstonecraft, Waverton, and Lane Cove.

By showing a range of suitable options early on, the clients quickly gained clarity on their priorities — and when the right property appeared off-market, they were ready to act.

We managed the due diligence, valuation cross-checks, and implemented a clear negotiation strategy to secure the deal with no competing buyers.

The Property

– Boutique apartment in Wollstonecraft
– Renovated interiors with great natural light
– Walking distance to train, cafes, and green space
– Secured off-market, avoiding open homes and public competition

The Result

– Property secured just 3 weeks after engagement
– Strategy and negotiation handled end-to-end
– Clients gained confidence through the search process
