Summary
A first home buyer living overseas engaged us to help secure an apartment in Sydney, with his parents based in New Zealand assisting throughout the process on his behalf.
The brief was specific and competition was strong, particularly for apartments with good natural light, outdoor space and strong owner occupier appeal. After inspecting opportunities across both the Lower North Shore and Inner City, we secured a quality apartment in Zetland that aligned closely with what the client was looking for.
The Situation
Buying from overseas created additional pressure around inspections, decision making and confidence in the process.
The client was searching across Crows Nest, Wollstonecraft, Waverton and Zetland, looking for his first apartment.
With family helping coordinate the purchase remotely, clear communication and guidance became a major part of the process.
Strategy & Execution
We inspected and filtered a large number of apartments, removing options with poor layouts, weak natural light or higher density living.
As the search progressed, the client became uncertain around some decisions, particularly balancing lifestyle preferences with budget and location. We worked closely with both the client and his parents throughout the process, helping simplify the options and giving them confidence to move forward when the right apartment became available.
The Property
- Elevated apartment with strong natural light and outdoor space
• Functional layout with parking in a well maintained building
• Convenient access to Green Square, transport and lifestyle amenities
The Result
- Successfully secured a quality apartment remotely for an expat buyer
• Removed uncertainty through clear communication and guidance throughout the process
• Strong long term home in a high demand lifestyle location
