Vendor Advisory for a Long Held Family Home in Leichhardt

Summary
A past client engaged us as vendor advocate to manage the sale of a long held family home in Leichhardt. We advised on preparation, marketing, agent selection and commission structure. The owner removed all furniture and invested about $50,000 in cosmetic works with our guidance. The sale proceeds then allowed the owner to move straight into a 5 bedroom home on nearly 1000 square metres in Pennant Hills for the same price.

The Brief
Give the owner a clear path to a strong result while keeping them at arm’s length from the emotion of selling. Our mandate covered strategy, presentation, agent appointment and ongoing oversight.

Our Approach

  • Portfolio and property review to set a preparation plan and pricing strategy
  • Agent recommendation with a commission structure aligned to performance
  • Full vacate plan then cosmetic updates including paint, repairs and gardens

The Property
• Freestanding family home in Leichhardt held by the same family for many years
• Vacant and fully styled after furniture removal and cosmetic refresh
• Presented to appeal to upsizers and Inner West families

The Result
• Sold significantly above the owner’s expectations
• Campaign managed end to end and minimal stress for the owner
• Purchased a 5 bedroom home on almost 1000 square metres in Pennant Hills with
our guidance

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth spending money on cosmetic works before selling

In this case the refresh paid off. Fresh paint, repairs, gardens and styling widened buyer appeal and helped create competition. We scope only the updates that add value for your target buyer.

How do you choose the best selling agent and commission structure

We interview agents, compare strategies and negotiate a structure that rewards performance. You get the right fit and clear accountability.

Can you help sell and buy back to back

Yes. We plan the timeline, manage risk, and coordinate the purchase so you can move straight into the next home without double moves or bridging headaches.
