Elizabeth and Jack were referred to us by one of our happy clients, after some failed attempts to secure their first home on their own.
Their goal was to secure a property with strong upside potential in a highly desirable location, giving them the best opportunity for long-term capital growth.
They were looking for an older-style semi-detached home on a quiet street and with plenty of natural light.
After missing out on several homes in competitive auctions and multiple-offer situations, our client wanted an experienced Buyers Agent to help them uncover opportunities with less competition.
Our focus was on identifying properties where they could negotiate from a position of strength and secure the right home without the stress of bidding wars.
We presented our clients with a shortlist of 29 carefully selected properties, including 16 Off-Market opportunities, giving them access to a much broader range of homes than they would have found on their own.
Together, we inspected the most suitable properties, providing expert advice on renovation potential, estimated costs for cosmetic improvements, and identifying any building or structural issues. This enabled our clients to confidently narrow their search to the 3 strongest contenders.
Although one property sold to a buyer willing to pay well above fair market value, we remained patient and continued the search. Shortly afterwards, we uncovered an even better opportunity in one of Maroubra's most sought-after streets. A wide-fronted home with a desirable north-facing rear aspect. The property was immediately liveable, offered excellent scope for cosmetic improvements, and had outstanding long-term capital growth potential.
Through strategic negotiations, we secured the property for less than our clients had anticipated paying, leaving them with additional funds to complete the renovations and add further value to their new home.
We had a wonderful experience working with Frank and couldn’t recommend him more highly.
From the very beginning Frank took the time to truly understand our brief, our budget, ad what was personally important to us in finding our first home.
Frank’s intimate knowledge of the eastern suburbs property market gave us enormous confidence. His insights helped us become decisive and clear on what we wanted, and when the right opportunity appeared, we were ready to act quickly and with certainty.
An added bonus was Frank’s background as a builder, which proved incredibly valuable when inspecting properties in various states of disrepair. His ability to identify issues, renovation potential and realistic costs gave us peace of mind and helped us avoid several properties that would have been far more work than we realised.
Ultimately, we secured a home in our dream location, within our budget — and it was an off-market property we simply would not have found or secured without Frank’s network, experience and negotiation skills. We are absolutely thrilled with the result and so grateful to Frank.
