What We Did

Sudi and Sanjay were wanting to be introduced to a few different locations they may not have considered. We provided them with an itinerary of 6 suburbs to explore together on the weekend and refined the search to 3 target locations.

Having a hunch that the types of properties that matched the budget were not going to be suitable and enjoyable properties for the couple, we arranged a shopping day together. We looked at 7 homes together that met the initial brief and budget and added an additional home that was priced $100,000 higher than the preferred budget.

The difference in the quality and size of the property was considerable. I knew with our negotiation skill and industry contacts we could get the property for less than the ask price and bridge that $100,000 difference between inferior properties and this home. 

• Superior property (size, condition & suburb)
• Purchased $50,000 under market value ( based on comparable sales)
• Superior asset that should outperform and increase in value faster than properties in original brief
• Stretched into an area that would not typically be available in their budget

• Market Value – $750,000 – $760,000

• Comparable properties priced $750,000-$770,000

• Negotiated $710,000 

• Client SAVED $50,000 

• Time Saved = 10 months

With strong negotiations and fortuitous timing in the market we were able to bridge the gap between Sudi & Jay’s initial budget and the asking price of the villa unit.

This helped our couple into a superior home that they could enjoy through a few stages of life and offered a stronger asset base to leverage off in the future when they are ready to upgrade.
