Client Profile
- Location: Huntleys Cove, Sydney
- Buyer Type: Young family
- Goal: Purchase a townhouse close to the city with easy access to local schools, transport, and amenities
Situation
Our clients were seeking a townhouse that provided city proximity and access to local schools and amenities. Their ideal property was located near transport options and community hubs, allowing them to balance family life with convenient city access. To streamline the search process, the clients relied on us to:
- Inspect each property independently to save them time and bring forward only the best options
- Act as a buffer between them and the real estate agents, managing all negotiations and communications
- Set a clear negotiation strategy to secure a competitive deal
After careful consideration, we highlighted a property close to the ferry wharf, Hunters Hill, and Gladesville shops, which checked all their boxes.
Challenges
Finding a high-quality townhouse for a young family in Huntleys Cove presented specific challenges:
- Budget Constraints: Working within a limited budget, we needed to ensure value without compromising quality or location.
- Time Constraints: The family had limited availability, requiring a quick and efficient process.
- Short Timeline for Purchase: Due to their schedule, they needed to secure a property within a tight timeframe.
Our Approach
To meet the clients’ needs and timeline, we focused on leveraging off-market access, thorough property inspections, and a strategic negotiation plan.
- Exclusive Off-Market Access
Utilizing our agent relationships, we identified an off-market townhouse that aligned perfectly with the clients’ needs. By securing exclusive access, we ensured that the clients had a unique opportunity without competing buyers. - Thorough Property Inspections and Due Diligence
As time-poor professionals, the clients relied on us to pre-screen each potential property. After confirming the townhouse’s suitability, we conducted detailed due diligence to confirm its value and minimize potential risks, providing the clients with a comprehensive assessment. - Tailored Negotiation Strategy
Recognizing the opportunity for value, we implemented a negotiation strategy that positioned the clients as serious buyers. We secured the property for $50,000 less than the vendor’s expectations, ensuring the client received a favourable deal within budget.
Outcome: Securing a Prime Townhouse at a Competitive Price
Within a short timeframe, we successfully secured an off-market townhouse in Huntleys Cove that met the clients’ location and lifestyle needs. The clients, thrilled with the seamless process, recognized the value of our exclusive access and acknowledged that this property wouldn’t have been available to them without our industry connections.
