Salam approached us through her mortgage broker, seeking help to find a suitable apartment. It wasn’t an easy brief—she had a limited budget, and some requirements were non-negotiable: two bedrooms, two bathrooms, parking, ample sunlight, and plenty of space.
Her ideal locations were Rockdale or Kogarah, but competition was fierce at this price point. After advising her against purchasing one particular apartment due to major strata issues, we resumed the search. It was challenging—many buildings had significant defects, while others exceeded her budget.
Finding a unit with no serious issues that met both the budget and her requirements was a challenge. But we managed to secure the perfect apartment. Before it went through, we faced challenges with the agent, who told us, “First to sign, gets it.” Luckily, we had already reviewed the contract and the strata plan, enabling us to get the contract signed and exchanged within a few hours.
We secured the property at a great price and, importantly, took all the stress out of the deal for her, successfully finding her perfect apartment. All requirements were met, AND it’s north-facing, with some money left over to spend on furniture.
