Sue, who works in the airline industry, and David, who is self-employed in the construction industry, already owned an investment property in Queensland. They were now ready to purchase a home of their own in North Strathfield.
Their brief was clear: a two-bedroom apartment with one bathroom and a lock-up garage, within a budget of $960,000. The ideal property needed to offer open-plan living, plenty of natural light and, importantly, a quiet position.
After searching independently and continually missing out on suitable properties for several months, Sue and David engaged me to help them navigate the market and secure the right home.
Within just four weeks, we found an apartment that perfectly matched their brief, with the added bonus of a second bathroom.
Auction day made the experience even more memorable. Sue was overseas and joined by phone, listening anxiously as the bidding unfolded. David was seeing the property in person for the very first time that day.
With a clear auction strategy and disciplined bidding, we successfully secured the apartment for $905,000, an impressive $55,000 below their maximum budget.
Sue and David are now preparing to move into their new home and are thrilled to begin this exciting next chapter.
From months of frustration and missed opportunities to securing the ideal property within four weeks, under budget and with an extra bathroom, this was a wonderful result for a deserving couple.
