Poh and Nick, two busy professionals, had been searching for their first family home for over 14 months. Their weekends were consumed by property inspections across a wide stretch of Melbourne – from the eastern suburbs to the west, often missing out on properties or finding homes that didn’t meet their expectations.
Their brief was clear:
- A house or townhouse with 4 bedrooms
- Modern finishes, no renovation required
- Within a reasonable commute to the Melbourne CBD
Challenges
- Competing with other buyers in a competitive market
- Widened search area, which made the process time-consuming and exhausting
- Ongoing frustration from missing out on suitable properties
Our Approach
We worked closely with Poh and Nick to refine their search strategy and focus on suburbs that aligned better with their lifestyle, commute, and budget. After discussing trade-offs and opportunities, we agreed to concentrate on Altona North, a well-connected suburb close to the CBD that offered greater value and newer homes.
By narrowing the search and applying a targeted approach, we were able to identify the right property quickly.
The Outcome
We successfully secured a brand-new 4-bedroom townhouse in Altona North, complete with high-end finishes that suited Poh and Nick’s style and needs. The property exceeded their expectations and required no additional work, allowing them to move in and enjoy it immediately.
Client Feedback
Poh and Nick were thrilled with the outcome. After over a year of weekend inspections and endless driving, they now have their weekends back and a beautiful new home to enjoy.
