Callum and Laura approached us after missing out time and time again while trying to get into the market. They knew the market was moving fast and wanted to secure the perfect home before prices rose even further.
They had a good idea of what they wanted and were ready to move quickly when the right opportunity came along.
After inspecting a couple of options, we found a fantastic two bedroom townhouse with a large backyard in a very tightly held complex. We were keen to make an offer, but without the Form 2 we had to sit back and wait. In the meantime, another buyer had submitted an offer and, after a few conversations with the agent, we had a good gauge of where we might need to be.
When the Form 2 finally came through, the owner surprisingly decided to skip the next open home and accept the offer already on the table. We moved fast, rallied the troops, and submitted a strong offer that got us over the line and beat the competition.
During the 7-day cooling off period, we identified some concerns with the property and were able to negotiate $30,000 off the original offer price.
