BENEFICIAL ADVICE

- Avoids learning costs
- Jumps the growth queue, so you’re not falling behind the average.
RECORD PRICE
Our clients rang us from overseas. In 2016 we found and bought the most expensive house ever bought in Victoria for them. It was at the top of the cycle.
Between 2017 to 2020 the market fell – yet during this time, 30% to 40% more was offered on this same home, without going to market, not once, but 3 times. Our fee was 1%. Different?
EVIDENCE BASED
Our advice keys you into precincts, properties and prices you may not think possible.
DOCTOR DOCTOR
Two doctors had heard of us from colleagues and phoned to buy and sell well.
We bought a home for $4m. Seven years later in 2021, that same home was sale managed by us off-market for $14m.
The two doctors are great at doctoring and geniuses at listening, they are also a bit different.
GAME CHANGER
Our clients were readers of Marketnews, when in 2014 we were engaged to buy a home for $5m in Bayside – we managed the sale of their previous home that same day.
Fast forward to 2021 – we sale managed their same home for over $15m, whilst buying them another. Our selling fee was nothing, we were paid by the buyer. We also sold for the that buyer, off-market. All 3 deals same day settlement. No banks. Great nest eggs. No media, no breaches of privacy. $29m in total.
Advice is different at the Top End?
6 WEeks Go to Whoa
Our clients were readers of Marketnews, when in Covid 2020 they rang us to buy and sell.
Six weeks later we had bought a new in Canterbury and sold the old in Kew. $3m each.
We ran side-by-side buy and sell campaigns to lower the risk. Same day settlement.
RELEASE the LION
In our buy sells – we also advise on and manage the sale of many great homes. Some would say this isn’t one of them – we beg to differ.
Our client’s home is on the busiest street in Melbourne, on top of an industrial laundry and near a drug injecting room. We’d guess you say location, location, location.
We were referred in by our client’s friend when no buyers had been through with the previous selling agent. Our social media effort resulted in 70 inquiries, 5 multiple visits, 2 offers, sold at full ask a few months later.
Great advice is not the same, brave when it needs to be, granted not always this different.
