Young family buys dream family home on Easter Sunday

Background

Annabelle Webb and Billy Gleeson of Webb & Co. were approached by upsizing clients from the Eastern Suburbs with a budget of $2.2 million. The young family sought a larger home in the Forestville / Killarney Heights area to accommodate their growing needs.

Challenges

The family faced several challenges in their property search:

Highly Competitive Market: The Forestville / Killarney Heights area is known for its competitive real estate market, making it challenging to find and secure a suitable property.
Specific Family Requirements: The family was looking for a large 4-bedroom character home within their budget and in a desirable school catchment area.
Minimizing Buyer Competition: With fierce competition for properties in the area, it was crucial to employ a strategy that minimized competition from other potential buyers.

Strategy

Principal Buyers Agent, Annabelle Webb and Founding Buyers Agent, Billy Gleeson employed an aggressive negotiation strategy to secure the property. They focused on sourcing and inspecting multiple properties, including off-market opportunities, to give the family a competitive edge.

Outcome

After four weeks of searching, the team found a suitable 4-bedroom character home within budget in the desired location. They successfully negotiated and exchanged for the property on Easter Sunday, effectively minimizing buyer competition and ensuring the family could secure their dream home without the pressures of a bidding war.
