Webb & Co. purchased a single level East-side Killara home ahead of fierce competition.

Background

In the Upper North Shore region, Webb & Co. effectively assisted a downsizing couple in purchasing a single-level home in East-side Killara. After previously engaging with other buyer's agents without success, the couple approached Webb & Co. with a budget of $4.2 million, seeking a dream property in this prestigious area.

Challenges

This task presented several distinct challenges:

Extended Search Period: The couple had been searching for their ideal property for two years, highlighting the difficulties in finding a unique home that met their specific needs.
Unique Property Requirements: As downsizers, the couple was looking for a specific type of property in the East-side of Killara, which required a tailored search strategy to meet these precise criteria.
Competitive Market Environment: The property market in the Upper North Shore, particularly for unique and single-level homes, is highly competitive, necessitating a strategic approach to outperform other interested buyers.

Strategy

Under the leadership of Principal Buyers Agent Annabelle Webb and Founding Buyers Agent Billy Gleeson, Webb & Co. adopted a proactive and tailored approach. They leveraged their extensive network to source the ideal property, focusing on off-market opportunities to provide the couple with a competitive edge.

Outcome

The strategic efforts of Webb & Co. led to the successful acquisition of a dream home in East-side Killara within just eight weeks. They employed a strategic negotiation strategy that elevated their clients above the competition, securing the property pre-auction and below the home’s market appraised value. This achievement underlines Webb & Co.'s expertise in understanding and fulfilling client needs in a competitive market setting.
