Six Days to Secure Home After More Than Six Months Searching
▉ REGION: UPPER NORTH SHORE
▉ CLIENT: YOUNG FAMILY
▉ BUDGET: $3.3M
When a a single mother of two boys first spoke to Principal Buyer’s Agent Annabelle Webb & Founding Buyer’s Agent Billy Gleeson, she had been searching for her dream home for more than 6 months.
Background
Webb & Co. was approached by a single mother of two boys, who had been searching for her dream home for over six months. Living in a rental in the Upper North Shore, she was hesitant to unpack her boxes, hoping to soon find a permanent home for her family.
Challenges
The client's search for the perfect home was fraught with challenges:
Extended Search Period: Having looked for the right home for more than half a year, the client was feeling the pressure of finding a suitable property.
Family-Oriented Requirements: As a single mother with two boys, she needed a home that would cater to the specific needs of her young family.
Navigating a Competitive Market: Finding a dream home in a competitive market like the Upper North Shore, especially within a specific budget, is always a challenging task.
Strategy
Principal Buyer’s Agent Annabelle Webb and Founding Buyer’s Agent Billy Gleeson from Webb & Co. took a proactive approach. They began by uncovering more than five opportunities in the first week of their search, including several off-market homes that fit her brief. Their strategy involved targeting properties directly and utilizing their extensive network to find suitable homes.
Outcome
After inspecting multiple homes, the client fell in love with a character family home on more than 1300sqm of flat land in North Turramurra. Despite the home being a popular on-market property set to go to auction in less than a week, Annabelle Webb leveraged her strong relationships in the area to position her client advantageously. Ultimately, Webb & Co. secured the home for $100,000 below what the client was willing to spend, helping her and her family start a new chapter in their ideal home.
