▉ BUDGET: $3M

Webb & Co. purchased a semi-detached home in North Willoughby before the first Saturday open home.

Background

In the Mid North Shore region, Webb & Co. successfully assisted a young family in purchasing a semi-detached home in North Willoughby. This family, with a budget of $3 million, sought the expertise of Webb & Co. after facing challenges in the competitive Willoughby market.

Challenges

The family's property search involved several key challenges:

Highly Competitive Market: Willoughby's property market is known for its competitiveness, making it difficult for buyers, especially in the semi-detached home segment.
Rapid Market Pace: The fast-paced nature of the market in this region meant that desirable properties were quickly taken, necessitating a swift and strategic approach to secure a suitable home.
Access to Off-Market Opportunities: Given the high levels of competition in the market, accessing homes before the general public was required in order to give our clients a leading edge and take them out of the competition.

Strategy

Our team of buyer’s agents, lead by Annabelle Webb and Billy Gleeson of Webb & Co. employed a thorough and proactive strategy. They utilised their extensive network to source multiple off-market and pre-market homes, ensuring the family had access to a broader range of properties that met their needs.

Outcome

The team's efforts resulted in finding a large semi-detached home in North Willoughby that perfectly suited the family's requirements. Despite the home needing to be launched to the public market due to the vendor's situation, Webb & Co. strategically positioned their client as the preferred buyer by accessing the home before other buyers are completing swift due diligence. They successfully secured the home for the family before the first Saturday open home, demonstrating their ability to navigate the market's challenges effectively.
