Property Journey:
The buyer approached Cohen Handler with the primary residence brief, but also wanted to add value. The client has spent two weeks in Sydney, thus we used this time to inspect various off; pre; and on-market properties before our buyer had to return to Germany. The terrace was secured on-market, stopping the auction campaign. The purchaser is very excited to return to Sydney later this year and start the renovation project regarding his new dream home located in this superior location.
