Property Journey:

The clients were a young couple who had begun their property journey on their own in August 2015. The clients were working professionals who had just had a newborn and were looking to find their first family home to accommodate their needs for the next 5-7+ years. The clients had begun looking locally in the Eastern Suburbs from where they were familiar, open to an apartment but also liked the idea of Sydney’s Inner West 2-3 bedroom houses. After 8 months of actively looking, the clients were frustrated having had to readjust their expectations and were fed up with the lack of quality stock and inconsistency of property prices and communication from sales agents.

At this point the clients were referred to Cohen Handler by a friend and introduced to an Inner West/Inner City buyers agent who specialised in primary residence briefs in their preferred suburbs. Relationships with sales agents and knowing property values is key to executing efficiently in any market place.

Within 3.5 weeks of engaging, the clients gained exclusive access to a character 2 bedroom brick home on 200+ sqm on one of Marrickville’s best streets with fantastic potential to extend/add value to which was important for the clients. This home had been listed for a Spring campaign but the vendors had just a newborn themselves and were keen for a smooth/hassle free transaction themselves. The clients were the only buyer to see this home and negotiated $25000 below asking price. The clients are ecstatic and can’t wait for settlement now.
