Family Home.

The Buyer.

A family of 3.

The Brief.

To purchase a "quintessentially Sydney" family home on Sydney's Lower North Shore.

The Strategy. 

To secure a family home in a blue ribbon location with capital growth potential.

The Story. 

Our clients fell in love with the federation charm of this home, despite it guiding well over their budget. The team at Maker kept a watchful eye on the campaign, which eventually saw the price guide reduced and the auction pushed back by two weeks.

At the auction, there were only two registered bidders, us and an international buyer on the other end of a phone. A long and stalling auction saw the property pass in to us well below the reserve.

Negotiations ended with vendor and buyer being too far apart to agree on auction day. Two weeks after the auction we increased our offer by $30k at the same time, reducing the vendors' position by $220k to successfully secure the property.
