Property Type: 3 bedroom apartment
Property Location: Bream St, Coogee
Our Client was based overseas and while he came back to Australia regularly, he found there wasn't enough time to do the required searching and appraising of properties.
The priorities for our client included, advice on the best location to buy an investment property that could also be somewhere to live when they returned to Australia. They wanted an expert who was in touch with the local market, to confidently advise on what the right price to pay was for properties, and to beat the other buyers knowing they got a great price.
Applying an investment perspective to our search, we were able to ultimately short list two properties that satisfied all of our client's criteria. An off-market terrace in the Inner-west and a 3 bedroom spacious, light-filled beach side apartment.
Our tailored negotiation strategy allowed us to begin negotiations between both properties to eventually secure the beach-side property for a price our client was very happy with.
"After we spoke with Frank and he explained his process, methods and demonstrated his knowledge of the property and construction market and what to look for in an investment property; we knew we had made the right choice.
We thought we had a reasonably well defined brief with a few challenging variables, like the location was not fixed and that we would not be inspecting the property as we were living overseas. Frank gave us the immediate confidence to trust him and even prior to being formally engaged, he was looking for options out in the market.
Frank was consultative, professional, diligent and took the time to explain in detail the pro’s and cons for each property; and importantly not to deviate away from the "must haves" in our brief. Frank was always available and adjusted to our time zone which made the process very easy for us and we felt well informed all the time.
Within 2 weeks, Frank had shortlisted two different properties, been though our exhaustive list of questions and requests, completed the due diligence and were ready to negotiate and close. Frank clearly explained his strategies in the final stages and worked tirelessly over a few days and finally negotiated a great deal for us.
We would not hesitate to recommend Frank and look forward to engaging him for our next investment property!"
