Cremorne

Area of Sydney – Lower North Shore

Client Brief vs Client Outcome:

Brief – Swift action saw us securing the property within 24 hours of it hitting the market.

We purchased a 2 bedroom apartment with harbour views in a small block, in the highly desirable Cremorne village, 20% below budget and at exceptional value.

Capitalising on our established relationship with the local agent, we were able to inspect this apartment just as it came to market and finalised the deal to buy it the day after.

Our client expected: –

An apartment with a covered balcony. No views were anticipated…we secured an apartment with district views and looking across the harbour to the Eastern Suburbs

Search:

Our client, a busy professional, entrusted us to streamline the search and purchase process. We evaluated several properties that she wished to pursue, including bidding for one at auction, and another with an outdated fuse box, which we advised against.

We viewed the ideal apartment within the first 24 hours of it hitting the market; our preparedness and established relationship with the selling agent proving invaluable.

Evaluate:

We were thorough in evaluating each prior property our client considered, including one with an old fuse box that we advised against pursuing.

For the chosen apartment, we reviewed the strata report on-site during our initial inspection. Confident in its suitability, we recommended proceeding with the purchase.

Negotiate :

Swift action characterized our negotiation process. On the same day as our inspection, we submitted an offer that was accepted. However, our client’s conveyancer was unavailable preventing us from moving forward in the evening. By the next morning. another competitive offer had emerged. To secure the property, we strategically increased our bid by $20,000, successfully finalising the deal.
