Downsizer Haven Bought Ahead of Competition
▉ REGION: CAMMERAY / LOWER NORTH SHORE
▉ CLIENT: DOWNSIZERS
▉ BUDGET: $3M
Annabelle Webb & Billy Gleeson were approached by two lovely downsizers in Cammeray looking to secure a spacious apartment to start their next chapter.
Background
Annabelle Webb and Billy Gleeson of Webb & Co. were approached by downsizers in Cammeray, looking to find a spacious apartment within a $3 million budget for their next chapter. The couple had been searching for over a year without finding an apartment they liked within their budget.
Challenges
The search for the perfect apartment presented a few challenges:
Extended Search Period: Having looked for more than 12 months, the couple had not yet found an apartment that met their requirements and budget.
Specific Needs: As downsizers, the couple was looking for a property that was not only within their budget but also spacious and suited to their lifestyle needs.
Limited Availability: Finding such specific properties within budget in Cammeray's competitive market was challenging.
Strategy
To address these challenges, Annabelle and Billy leveraged their network to access off-market opportunities not available to other buyers. They presented the couple with multiple options, focusing on off-market properties that aligned with the couple's requirements.
Outcome
After just two weeks of searching, the Webb & Co. team found a newly renovated off-market apartment in Cammeray with water views, which the downsizers fell in love with. They were the first buyers to view the home. Utilizing a strong negotiation strategy and their relationship with local agents, Webb & Co. secured the property for the downsizers for more than $100k under their budget, saving a significant portion of their retirement fund.
