Guided Every Step of the Way, From Brief to Settlement.

Background

Our clients, a professional expat couple relocating to Australia, engaged Webb & Gleeson to help navigate what they found to be a complex and fast-moving Sydney property market. With limited time and market knowledge, they were seeking guidance from the ground up to help secure their first home in Australia. At the outset, the brief was quite open. They knew they wanted a downsizer friendly property on the Upper North Shore, but were unsure about which suburbs suited them best or what kind of home would offer the right mix of practicality and long-term value.

Strategy

We approached this purchase as both a buying process and an educational journey. From day one, we helped our clients define and refine their brief, asking the right questions to uncover their true needs, from commuting logistics, style and layout.

As the brief evolved, we ran a highly targeted campaign across multiple Upper North Shore suburbs, inspecting dozens of properties both on and off-market on their behalf. We delivered detailed, tailored shortlists and virtual walk-throughs so our clients could make confident decisions efficiently.

Over time, their preferences became clearer, and our search became more focused. Once the ideal property surfaced in Killara we moved quickly. Thanks to our pre-negotiation groundwork and strong communication with the selling agent, we were positioned as the preferred buyers.

Outcome

We secured a beautiful, well-located home in Killara that met most of our clients’ evolving needs, and did so without competition and well below market value. Despite a longer-than-average search, the process strategic and ultimately highly rewarding. By the time we exchanged, our clients felt confident and excited with a property that marked the start of their new chapter in Australia. From brief-building to keys in hand we were there every step of the way.
