The Brief:
My clients, Dr Mayuran & Arandani wanted to purchase their first home within a 30 minute drive from the City. A big ‘tick’ requirement was that the property had to be within a 15 minute walk to the Harbour. The property had to have a minimum of 3 bedrooms with parking.
Client Comments:
My wife and I are busy professionals and had been planning to buy our first home for years. We finally had our deposit saved when COVID hit. During this time of uncertainty we weren't sure whether to postpone our dream of buying our first home. It was at this time we decided to use a buyer's agent. We teamed up with Nick Taylor-Fick from Propertybuyer and found him to be a steady calm presence. Nick guided us through the whole process from developing our search criteria, to shortlisting options, all the way through to exchange (all of which happened within a month). He provided us with expert advice, asked the right questions and very quickly surmised what we were after. He was patient, showing us various types of houses across different locations, all the while managing our expectations. As we refined our vision, Nick found the home we wanted and negotiated everything to our satisfaction. We found him responsive and engaging, a true fount of property information. I would recommend Nick to any property novices such as ourselves!

Buyers’ Agents Comments:
Working with Mayuran & Arandani made their brief so much more achievable, as they were realistic and open to new possibilities. Their communications were always very responsive and helpful. Mayuran & Arandani believed that engaging Propertybuyer was the right way to buy their first property as they are time poor professionals and we are the property professionals with the experience of the market to help secure the best property for them.
After looking at some Inner West properties, particularly around the Balmain peninsular, I presented a Riverview property to them. They hadn’t considered this location but liked the property and the fact they could walk to a part of the harbour from the property. The property also presented an added value opportunity to expand in the future. I was able to negotiated a very good price for them that ended up being at the bottom of their budget range. Six months later, they advised me that the Banks revaluation came in $150,000 more than the purchase price. Happy clients and buyers' agent all round.
