Circa $2.3M
Rebecca and Mike had a long standing dream of moving to the Northern Beaches. They approached me several weeks before they planned to sell their home at Normanhurst and sought advice on the best local agent to assist in the sale. They were very concerned about the fast moving market leaving them behind and worried their sale proceeds would not be enough to get into the beaches area. With three young children, coordinating inspections on a Saturday was proving to be a nightmare. I carefully outlined what their budget could buy for $2.2m and searched high and low to find every possible opportunity including doing letter box drops to specific streets. Their emotions were fluctuating from despair to desperation and some points and I calmly re-assured them to trust me and the diligent process I use to find the ideal home. Within 2 weeks of selling their home I had uncovered an “Off-market” opportunity (4 bed/2 bath/ 2 car brick home overlooking the bush in a quiet street). I appraised the property at $2.2m and then managed to negotiate the eventual purchase price to $2.15m directly with the owner. To say they were delighted is an understatement.
We approached Rich on a trusted referral as we were trying to achieve what felt like the near impossible - upgrading street and suburb with three kids in tow. From the time we completed our brief we knew Rich just "got" us. He understood the challenges and was relentless in finding something not only within out budget but completely on brief. Throughout the whole process Rich's communication was brilliant and even through our panic he was a constant source of reason & wisdom. In the end our purchase exceeded our expectations which we can sincerely say would not have been possible without Rich. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rich and Propertybuyer to anyone seeking a positive purchase experience.
