They were clear in their brief, highly responsive, and easy to work with throughout the process. The Challenges: Limited budget flexibility made it difficult to secure a property that fully met the brief, particularly in a competitive market with strong demand from first home buyers. Tight stock levels also required leveraging agent relationships to access both on-market and off-market opportunities. The Buyer’s Brief: Sehu targeted investment properties with a budget of $850,000+, preferring an off-market purchase. The ideal property was a low-maintenance, single-level brick home with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a double garage, and a yard, located close to schools and amenities. The Outcome: The team secured the property for $832,000—$15,000 below asking—leveraging under-market rent and agent relationships to negotiate favourable terms, including an additional $3,000 reduction for repairs. The near-new property (under 4 years old) offers strong upside, with rental potential of $620–$650 per week and a strategic position for long-term growth.}'}
