BUYERS' AGENT COMMENTS

My clients were time poor and were looking to purchase a quality property that would attract quality tenants in a location that would provide healthy price growth. We were patient and reviewed many options and settled on a quality renovated Circa 1920’s beautifully renovated Federation brick semi 300m from a bustling popular entertainment hub within Newcastle edge of the CBD. The property we decided on had been on the market for 3 x months at a higher price of $1,050,000 to $1,150,000 & it had been withdrawn temporarily, soon to go back to market at a new competitive price point. We appraised at $965,000 to $985,000 & purchased well below value at $950,000 saving my clients anywhere from $15,000 to $35,000. I had good rapport with the selling agent and discussed a lower price point and we agreed on a favourable price allowing the vendor to have a longer settlement and to lease back if she needed and thus reducing the price further with providing flexibility on terms & conditions to suit the vendor.
