Rodney’s client had a clear vision for her next home. She wanted to buy in a specific part of Maroubra, within walking distance to the beach. Given the competitive nature of the Sydney property market, particularly in sought-after beachside locations, Jane knew she needed expert guidance to secure the right property. That’s when she engaged Rodney McLoughlin from TBAS® Buyers Agents to take on the challenge.
A Proactive Approach: Off-Market Strategies
Understanding Jane’s precise requirements, Rodney implemented an active off-market strategy to locate potential sellers in the area. This included:
-
- Door-knocking targeted properties in the desired streets.
-
- Letterbox drops to owners who might consider selling.
-
- Direct outreach to potential sellers through local networks.
This hands-on approach ensured Jane had access to properties that weren’t yet listed publicly, giving her a competitive edge in a tight market.
The Right Property Hits the Market
After a six-week targeted search, the perfect home at 52 Sackville St, Maroubra was listed for auction. With strong interest from multiple buyers, Jane faced the risk of intense competition on auction day. To avoid the uncertainty and pressure of an auction, Rodney developed a strategic negotiation plan to secure the property before it went under the hammer.
Winning the Deal Before Auction
Initially, the selling agent was firm on not selling prior to auction due to the significant buyer interest. However, leveraging expert negotiation tactics, Rodney engaged in persistent discussions, presenting an attractive offer that convinced the vendor to reconsider.
The result? Jane successfully secured the property for $4,510,000—one week before auction. By acting decisively and strategically, she avoided a potential bidding war and the uncertainty of auction day.
A Happy Outcome
Jane was thrilled with the outcome, securing her dream home in the exact location she wanted without the stress of competing at auction. This case highlights the power of a proactive buyers’ agent, strategic negotiation, and a tailored property search approach.
