In the competitive and dynamic real estate market of Inner West Sydney, home buyers often face numerous challenges when seeking their ideal properties. As a property buyer’s agent located in Leichhardt, Buyer’s Domain is dedicated to simplifying the property acquisition process for our clients. Through our extensive network and expert negotiation skills, we have successfully assisted hundreds of clients in finding their dream homes and investment properties. In this article, we will explore four case studies that highlight the benefits of engaging a buyer’s agent in Inner West Sydney.
Case Study 1: Downsizing with Ease
Client Profile
Margaret and Geoff, a couple seeking to downsize, had already sold their $6 million residence on Sydney’s Lower North Shore. Their goal was to relocate to the Inner West to be closer to their family and grandchildren.
Challenges
Margaret and Geoff were unfamiliar with the nuances of Inner West Sydney, particularly in identifying the best streets and neighbourhoods. Moreover, they found it challenging to locate renovated homes without stairs in prime areas close to shops and amenities.
Solution
Within three weeks of engagement, Buyer’s Domain identified a suitable off-market property in Marrickville. We negotiated the purchase price at $3,450,000 for a single-level Federation house, meticulously renovated by its previous owners.
Benefits
- Expertise in locating ideal properties in desirable locations.
- Accurate assessment of property value and negotiation of a fair purchase price.
- Significant time savings by quickly identifying and securing the preferred property.
- Comprehensive management of interactions with selling agents.
- Access to off-market properties that clients would not have discovered independently.
Case Study 2: Upgrading to a Forever Home
Client Profile
Natasha and Frank, repeat clients, sought to upgrade to a four-bedroom family home after selling their first home, initially purchased through Buyer’s Domain.
Challenges
Both clients work long hours in the city and have two primary school-aged children, making it impractical to visit open homes on weekends.
Solution
Buyer’s Domain shortlisted four properties in Leichhardt and Lilyfield within two weeks. The clients’ preferred property was off-market, and we secured it before other buyers had the opportunity to view it. The purchase price was negotiated at $4,250,000.
Benefits
- Simplification of the buying process, from property selection to due diligence and negotiation.
- Minimal time spent “out of market” between selling their previous home and purchasing their new one.
- Discovery of an ideal off-market property.
- Successful negotiation of a fair price.
Case Study 3: Finding a Unique Property
Client Profile
James, a single professional architect working in Surry Hills, sought a distinctive two-bedroom unit with unique features. His budget was $1,200,000, although he expressed interest in a one-bedroom townhouse, if available.
Challenges
James desired a property that stood out from standard two-bedroom units in the Inner West, and he was uncertain about the availability of one-bedroom townhouses.
Solution
Within one month, Buyer’s Domain secured a one-bedroom townhouse in Leichhardt, sourced through our network of real estate agents. The property was shown pre-market to the agent’s database, and we negotiated the purchase price under $1 million, well below the client’s budget.
Benefits
- Quick identification of a rare property.
- Significant time savings for the client.
- Professional guidance throughout the purchasing process.
- Effective management of client expectations.
- Purchase price negotiated well under budget.
Case Study 4: Investing with Confidence
Client Profile
Catherine and Nathan, a professional couple in their early forties with two children, own a home in Five Dock and sought their first investment property.
Challenges
The couple was unfamiliar with the property investment process and uncertain about how to begin their search for a suitable investment property.
Solution
Collaborating with their mortgage broker and financial advisor, Buyer’s Domain refined a property brief to align with their investment goals. We then identified and selected the most suitable property on the open market.
Benefits
- Creation of a clear property brief to meet investment objectives.
- Identification of the most suitable property aligned with investment goals.
- Comprehensive service through Buyer’s Domain Property Management, which secured tenants for the property and continue to manage the client’s asset.
