Client Wants & Needs

Our client was a first home buyer trying to get out of the rental market on the Gold Coast, where finding a rental is hard enough on its own. She had saved the deposit. The process was the obstacle.

     Secured inside a three month deadline

Full due diligence on a first purchase

The Challenge

The deposit was saved, but the buying process itself was difficult to navigate for the first time under a hard deadline.
Dealing with agents directly left her feeling out of her depth and easy to take advantage of.
She had assumed buyers agents were only for wealthy people, and had been carrying the search alone as a result.

What We Did

01

Confirmed the Brief

Defined non-negotiables, ideal lifestyle factors, and long-term investment objectives.

02

Curated Opportunities

Handled the full search across suitable stock inside her budget and her deadline.

03

Due Diligence

Completed the due diligence on the property so a first purchase carried no hidden surprises.

04

Financials & Advisory

Created exit assessment & investment scenarios to build wealth long term.

05

Negotiated

Dealt with every agent on her behalf so she was never negotiating from a position of inexperience.

06

Handed Over & Support

Delivered key handover and settlement support and introductions.

The Results

Secured her first home in Nerang for $770,000 within six weeks, against a three month deadline. She moved in feeling confident and secure about the future rather than anxious about what she had signed.

     Can not thank Olivia, Amelia, Matt and the team enough for their support, guidance and knowledge! As first home buyers my husband and I found it daunting entering the market at a crazy time and had a tight deadline to find a place (3 months to be exact). We appreciated the consistent communication, transparency and honesty. We secured a property within 6 weeks and could not be happier with our first home! A special shout out to Olivia for going above and beyond for us - we are forever grateful
  

SRAMA's Takeaway

A buyers agent is not a luxury purchase. On a first home, the value shows up in the negotiation and the due diligence, which is exactly where an inexperienced buyer is most exposed.
