Client Wants & Needs

Maree and James had owned their home for decades and were ready to move, but neither of them had bought a property in a very long time. James travels constantly for work as a pilot, which left Maree carrying most of the search on her own.

Their Non-Negotiables

  
     A home that would hold up structurally for the next twenty years.
Independent due diligence before any commitment.
Support through a market that had changed completely since they last bought.

The Challenge

Buying again after forty years meant relearning the market from scratch, while running most of the search without James on the ground.

Open home numbers, competition and the pace of buying today bore no resemblance to the market Maree and James remembered from their last purchase decades ago.
James's flying schedule meant Maree was doing the bulk of the searching and inspecting on her own, with no second set of eyes to sense-check a decision before it was made.
The first home that ticked every box on their list carried severe termite damage and a sinking slab, neither of which was obvious on inspection.

What We Did

01

Confirmed the Brief

Defined their non-negotiables and what mattered most after decades in the one home.

02

Curated Opportunities

Full buying service across on-market, pre-market and off-market stock, including the off-market opportunity that ultimately secured their new home.

03

Due Diligence

On the first property that ticked every box, our due diligence uncovered severe termite damage and a sinking slab. We pulled them off that purchase and kept looking. The second property cleared every check.

04

Stayed Close Through Every Step

Checked in and updated Maree daily throughout a demanding search, so nothing was left for her to chase on her own.

05

Negotiated

Negotiated the off-market opportunity to secure the property at the right value.

06

Handed Over & Support

Delivered key handover and settlement support and introductions.

The Results

Secured in Robina at $2,388,000, off-market. What Maree and James valued most was the due diligence, because it stopped them buying a problem they would have inherited for the next twenty years.

WHAT MAREE HAD TO SAY

Every team member at Srama is awesome. I don’t say that lightly, right from Grace & team in the office, to Matt, owner, Ian, and a very extra special shout out to Jacqui and Morgs, for helping us find our home.

They were super helpful, incredibly professional, kind, caring and didn’t just hear us, but really LISTENED to our brief, and what was important to us in this journey of buying a house on the Gold Coast.

This was daily, non stop for weeks in this challenging market. Nothing was a bother for them, always checking in on us & updating us. We could not have done this without them, leading such busy lives and not having time to do all the extra little things doing all due diligence that is required, to doing great detective work, to finding us off market chances to buy a property in the pockets you love, and with all the things that are important to you in your real estate journey… from commercial to investing to a private home.

I would highly recommend Srama Team. Thank you again to Jacqui, Morgs, Matt & Grace and all of you that make the Srama Team cogs and wheels turn so well!

SRAMA's Takeaway

The best outcome we deliver is sometimes the purchase we stop. Walking a client away from a property with termite damage and a sinking slab is worth more than any discount on the wrong house.
