An “Improver” On A Superb Block Of Land For Desmond And Joey
Desmond and Joey are first home buyers who were referred to Renowden Buyers Advocates by a previous happy property buying client of ours. They were looking for assistance to find and buy and were also open to advice we had to offer, to ensure they bought not only a good property, but a sound investment. After six or seven weeks of inspecting many properties and pursuing houses on their own block of land as a priority selection, we have bought the ideal investment cocktail … A brick veneer home requiring some work but underpinned by a superb 766 square metre block of land with preferred north facing rear orientation. And for an excellent price!
The property was passed-in at auction last weekend largely due we believe because buyers are looking ideally for homes “ready to move into requiring no work”. Nonetheless, interest was building and within several days of the auction several buyers were offering on the property and its days were almost certainly numbered before it got snapped up. We negotiated promptly (but after a second look by Desmond and Joey) and wrapped the purchase up before the following weekend’s open for inspection when it almost certainly would have been sold. Good advocacy is knowing how the industry works and how buyers, selling agents and vendors operate. We guided our clients accordingly to achieve a purchase they were keen to achieve, with our endorsement. Another excellent outcome and a delighted couple of first home buyers looking forward to their new life ahead – with a veggie garden!! 🙂
“When we first started, we looked around on the internet and went to some inspections like anyone else would.
As things get more serious i.e., as we went for more inspections and even attended a few auctions, the stress and fatigue from the process started to wear us out after a few weeks.
Then, a friend through a chat by chance, told us about Bruce’s buyer advocate service. “Highly recommended, from personal experience”, the friend said. That is when we started to seriously consider engaging a professional buyer’s advocate. After a few discussions amongst ourselves, and we recognised that we needed help, we decided to get in touch with Bruce, and later engaged his service.
Bruce has been instrumental in the rest of our home buying journey, from listing filtering, to inspection, to negotiation and right up to sealing the deal. It is not exaggerating when we say that our stress was more than halved after we engaged Bruce’s service. What seemed to us like a complex and a no-light-in-the-tunnel process is a walk in the breeze to Bruce. He knows his stuff, and the industry. Make no mistake though. We still had to put in some hard work, but it was all well guided.
We have learnt a lot from Bruce as we have thrown a lot of questions at him, sometimes probably a bit too much, but he has always answered our questions patiently without reserve. He has guided us throughout the whole process and helped us firmed up on our expectations, and that finally led us to our decision on the property we bought.
Bruce’s service has been invaluable to us. We knew all along about buyer’s advocate. However, it was not until we tried to have a go at it ourselves that we fully appreciate the value of his service.
We bought our place, yes, and we are very happy with it. That is a positive outcome. However, what we have gained was far more than just a place of our own!”  Desmond  Google
