The competition at auction was intense as five bidders pursued one of the most sought-after addresses in Melbourne. The property being offered is modest in comparison to its neighbours for it is surrounded by stately homes built during Melbourne’s most prosperous era; a time of magnificent period architecture displayed on a grand scale.

A livable and comfortable period timber home on a small piece of land – likely an annexation of the larger adjoining property in days past, presented a very rare opportunity to purchase in this location at a fraction of the value of many of the neighbouring homes. This is the classic example of a “worst home in the best street” scenario. It is the one to buy(!), the value being buoyed by the surrounding real estate. Alas our clients sought our assistance to navigate a very unknown – and “unknowable”, auction landscape. All auctions have an uncertainty factor, however the profile of this type of auction sale make it considerably more so.

Renowden Buyers Advocates was delighted as the buyers who could not be present at the auction listened on to hear their success as the hammer fell with our final winning bid. They were ecstatic to have bought the home they really wanted ... Perfect.

“We recently had the pleasure of working with Bruce from Renowden Buyers Advocates. He was our buyer’s advocate during a competitive auction in the Kew area, Victoria, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience and outcome.

Despite being overseas and being first home buyers, Bruce made the entire process stress free for us through several WhatsApp calls, ensuring we were always informed and involved. His dedication was evident as he put us on the phone via WhatsApp during the auction day, making us feel as though we were right there with him. Before the auction, Bruce took the time to have multiple meetings with us to thoroughly understand our budget limits and preferences. His expert advice and strategic approach were instrumental throughout the process.

Bruce is extremely knowledgeable about the housing market and devised an amazing strategy for the auction. Thanks to his exceptional skills and insights, we emerged as the winning bidders of a classic house, one of the most historically significant properties in Kew.

Bruce’s professionalism, humility, expertise, and unwavering support truly set him apart. If you’re looking for a buyer’s advocate who will go above and beyond to help you achieve your homeownership dreams, we wholeheartedly recommend Bruce. His exceptional service made a challenging process smooth and successful, and his sense of humor and continuous reassurances would take away the fear, stress and unpredictability that characterise the auction process.

Most importantly as well, Bruce’s fees are incredibly reasonable and affordable and if you are a first home buyer or someone who does not understand the implicit dynamics of auctions, I would strongly advise you to get the services of Bruce Renowden Buyers Advocate support. It is money well spent.

Thank you, Bruce, for your outstanding assistance and for helping us secure our dream home that we really really liked 🙂 !”      Mhamed   Google
