All purchases are subject to formal or informal confidentiality understandings.

You will never see our name, next to a client’s name, next to a home in the general media, as many clients don’t want their name up in lights.

Like this home that our clients bought in the $20m to $30m bracket in a volcanic scenario.

It was our second home purchased for this family, the first 20 years ago, and completed with an equally exciting and positive result.

In 2 weeks – 4 heritage architects, 3 town planners, 3 solicitors, a building inspection company, 6 outside agent opinions and alternatives were arranged on top of general advice which included back to back to back to back meetings to work through clarity, assessment and strategies AND ultimately advice that the home had issues but represented an A-Grader for what was wanted and was unlikely to be repeated due to specific requirements and matching characteristics.

Advice also included that the agent’s quote could be, despite being in a difficult market, 50% off the mark to the result – given in writing before any offers and yes it was.

Results are more difficult if you do not have a successful behind-the-scenes team.

There was no next time on this type of home.
