In a fiercely competitive property market, having the right team in your corner can make all the difference. This was certainly the case for a busy professional couple who recently secured their dream home at 17 Orange Ave, Perth, with the help of a buyer’s agent from Cohen Handler.
The power of a buyer’s agent
The Perth property market is currently red-hot, and for many buyers, it can feel like a race against time. Properties are snapped up within days of being listed, often at prices that exceed expectations. For those with demanding work schedules, like this couple, it can be nearly impossible to attend home opens or keep up with the rapid pace of the market. But that’s where a buyer’s agent comes in.
The couple that bought this home, unable to attend open houses due to their hectic schedules, decided to take a proactive approach by appointing a buyer’s agent. The agent, well-versed in the local market and armed with strong relationships with real estate professionals, was able to act on their behalf, ensuring they didn’t miss out on any opportunities.
A winning strategy
The investment property at 17 Orange Ave had been recently renovated by the seller, who had previously attended several of our home opens. She was impressed with our approach—how we presented homes, engaged with buyers, and followed up after viewings. This meticulous attention to detail led her to choose us as her agents.
On the buyer’s side, the couple’s decision to use a buyer’s agent paid off. The agent presented a compelling offer that the seller couldn’t refuse, allowing the couple to secure the property swiftly and without the stress of constant home opens. The seller was thrilled with the result, achieving a sale price of $1,350,000 following the first home open—a testament to the strong market and the effectiveness of having a skilled buyer’s agent on their side.
Should you consider a buyer’s agent?
For those who find themselves repeatedly missing out on properties or simply unable to keep up with the demands of the market due to work commitments, a buyer’s agent can be a game-changer. They offer expert advice, have inside knowledge of upcoming listings, and can negotiate on your behalf, saving you time and potentially securing a better deal.
In this case, the couple’s proactive approach, combined with the expertise of their buyer’s agent, created a win-win situation for everyone involved. The seller was able to capitalise on the thriving market, and the buyers secured their forever home without the usual stress and hassle.
A growing trend
We’re seeing more and more buyers turning to agents as the property market continues to heat up. At our agency, we work closely with buyer’s agents, keeping them informed of new listings and ensuring they have all the information they need to help their clients make the best decisions.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer or an experienced investor, a buyer’s agent might be just the key to finding your next home.
Seller’s testimonial: 17 Orange Ave, Perth
“Nadija achieved a remarkable sale price for my property. I actually didn’t think that we would achieve the price guide she suggested…but she did! She works very hard – she was at the property until 8pm finishing up the staging so it was right for the photos the next day. The staging was fabulous – not ‘cookie cutter’ like some staging.
Communications were also great. I always knew what was happening during the lead up to the first home open and got prompt feedback after each subsequent home open which was important to me. I would definitely recommend and use Nadija again for future sales.”
