Meticulously Renovated Torbay Investment
Tom was seeking a high quality and safe investment property that balanced capital growth and yield, and would attract a good tenant.
Based in Sydney, Tom could not be on the ground checking homes and completing the thorough due diligence that he knew would be essential. Tom engaged Martelli Buyers Agents to refine the brief and seek out opportunities on the North Shore with the help of buyers agent Karin Attwood. Karin found an excellent two bedroom brick and tile unit in Torbay, recently renovated, and developed a strategy to purchase.
While having the budget to buy under the hammer, Karin instead let the home pass in and allow us to negotiate a better deal two days later. Karin also negotiated for the property manager to have early access for viewings, ensuring Tom had a tenant from the first day post settlement and avoiding any rental downtime.
I decided to work with Alex and Karin because I needed professionals on the ground to help with an investment property search, because I’m based overseas. It was particularly important that Alex, Karin and I were totally aligned and I had full trust in them, as this purchase could potentially be one of the most impactful financial decisions I make.
Alex and Karin’s experience as property buyers came through immediately through the comments they made - both on properties they considered worth investigating and those they disregarded. It was clear that they both knew what I wanted in the purchase and were serious about doing the due diligence needed to make both themselves and me confident to move on any property worth pursuing. This trust and alignment allowed me to commit completely during the crucial negotiation process to secure a property which met my requirements. I don’t think I would have been able to act so definitively on my own.
Thanks so much Alex and Karin! It was a great experience working with you.
