Heading into retirement, this Gold Coast couple wanted to downsize without the legwork. They wanted someone to run the search, manage the negotiation and take care of the logistics so they could focus on the move itself.
Blue Key found them a three bedroom, two bathroom, two garage home within an easy stroll of the water and local cafes, in a small, quiet complex with low body corporate fees. Comparable sales in the area were sitting around $620,000; this one was negotiated down to $582,000, a $38,000 saving through strategic negotiation.
Beyond the purchase, the team organised the removalist and gave them access to complete the move while the clients relaxed, turning what’s usually a stressful life change into a totally hands off experience. A $750 per week rental appraisal underlines the strength of the buy, should they ever choose to lease it.
The Result:
- Purchase price $582,000, against comparable sales of $620,000
- $38,000 saved through strategic negotiation
- Short stroll to the water and cafe strip
- Removalist coordinated on the clients’ behalf
