This lovely family home, situated in a whisper quiet cul-de-sac in the ever popular coastal suburb of Ocean Reef would be a popular home in it’s own right.

However, what makes this home really special, is not the huge block, amazing entertaining area or sparkling pool, which are amazing! It is the self-contained granny flat, completely sperate from the main house, this one bedroom, one bathroom with open plan dining, meals and kitchen is such a rare find.

The family home presents very well, open plan living comprising of a large kitchen, family meals and lounge, a semi open games room and a formal lounge and dining and a separate home office (big enough to be a 5th bedroom).

The Timeline

Seller Goals

These really beautiful sellers were retired, and they were planning on downsizing to release some equity and live a maintenance free life 😊 The goals where clear, maximise every dollar possible and find a new home to downsize too. There was a fine line to make it viable on this one.

Property Preparation

This home was a lovey home in Ocean Reef with a granny flat but was a 1970’s build and was completely original throughout, exposed brick, old light fittings. The focus was to modernise on a small budget, my painter and electrician went in helped bring a brighter and more modern feel throughout.

Marketing

In order to get the best price, we needed to present and market this home as the best! This is what I love doing, marketing and boy we did a great job this time around, with it’s updated feel throughout it really did come up well. Over 2 visits I noted every detail, created a detailed description that separated bullet point features and core value that we know buyers would respond to. Our excellent professionals did a video, 3d tour, plan and extensive drone shots highlighting its location to the ocean and beaches. Flags, directional boards decorated the suburb, when combined and launched in one strategic effort the impact was amazing.

Bringing in the Buyers

We launched and had a goal of around $1.1million. Feedback around the 1970’s kitchen and bathroom really became a sticking point, there was an expectation that it would be raised but it became very clear the cost of updating the property was out of where we were aiming. Home open after home open went by and we would have the same buyer discussions. The cost of renovating is prohibitive. We stayed strong, had amazing and supportive sellers and when we got the buyer, I made sure we did not lose them.

Negotiating

The final offer was successfully negotiated at $1,060,000, with a buyer who knew how to play hardball 😊. With all the feedback the realisation was clear that this was in fact a fabulous offer and the sellers were very happy to be so close to their original goal. I helped them buy in Jindalee and if I could clone these clients I would.

The Seller's Thoughts

"Peter Parsons from day one was the standout agent for the sale of our house. Peter Parsons was recommended to us by Open Agent along with two other agents, to interview. My wife & I chose Peter Parsons, as the person we would like to be involved with to sell our house. From day one, Peter Parsons was the standout agent and as time progressed, he was easy to deal with and very professional. His knowledge of the market allowed us to obtain our desired price plus a little more. He works for his client and makes no apology for seeking out the maximum price the market can pay. Peter is very ably assisted by Frances Fry who assists with home open for inspections. The two of them are an awesome team and my wife and I highly recommend them to any potential clients."

The master is an impressive size with ensuite and WIR, 3 further large bedrooms and a neat and tidy bathroom and laundry.

Low maintenance living with a brick paved back garden, pitched roof patio that separates the main home from the granny flat and a below ground pool. With a double remote carport and rear access, extensive security on the windows and doors as well as a split aircon system in the living area and in the granny flat there is so much to love about this home.
