We were assisting a lovely family from the Gold Coast, for whom we had previously secured a successful investment property. This time, their focus had shifted to finding their forever family home in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. The brief was exceptionally specific and required a very patient and targeted approach. They were searching for a property with significant usable, flat acreage—a key requirement as they needed the land to be suitable for a range of purposes and to have the flexibility to accommodate multi-generational living down the track. Their needs extended beyond just a house and land; they required a very specific type of property with particular zoning and utilities.
We believe that a successful search for a niche property is not about rushing but about persistence and deep market knowledge. This is where our expertise in the Hinterland market truly shines.
Phase 1: A Targeted and Patient Search
Finding the perfect property that met all of these very specific needs took time and persistence. We identified a few properties that were close, but our intimate understanding of the market and the clients’ long-term vision allowed us to advise them to hold out for the ideal match, rather than settling for something that was “pretty good.” This patience was crucial. When the right property in Glenview did become available, we knew instantly it was the one. It met every point of their specific brief, from the usable acreage to the zoning and the potential for their future plans.
Phase 2: Expert Guidance Beyond the Standard Report
The property was being sold through an online auction campaign. We provided our clients with a full due diligence report, which is particularly important for acreage properties. Given our experience with the acreage lifestyle, we were able to provide valuable insights beyond the standard report, discussing critical factors like fencing, water supply, and access, as well as the ongoing maintenance implications of different landscape types. This in-depth knowledge was a significant advantage in helping the clients understand the full scope of the property.
Phase 3: Strategic Post-Auction Negotiation
Following a competitive online auction, we were able to secure the property in post-auction negotiations. By having a clear understanding of the market, the property’s unique value, and the dynamics of the sales campaign, we successfully negotiated a favorable outcome for our clients.
The clients were absolutely thrilled. We were able to secure a fantastic asset that perfectly met their long-term goals for a family home, a strategic investment, and a future retirement location. We were able to:
