The Story
Our client had a clear idea of what they wanted, but as a first-time buyer in a busy market, they were overwhelmed by the buying process. Good properties were selling fast and our client felt that estate agents were inflating the prices by encouraging ‘best and final bids’. We ended up offering on the first property we found and, like every good property that was being sold, we had to bid against other buyers. But thanks to our relationship with the selling agent we were able to present our client as the best possible candidate and secure the sale, despite offering the same figure as another buyer. This working relationship held us in good stead throughout the buying process as issues came up, including a renegotiation on the price after a building survey.
What the client said
"I would highly recommend engaging Jamie and Gabbie. Not knowing the ins and outs of the property market, I found their advice invaluable for purchasing my house - from negotiating the price, guiding me through the building inspection report, to asking for reductions that I would never have considered possible! Their follow-up was super helpful, and ability to be calm and find solutions at a highly stressful time gave me the peace of mind I needed. I can’t thank them enough!"
