You’ve worked hard and now the time has come for you to celebrate a new phase. I am privileged to be in the position to help you make this transition into the home you’ve always dreamed of owning. Whether it’s your forever home, a first home or an upgrade from where you started, my team and I are here to help you move from dreaming it, to living it.
My Start To Settlement service is a personalised experience for buyers who are time-poor and value partnering with a professional.
Finding the right home can be a tedious task and when you’re already busy, the thought of stepping through the complex house-hunting process can be overwhelming, reinforcing you to put these exciting plans on hold. Some buyers get lucky and find their perfect home within weeks, whereas for most, the journey can stretch out many months. If you’re picky about what the perfect home looks and feels like for you (like I am), it is completely normal for the process to take more than just a few weeks. When the weeks roll into months and you still haven’t found The One, we understand it can be tempting to give up on the search altogether, and this is exactly the moment you need an experienced cheerleader by your side who can reignite the journey.
Together, we will create a one page Buyer Brief that describes your Ideal Home – what it looks like + where it is located and how you intend to live in the space. This will act as our roadmap when we begin the house-hunt.
My team and I co-ordinate all the groundwork for you and short-list homes that match your Brief. We set up alerts to all key real estate portals so our bases are covered when new properties are listed. We regularly reach out to our local agent network to intercept new properties as they come to market and if your ideal home is unique and specific, we short-list homes in the areas of choice and approach the property owners directly and with discretion. You will receive a personalised Weekly Search Report at the end of each week, detailing our progress.
We personally inspect each property that is considered for purchase. We take photos and videos of the home for you to view at your leisure, with a view to showcasing the true nature and condition of the property, rather than relying on the photoshopped images used in the online marketing. Wendy personally inspects all homes that are intended for purchase.
When we find a home that could be the One, my team and I will prepare complete due diligence, including various property reports, searches, and a comprehensive market analysis that indicate the estimated worth of the home, what you should (and shouldn’t pay) and whether there are any obvious red flags present.
I’ll represent your best interests in all negotiations. Simply, my focus is to strategically secure the home for the least amount possible, on terms that best suit you.
My team and I will co-ordinate all required property inspections where necessary. We can put you in touch with our tried, tested (and most importantly) trusted inspectors and professions so you can be sure you are aligning with the best in the business.
Your Contract documents will be managed throughout the settlement period in conjunction with your nominated legal representative. Although we understand that once Contracts are signed, the purchase becomes that of a legal nature, my team and I will oversee all aspects where possible to ensure the purchase progresses smoothly through to settlement.
At settlement, we conduct an on-site pre-settlement inspection of the home. We coordinate with your legal team to ensure the exchange process is seamless, and my team arrange key collection, connection of services + we engage cleaners, maintenance contractors and various trades to help with your move and prepare your home for your arrival.
