Behind the sale: This house sold for $730,000
When it comes to selling homes, most people only see the end result – what the property sold for and how much it went up in value. But there’s so much more to the sale of a property than the dollar amount (and commission).
Sales don’t happen overnight. Yes, some properties sell fast, but the relationship and work that goes into any real estate deal starts months, if not years, earlier. And not all sales go to plan.
Ayden Lloyd’s recent sale at 25 Blue Gum Street in Mount Barker is one such example.
No two sales stories are ever the same and some are grittier than others. In this case, after a two-week sales campaign, we had a signed contract, which was an awesome result. But the buyers’ finance fell through at the last minute, so had to go back out to the market.
However, instead of starting from scratch, we reached out to everyone we spoke to during the campaign to see if they were still interested – as well as collaborating with our property management team to source warm investors.
We ended up showing the property to three groups within two days after the sale fell through, and ended up with two competitive offers on a Friday. By the next day, we had a signed contract, at exactly the same price as the original deal.
The seller was thrilled, and it all happened quickly, with a lot of work across the team in order to get the outcome. 25 Blue Gum Street is a good example of Nitschke’s investor support and integrated approach across departments.
Having the right team in place matters when things don’t go to plan, which they often don’t in real estate. Our sales and property management departments don’t operate in silos. One supports the other.
We don’t just sell or manage properties. We solve problems.
