Helping Interstate Clients Secure the Perfect Brisbane Property
At Property Pursuit, we pride ourselves on helping clients overcome complex challenges in the Brisbane property market. When a family from interstate approached us for assistance, they were facing several hurdles in their quest to secure a quality home for their son, who was moving to Brisbane for university.
The Brisbane market was moving at lightning speed, with well-priced homes often selling within days of listing. Being based out of state, our clients found it difficult to compete. They couldn’t inspect properties in person before they were snapped up and were struggling to get timely responses from agents. On top of this, they lacked clear guidance on where to buy or how to determine a reasonable price in Brisbane’s competitive market.
This is where we stepped in, offering our expertise in market analysis, local insight, and access to exclusive off-market properties to guide them through the process.
Understanding Our Clients’ Needs
Our clients had a specific brief: they needed a 3-bedroom apartment or townhouse for their son, which could also serve as a comfortable base for their own visits to Brisbane. Importantly, the property needed the flexibility to allow for renting out a room, creating an ideal mix of lifestyle and investment.
Key requirements for the property included:
– Strong long-term capital growth potential
– Proximity to public transport
– Easy access to shops, cafes, and lifestyle amenities
– Spacious living areas with good accessibility and parking
– A modern, low-maintenance design
– Smaller complex with low Body Corporate fees
– Located in a safe, flood-free area
After discussing their goals, we developed a tailored strategy to address their challenges and achieve their objectives.
A Tailored Approach: Leveraging Local Expertise
We began with an in-depth consultation to refine their search parameters and educate them on the Brisbane property market. From there, we proactively sourced properties that matched their criteria, leveraging our extensive agent network to access both listed and off-market opportunities.
For two weeks, we provided virtual tours via FaceTime and video calls to help the clients assess potential properties remotely. Each shortlisted property was accompanied by detailed market analysis, allowing the clients to make informed decisions despite the distance.
Realizing the importance of seeing properties in person, the clients arranged a visit to Brisbane. We maximized their time on the ground, greeting them at the airport and spending an entire day inspecting six carefully curated properties that fit their brief. In addition to property tours, we provided a personalized orientation of Brisbane, highlighting suburbs, amenities, and locations relevant to their lifestyle and investment goals.
By the end of the day, two standout options emerged.
Negotiating Success
Our clients quickly decided on their preferred property: a spacious, modern townhouse in a smaller complex, perfectly located near public transport and vibrant lifestyle amenities. It ticked every box: a safe, flood-free area, low-maintenance design, and excellent potential for capital growth.
Within 24 hours of their visit, we successfully negotiated the purchase, securing the property at the right price and favorable terms.
Comprehensive Support Throughout the Journey
Our commitment to our clients didn’t end with securing the property. We provided ongoing support to ensure a smooth and seamless process, from pre-purchase to post-settlement.
This included:
– Virtual property tours: Video calls and detailed walkthroughs of potential properties, helping them assess options remotely.
– Agent and professional coordination: Video conferences with the selling agent, building and pest inspectors, and maintenance professionals to address any questions or concerns.
– Transaction management: Close collaboration with their financier and conveyancer/solicitor to ensure all aspects of the transaction progressed without delays.
– Pre-settlement support: Detailed photos and videos documenting maintenance issues and ensuring all agreed-upon fixes were addressed before settlement.
– Referrals for ongoing needs: We introduced our clients to reliable cleaning services for property upkeep and referred them to an interior designer who assisted with furniture selection and property outfitting before their son moved in.
A Happy Outcome
Our clients were thrilled with the result. Not only did they secure a high-quality property that perfectly met their son’s needs, but they also had the peace of mind that they had made a sound investment in Brisbane’s thriving property market.
This case study highlights the importance of having an expert advocate on your side when navigating the complexities of purchasing property from interstate. By leveraging our deep market knowledge, local relationships, and comprehensive service offerings, we were able to turn what started as a daunting process into a seamless and successful experience.
