Only about 7min away, buying my old man's place Yesterday was unreal - had 19 different parties through the house, 5 offers straight up, and contract signed last night...only been on the market since Mon pm Absolutely over the moon with the result, was having a bit of a sh*t arvo doing an install job for my brother-in-law at birkenhead point but the agent calling me with the figure around 4pm made my day... Final figure was about $80K over what I hoped for, the agent is a freak...only charges a flat (cheap) fee, no advertising $$$ BS, works for the vendor (like an agent should) and gets max dollars out of the buyer. As I pointed out, the house had only been on the market since Mon pm. The market in this area has slowed in the last 1-2 months, have a mate who lives around the corner also selling, a bit nicer house, asking slightly higher figures, has been up for sale for about 6 weeks now with one of the common large agent groups who promised much and have delivered zero, no proper bites/negotiations yet and he is locked into a 90 day deal (bad move). But I can't speak highly enough of my agent, he has an awesome client database, makes good contact with prospects BEFORE an open house and negotiates HARD when they view. He makes his low flat fee worthwhile by selling quickly and getting extremely happy vendors such as myself who can't help but recommend him (I got his details from friends of friends who recently sold for awesome figures). I would genuinely recommend anybody who is thinking of selling anywhere in west or southwest Sydney to give him a call. PM for details, not sure how this blatant plug will go down with mods as it is...
