12 Essential Strategies To Help You Win In Melbourne Real Estate

I had chosen a house but was unsure about whether or how much to offer pre auction. As soon as i contacted Chris he talked me through the process of auction. He talked to the vendor agent and got the skinny on the competition. He arranged the building inspection, got a deal on the contract so i only had to pay 5% deposit. When I was trying to work out how much to pay he listened while I babbled and talked me through how to think rationally about it. I was so nervous I would have been a mess at the bidding. I didn’t go to the actual auction but sent my sister to observe. Chris slowed the bidding down and got it for me. He’s followed up with contacting the agent about some concerns I had and is still giving me advice about what I need to get in place pre settlement. Chris took so much of the stress from the nerve wracking process of house buying. Thank you so much Chris . Definitely, definitely worth every cent

Claire was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process. We had previously been looking for approximately 18 months and due to time constraints could not keep up the search ourselves. We engaged Ian Reid Buyers Advocates and Claire made the whole process seamless and kept us up to date during the entire journey to buy our house.

Sue Woollard helped us achieve an excellent result at auction, we could not be happier. With a difficult lead up to the sale, Sue was there for us every step of the way, providing guidance and support. She took the time to explain the detail of each step, introducing us to an excellent agent and being there for us 7 days a week. We could not recommend Ian Reid, and Sue in particular any higher – when we sell or buy again, Sue will be the first person we contact.

Have to hand it to this team – from day one when we got them engaged and we saddled up with Simon Watkin for a sprint to the finish on buying a property – right through to when we were at the last stages of the deal.

In summary, Simon helped us get a deal done within a 5 day window.

From the outset Simon set the game plan out very clearly – understood our position, the nature of the property in question, the transaction requirements and then, set the key steps to formulating the basis for decisions and the path forward: including his liaison with the vendor’s agent.

Communication was excellent throughout, as was timeliness to attending to the site visit at short notice and liaison with us during the entire process (including the bid date admin/support).

We highly recommend the peace of mind we gained from Simon’s support and commitment…. very personal and professional!
