We Help You Get the Property You Really Want For The Right Price

Where clients find a property that they want to purchase we can inspect and provide an objective evaluation of the property and its value and negotiate for the sale or bid at auction. With this service we will also conduct the pre-settlement inspection. 

When you engage for this services you are guaranteed that you will deal directly with Cathy McGowan, that she will take time to understand your needs and that she will work solely for your best interests and desired results.

The Process …

Inspection

Cathy will inspect the property and report back to you with her objective thoughts and will give you honest feedback, both positive and negative.

Sometimes through inexperience or in the emotion of the process, you may as a buyer overlook issues that aren’t ideal about the property and may impact its value or resale potential. Cathy’s clients can be assured she will give them valuable feedback so they can make an informed purchasing decision and will also provide you with the comfort of estimating a fair price, so as you don’t risk overpaying for the property.

The Process …

Due diligence

As well as ascertaining a fair market value for the property, Cathy will develop a strategy to secure the property and liaise with other trusted professionals in her network to ensure the contract is reviewed and pest and building and /or strata inspections are carried out in a timely manner.

The Process …

Negotiations or auction bidding

A negotiation or auction strategy is based on many factors including who the agent is, the method of sale, buyers and vendors situations, and other properties coming to market. There is no set in stone strategy and many factors need to be taken into account if we are to have success.

The Process …

Contract Exchange

Cathy will facilitate and assist clients to exchange in a timely manner after successful negotiations or auction success. It’s imperative that buyers don’t drop the ball once they get an offer and acceptance, securing the property through exchange of contracts is vital to avoid being gazumped by another buyer or the owner changing their mind. Cathy’s experience and expertise in strategising the timing of the offer and execution of the contracts is an invaluable part of the service not to be overlooked.

The Process …

Settlement

Cathy will conduct the pre-settlement inspection and co-ordinate any additional inspections or trade quotes required post exchange until settlement. Cathy will also assist investor clients with property manager selection before settlement.

Post settlement

Cathy always checks in post-settlement. Cathy loves hearing from clients in the weeks, months and years post-settlement. She truly considers it a privilege to accompany clients on their property purchasing journey and values the relationships formed in this process. So much so that she is always very excited to hear from clients and only too happy to offer ongoing advice and support.
