Clarity - Assess - Value - Negotiate Process

A good buying decision means a better home (you didn't miss it to another buyer) or more money in your bank (you didn't pay too much and you still bought the home) or an option you never even considered (an off market or better alternative). Every home you look at requires decisions, so why not make them good ones. To make better decisions we have found a process that really works. So whether we are buying a Carpenter St Brighton investment in 1994 for $350,000 and selling it for $2,250,000 in 2005 or a single fronted in Highbury Grove Prahran for $1,000,000 (2007) and the client selling for $1,500,000 + (2012) when much of the market remained flat, we followed a process. When we acted for the government on a $31,000,000 initial asking price in Torquay that we bought for under $13,000,000 we followed a process - and one that works.
