Charm and Space in the Heart of West End
The Plan
Don & Desi called 125 Gray Road, West End home for 46 years. The family home had huge sentimental value and they wanted the home to be sold to a new family that would love & maintain the home as they had.
The Process
Don & Desi believed in the auction process, as achieving the best price in the market, on the best terms was important. Timing was also important, as Don & Desi had planned their move and wanted to make sure everything aligned.
An extensive marketing campaign was implemented including both realestate.com.au and domain, to ensure the property was marketed both locally & interstate. A targeted buyer campaign focused on buyers who had inspected similar houses in 4101 (West End, South Brisbane, Highgate Hill) in the last 90 days with budgets of $2,000,000 – $3,500,000, through Ray White West End, was also a key marketing strategy.
The Result
Following a comprehensive auction campaign, 34 buyer inspections, 4 bidders, the property sold at auction for $2,500,000. The competition of the auction was core in achieving the best price in the market 4.1% above the owners expectations.

Seller's Review
Don Ali
We chose to engage Luke and Jim Ampelas to sell our home. This turned out to be a wise decision. These men were very professional, efficient and took us through all steps of marketing our home. Being involved was important to us. Both men were always approachable and keen to listen and discuss any issue that concerned us. Selling with this team was a pleasure and we thank them and their team for their support.
