Entry Level Apartment in a Prime Location with City Views
Buyer found: Realestate.com.au
Under Bidder: Realestate.com.au
The Plan
Amanda & Gav purchased the apartment and called it home for almost 12 years. Looking to upsize Amanda & Gav purchased another property from Ray White West End and then prepared the property for sale which included professionally staged the apartment
An auction campaign was chosen, as achieving the best price in the market, on the best terms was important to Amanda & Gav. Timing was not. A 30 day settlement was preferred, however settlement dates were flexible
The Process
An extensive marketing campaign was planned including professional photography, professional staging and 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 apartments in West End & Highgate Hill in the last 90 days with budgets between $450,000 – $600,000 through Ray White West End, was also a key marketing strategy.
Following a comprehensive four week auction campaign, 135+ buyer inspections, the property sold at auction for $700,00 and well above the owners expectations. The competition of the auction was core in achieving the best price in the market. The buyer paid a premium at auction to secure the property
The Result
Nadia , the buyer, was 1 of 22 registered bidders at the auction. The property and auction attracted many first home buyers, looking to secure their first home. The competition of the auction and the market activity / social proof at open homes was key to Nadia securing the property on terms & conditions acceptable to the Sellers.

Jim Ampelas from the Luke O’Kelly team was fantastic to work with—knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely approachable. His support made my property decision much easier and more informed.
