We first met these Frenchs Forest homeowners in 2013, when we sold them the original house before they transformed it into their dream family home.
More than a decade later, they approached JDH Real Estate as they wanted to downsize their home and mortgage while remaining in the area they loved. Achieving the highest possible sale price would give them more options when purchasing their next property.
Preparing for a premium result
The owners contacted us several months before they were ready to sell, while completing a renovation of the pool area.
Once the work was finished, we connected them with trusted professionals to assist with painting, cleaning and styling. This allowed the home to be prepared carefully and presented in a way that highlighted its quality, space and family appeal.
The objective was not simply to bring the property to market. The goal was to create the right conditions to achieve a record result.
Managing a sale and purchase together
The other challenge was coordinating the sale with the purchase of their next home.
Buying and selling in the same market can feel uncertain, particularly when the result of one transaction shapes the budget for the other. The JDH Real Estate team worked closely with the owners throughout the campaign, providing clear feedback and helping them make informed decisions as both processes progressed.
A record result in 26 days
The Frenchs Forest property sold after 26 days on the market, achieving a record price above the owners’ expectations.
The strong result gave them the flexibility they needed to downsize their mortgage and secure their next home in the area they wanted. Just as importantly, the buying and selling process remained smooth and well managed throughout.
The owners later shared that Darren, Julia and the team made selling their Frenchs Forest home such a positive experience. Our team’s professionalism, preparation and guidance helped our clients achieve an amazing result.
