After more than 40 years in their Frenchs Forest family home, our clients had been thinking about downsizing for several years. When the time felt right, they approached our team with a clear goal: maximise the value of their home so they would have more options when purchasing their next property.
This was more than simply selling a property. It was about helping them prepare a much-loved family home for the market and making the transition to their next chapter as smooth as possible.
Taking the time to prepare
We worked with our clients over several months while they completed a pool renovation, then helped coordinate the next stage of preparation. Our team connected them with trusted trades and professionals to assist with painting, cleaning, styling and the compliance requirements needed before going to market.
Having lived in the property for more than four decades, there was plenty to consider. Rather than rushing the process, we focused on the improvements and presentation that would help buyers see the home at its best.
A result above expectations
Once the property was ready, we launched the sales campaign with the aim of creating strong buyer interest and maximising the final result.
The home sold after just 22 days on the market, achieving a price above our clients’ expectations and putting them in a stronger position to downsize into the area they wanted.
For our clients, the result was about more than the sale price. They described working with Darren, Julia and the JDH team as a positive experience for their family, particularly valuing the patience, professional contacts and support provided throughout the preparation and sale.
If you have been thinking about downsizing but are unsure where to begin, talk to our team. We can help you plan the preparation, sale and next steps well before your home reaches the market.
