Jack and Debbie were introduced to Martelli & Co Buyers Agent through a referral from Regan at Ray White Carpenter who had a professional relationship with Alex and had previously collaborated with Martelli & Co. Recognising Jack and Debbie's busy schedules, and buying together for the first time, Regan recommended they work with Alex for professional guidance to refine their home search criteria and budget.
With a shared love for nature, Jack and Debbie envisioned a home with beautiful green surroundings, privacy, and easy access to outdoor activities like beach walks or bush trails. Their budget allowed for a spacious two-bedroom or modest three-bedroom dwelling in a desirable Auckland north shore location. However, finding a property that met their criteria without significant renovation needs proved challenging. Many listings they encountered had issues such as asbestos, dampness, or structural concerns.
Through a good relationship with an agent, Alex found a home that was yet to go to market and in the final stages of being renovated.The home was perfect for Jack and Debbie; it boasted two bedrooms plus a study and was elevated in a leafy, quiet position. The home was meticulously renovated and was exceptionally sturdy and well built. Securing the property before its official market debut allowed Jack and Debbie to bypass the stress of competitive bidding. It also provided room for negotiation, ensuring terms favorable to both the buyers and vendors. This collaborative approach allowed a smooth transaction and meant Jack and Debbie could secure their ideal home, surrounded by the natural beauty they desired, sooner.
Great working with Blair Konik at Harcourts on this deal.
"We engaged Alex to help us find a comfortable but reasonably priced home as we were first time buyers. Alex was very knowledgeable of the real estate market, bringing appropriate properties to our attention while steering us away from those with potential negatives. Also extremely knowledgeable of real estate law and practices to help us through the closing process. Very helpful and recommended to simplify the buying process."
