Quick Snapshot

This once-neglected terrace, held for 10 years with zero updates, became a cash generator unlocking $305K in extra equity in just four weeks. Our Vendor Advocacy and staging expertise turned an untouched investment into the funding engine for their dream corner-block home.

Meet the Client

“Mark” (name changed), a busy professional duo with a growing family, purchased this terrace a decade ago as a hands-off investment and never touched it, until they fell for a larger corner-block gem.

The Challenge

With just four weeks on the clock, we had zero room for a drawn-out campaign.

  • Present the home beautifully with minimal renovation.

  • Attract serious off-market buyers without a public listing.

  • Synchronise settlement timing to fund the new purchase seamlessly.

My Strategy

At our core, we combined rapid presentation, targeted outreach, and precise timing to hit the 14-day mark:

  • Rapid Presentation: Deft styling with neutral palettes + needed facade refresh, accent pieces, and strategic furniture placement.

  • Targeted Network Outreach: Activated our vendor advocate contacts and hand‑picked buyer’s agents to preview the property.

  • Timeline Laser‑Focus: Coordinated staging, inspections, and negotiations within a two‑week window.

What We Did

  • Tenant Coordination: Good timing enabled us to advise the clients to let their tenant move out, providing full access to complete cosmetic touches and staging seamlessly.

  • Property Preparation & Staging: Planned & styled key living areas in 1 week; applied an external chic color scheme to modernize the façade, replacing the once tired orange-brick with a commanding street presence; scheduled pro photography immediately after for the BAs.

  • Buyer Agent Briefing: Delivered in‑depth briefing packs showcasing lifestyle appeal and upside; hosted exclusive off-market inspections.

  • Offer Negotiation: Evaluated multiple bids, secured top net return, and fast‑tracked contract exchange.

  • Sale Completion: Liaised with solicitors and finance teams to wrap the off-market sale in just two weeks, releasing proceeds in time for the new purchase settlement.

"We had never heard of a Vendor Advocacy service before, so we’re grateful a friend introduced us. I never imagined our investment could look this good, and selling off-market in two weeks was simply amazing"
