Who
A builder, referred to us by a mortgage broker. Not a family looking for a home — a professional looking for a site.
— The story
How Jake secured this home
Client brief
A complete knockdown on the eastern side of a specific Palm Beach pocket, to make way for a luxury build. The requirements were a developer's requirements: the right side of the right street, land that justified the build cost, and a purchase price that left margin in the project. He wanted it off market.
Journey
This is the kind of brief that never gets satisfied by a portal search. We went directly to our sales agent relationships in Palm Beach and worked the pocket from the inside, identifying a site that fit the criteria and negotiating it off market — no campaign, no competing offers, no premium paid for the privilege of bidding. Secured under market value, eight weeks from engagement to purchase.
Budget result
Purchased under budget.
Outcome
An off-market knockdown site in the exact pocket he was targeting, bought below market, with the margin in the project protected at acquisition rather than hoped for at completion. The luxury build is now complete.
