Who
A young couple with a son, relocated from Sydney and already renting in Palm Beach. They knew the suburb because they were living in it — this was about converting a rental into a permanent home rather than gambling on a place they'd only visited. The husband is a builder.
Client brief
A family home in Palm Beach that needed work. With the husband's trade, a renovator wasn't a fallback — it was the point. They wanted a house they could shape into their own over time, in the suburb they'd already decided to stay in.
Journey
Palm Beach family homes at a renovator's price don't sit on the market waiting. We went direct to a seller off market, brought the clients through privately, and negotiated the purchase without a campaign, without competition, and without the price escalation that comes with both.
Budget result
Purchased under budget.
Outcome
An off-market family home in the suburb they were already living in, bought under budget — with the difference going straight into the renovation.
