Suburb Selling Reports reveal the key to selling your home

In this report, Alister King shares his journey of selling his wife’s father’s home after her father passed away. What Alister shares could help you walk away with a sale price far larger than you thought possible.

Best Use sold a Ducie Street, Darra, property for a substantially higher price than the local agent because the local agent didn’t realise the property was suitable for a development site. Best Use sold the property for $650,000. Almost $200,000 more than the original agent’s valuation.

When Glenda Boike pitted four agents against each other to sell her family’s Graceville home she never expected it to sell for $1.075 million. To say she was flabbergasted to receive an offer $75,000 above initial estimates is an understatement. In fact, within a few days she had two offers on the table.

“As soon as we started contacting our database of over 500 developers, we were shocked at how much interest there was in this Boondall property. We received 38 enquiries from developers soon after we started promoting the development potential of this property," says Brad.
