Callum Razak Real Estate

87 Riverside Dr, Whakatane | SOLD

My buyers swiped right and it was a match!

This property had been on the market a couple of times without any takers. Anna kept the relationship with her vendors and set up an off-market listing.

It was love at first sight! And now a new chapter begins for both parties.

This one was about helping a purchaser well beyond simply finding a property.

Living out of town, they were preparing to bid at auction and needed a little local support along the way. I connected them with trusted tradespeople for advice around the renovation plans and, when auction day arrived, helped guide them through the bidding process by phone. They had a clear vision to renovate and add value to the property, while also being mindful of maintaining a positive relationship with the existing tenants.

A great example of how having the right local support can make the whole property journey that much easier.

A wonderful journey…

Back in 2023, I first met these purchasers when I helped them into their first rental here in Coastlands.

Fast forward to late August this year, and we crossed paths again at an open home. We had a good chat, but it quickly became clear that property wasn’t quite what they were looking for.

Then, just a week later, I launched 24 Ferry Road and they were ALL GO!

They brought their solicitor along to the very first open home, and we were drafting an offer almost straight afterwards. After a bit of back and forth and some negotiations over the next 24 hours, they were officially under contract!

As first-home buyers, there were a few conditions to work through, but they were incredibly proactive throughout the process. By getting everything sorted quickly, we were able to go unconditional sooner than expected which also triggered the conditions on the vendors next purchase - watch this space!

From helping them into their first rental back in 2023, to now helping them into their first home… this is exactly why I love what I do.

It’s not always just about the sale. Sometimes it’s about being part of someone’s property journey and helping them take the next step when the right opportunity comes along.

A great example of the full property journey.

I originally managed these flats for the vendor while they were living out of town, building a strong relationship through clear communication and making sure the property and tenants were well looked after.

When the time came to sell, I was trusted with the next step. There was a little navigation required around the tenancies, but with good communication we were able to make it work and ultimately introduce a buyer through another agent within our sales team. A great result for everyone involved and watch this space, because this property is about to get a serious renovation!

Huge amount of interest throughout the campaign for this investment opportunity.

Congratulations to our purchaser who plans to keep the tenants in their home and renovate over the coming months - watch this space!
