Property Buyers WA – Case Study 1

November 10th, 2009

lux2Case Study 1 – Dentist:

You wouldn’t consider doing your own dentistry or legal representation – you outsource to a professional. When it comes to very important property decisions this time poor Perth professional recognized the value in engaging a property buyer to assist them.

James who is busy running a private dental practice, recently appointed us to assist him with his property search after months of frustration. He works very long hours and any spare time he has is precious. The little leisure time he has on weekends was being spent hunting for a property. “When I discovered that the Herron Todd White Property Advisors could take this off my hands I was delighted. I did not know such a service even existed until one of my colleagues informed me. My mind was at ease knowing that whilst I was at work focusing on what I do best I had a professional team dedicated to searching down a property that matched in with my brief. I was only allocating a few hours a week trying to find my property and getting frustrated with the time I spent taking calls from agents regarding a property that sounded like a match only to be disappointed .The HTW Property Advisor team search 7 days a week for the right opportunity and only interrupted me when the right opportunity presented– as a result I was able to achieve a great result without the frustrations I was experiencing”

When the right match was found they supported me through the negotiation stage and right through to settlement. Apart from an initial planning meeting they took care of everything on my behalf. This professional representation gave me confidence when I could not give the time needed. I did not want to make a costly mistake out of frustration so having a buyer’s agent was like having your own personal property body guard.

lux4-660Case Study 2 – Renae, Recently divorced!

When I was married, my former husband generally looked after the finances in our family. Big decisions were always made together. However when we recently separated I was faced with the daunting task of re-entering the property market. I had many friends who were prepared to use their property expertise to assist me with my decision making – lots of my friends were property experts it appeared! Who do we get the right advice from?

One of my friends introduced me to Rob and Daren at Herron Todd White Property Advisors. I sat down with them for an hour to talk through my fears and property thoughts moving forward. They really challenged my thinking and the plan that I had gone into the meeting with was somewhat different when I left their office.

It was not long before they had been able to execute the plan that we had developed. It was great to see the team in action. I would have been hopeless trying to negotiate with the agent. Apart from them educating me in selecting the right property they were able to negotiate a lot lower price than I would have imagined.

It was a huge relief for me knowing that I had found an independent property professional that could give me the confidence and leadership that I needed at the time. Making a bad decision would have really set me back.

Property Buyers WA – Case Study 3

luxCase Study 3 -  Check and Acquire

Some of us love hunting around for our next dream property, searching on the net or doing a tour of the home opens on a Saturday.  However, when you do find that property that you like there are many questions on your mind.  What is the current market worth of the property?  Have I done all of my homework?  What conditions should I put into the contract to protect myself?  Is this the right decision to make?  Is there a better opportunity?  I am sure we have all experience the sleepless night following the submission of an offer to purchase- commonly known a buyer’s remorse.   Well what if there was an independent property expert that could take this pressure off you!  Brad and Janine were so glad they used the service and in fact the service well and truly paid for itself.

As we were looking for our new family home we had some particular styles that we liked and we were happy to allocate some time to finding the right property for us.  We were nervous of making a mistake so we used HTW Property Advisors to assist and we are so glad we did.  Once we found our dream home they came over to the house to inspect – a bit like getting an RAC check on that car you bought.  They did a full due diligence on the property and then wrote up the offer with some carefully worded conditions.  They  negotiated on our behalf – it is so advantageous having someone doing this that buys property every week as opposed to every 7 years!  .  We would have never thought to put these types of conditions in when buying a property but in the end it actually saved us over $25,000.  They uncovered that the back wall to the garage was not council approved and the seller had rebuild the wall.  Imagine if we were unaware and when we came to sell we ended up having to wear this cost!

What the experience taught me was that you don’t know what you don’t know.  There are so many aspects to buying that can be covered by a carefully worded contract in order to protect you.  It is crazy that we tend not to seek professional advise when making one of the most expensive purchases of our lifetime!
