Before working with Brook, we’d been searching pretty intensely on our own. We wanted a two-bedroom apartment or townhouse on the Lower North Shore, and we thought we had a good read on the property market. The problem, however, was that homes were selling for prices that were completely different to how we were valuing them.
Getting clarity on value
At first, we were skeptical about buyer’s agents, but a friend gave us a very strong referral to Brook. From the first call, she backed her thinking with data, experience and results she’d achieved for other clients.
I work in consulting and can quickly see who gets things done – and she is an absolute powerhouse. She opened up pre-market opportunities and late-night viewings we wouldn’t have otherwise had access to, and made the process feel much more controlled.
Securing the right property in under a week
In the end, we secured our property in less than a week. Brook inspected around 20 homes, helped us understand value, compare options and avoid any strata issues. Having her there changed the negotiation dynamic completely.
When you think about property values moving around 3% a year, paying around 1% for a buyer’s agent who can help secure the right property, at the right price, is a no-brainer. I’d absolutely recommend Brook.
