This client had been living in Melbourne for many years but moved to Brisbane to expand their business before Covid. Both our client and his spouse had always aspired to own their property, a place to call home! Although they already had an investment property in Melbourne, they weren’t very familiar with the property market in Brisbane. Being busy with their business, they decided to entrust us to assist them!

Initially, they planned to find properties in the Paddington and Ashgrove areas. Despite interest rate increases, property prices hadn’t seen a significant drop. So, we started helping them explore other areas that fit their budget and met their desired property layout. During the property search and viewings, we provided many renovation suggestions and tips for buying a house. In contrast, some agents only focus on highlighting current offers received or how many buyers are interested, which can easily make buyers anxious and lead to overbidding.

 After a month of effort, we finally found a beautiful property for them in Wavell Heights. It was a house with a Victorian architectural style, four bedrooms made of double brick, a swimming pool, and an equally impressive Granny Flat. The view from the house was of the swimming pool, and when the client’s elders came to visit, they could enjoy their private space while watching the private swimming pool across, which was especially refreshing!

 When buying this beautiful house, the other party’s agent was not very willing to include additional finance clauses as they didn’t want to waste time. However, this didn’t provide assurance to our client, so we insisted on including this clause to ensure our client received formal loan approval before proceeding with the contract. At that time, the other agent gave us only five days, coincidentally during a public holiday period. Knowing how much our client and his spouse, and even their family elders loved this house, after a strenuous effort, we finally secured formal loan approval for our client at the very last moment, allowing them to purchase the property unconditionally.

 We are delighted that we were able to overcome obstacles and help the client buy their dream home. This is part of our daily work and the challenges we face as Buyer’s Agents.

【排除萬難終於買到心頭好】

這位客人在Melbourne住了多年，在Covid之前搬了來Brisbane開展生意。他跟他的太太一直渴望擁有自己的物業，一個安樂窩！雖然他在Melbourne已經擁有一間投資物業，但始終對Brisbane的物業市場不太熟悉，而且他們都忙於經營生意，於是決定委託我們幫手！

起初，他們計劃找在Paddington和Ashgrove等一帶地區的物業，雖然加了息，但樓價也未見明顯下跌。所以我們開始幫他們看看其他地區，符合預算又符合他們心目中要求間隔的屋。在搵屋和睇屋的過程，我們提供了不少裝修建議和買屋要注意的事項。相比之下，有些經紀只會吹捧一下當前收到的出價，或有多少買家願意出價，這樣很容易令買家感到焦急而出價過高。

經過一個月的努力，我們終於為他們在Wavell Heights找到這間帶有維多利亞式建築風格，擁雙磚4房連游泳池的獨立屋，還有同樣氣派的祖母房(Granny Flat)，對出觀景更加是游泳池，當客人的長輩來到居住，除了享有私人空間，看著對面的私人游泳池格外醒神！

在購買這間漂亮房子時，對方Agent由於不想浪費時間，所以不太願意買家加上額外的Finance條款。這樣對我們的客人並沒有保障，所以我們堅持要加上這項條款，確保我們的客人獲得正式的貸款批核後才繼續合約。但當時對方Agent只給我們五天時間，而剛好正正是公眾假期期間。由於得知客人和他的太太，甚至他們一家的長輩都很喜歡這所房子，經歷了一番艱辛的努力，我們在最後一刻跟對方Agent，Solicitor，甚至直接聯絡貸款經紀的經理，在多番周旋之下，客人終於在最後關頭成功獲得正式貸款，順利在無條件(unconditional)下購買這間物業。

我們很慶幸最終能為客人排除萬難，買到心頭好。這亦是我們作為Buyer’s Agent 的工作日常和面對的任務。
