The Details
After returning to Sydney from Hong Kong and trying to find a home, this family were frustrated that they were not seeing all the properties available.
Being time poor and frustrated they engaged Nicky and Mark from BuyEast to assist them with their search. Their brief was to find their forever home. With the location brief quite flexible, we searched from Vaucluse to North Randwick to find a house that was centrally located to work and private schools, in walking distance of amenities and had a leafy outlook.
Over 40 properties were inspected, and a handful were shortlisted. The Queens Park home was a definite favourite. Our clients were the only buyers to inspect the property which was totally off-market. It ticked all their requirements plus more.
With some thorough analysis of comparable sales the buyers were able to understand what the property was worth. Also using BuyEast contacts – a full building and pest inspection were conducted immediately.
“We used BuyEast to help find our forever family home. Nicky and Mark were
a pleasure to deal with and we are very happy with the property we purchased. It took us about 6 months to find it but their enthusiasm and commitment never wavered. Their experience also proved valuable during the negotiating process. I have no hesitation in recommending BuyEast. ”

The Details
Tom and Laura engaged BuyEast to find them a home in the East for when they returned from the USA. With a strong US dollar, and the Sydney market struggling with new mortgage restrictions, it was an ideal time to purchase a property.
After a discovery process and inspecting numerous properties on and off-market, this Rose Bay home was identified as a great opportunity. As our clients were overseas, all inspections were conducted via Facetime and video. A solid family home in a quiet, tree-lined street the property was initially over our client’s budget.
Using strong relationships and a clever strategy, Mark was able to negotiate a sale price that was within our clients budget. Tom and Laura were thrilled when they were ale to come to Sydney and walk through their new future home.
“My wife and I are currently located overseas and looking to move back to Sydney within the next couple of years, but we wanted to secure a family home before moving back. We were recommended BuyEast by a friend and they did a fantastic job helping us secure a dream home. Mark and Cortney were amazing throughout the whole process and took much of the stress out of the home search and negotiation. Being located abroad we couldn’t have done it without them. We are delighted with our new home and would highly recommend BuyEast!!! ”
