How To Successfully Complete A Two Stage Transaction - Selling / Buying Another Home

Rory came highly recommended by a good friend after several months of us trying to sell our home without success with another agent. He spent many hours getting to know us and explained how the house would be listed and marketed. He took extra care to analyse the market to make sure that our home was priced properly and that all the best features were listed. He made accurate measurements and took photos to show the house to its best advantage.

Even in a quiet market period, he arranged showings to have multiple people coming through at the same time. This relieved us from last minute phone calls and hurried tidying up for one potential buyer and got people excited. Within the first week, we received 3 offers to purchase.

When the prospective purchasers came for the home inspection, Rory was there to answer any questions the prospects had, or called us on the cell phone for answers. When a concern arose with the inspection results, he arranged for a minor repair to be done by a contractor which met the prospects satisfaction. Without him being there the deal could have collapsed. We had a firm and binding agreement within two weeks.

When the purchase offer was accepted and all subjects removed, he assisted us to look for a new home. We received emails with current new listings from Rory and the website had a feedback section where we could comment and select the properties we wanted to view.

From his vast experience and knowing what our preferences were, he assisted in pointing out the good and bad aspects of each home viewed. When it came to making an offer, Rory ensured that all possible conditions were addressed. He came to the home inspection and suggested several repairs be made by the homeowner.

He arranged the closing and possession dates of the sale to bracket the closing and possession dates of the purchase. No bridge financing was needed as the funds were transferred in plenty of time. Prior to the new home possession we had plenty of time to have 2 garage sales and complete the packing.

On moving day, Rory was there to make sure the new owners received the keys on time. As our movers were still packing up, he even rolled up his sleeves and assisted with some of the cleanup.

Rory established such good rapport with both the purchasers and sellers that our move was as seamless as any house move could be. From the time the old house was listed to the signing of the purchase of the new home was a total of four weeks.

He arranged the closing and possession dates of the purchase to coincide with the closing and possession dates of the sale. No bridge financing was needed as our sales proceeds were applied to the purchase. Prior to the new home possession we had plenty of time to have two garage sales and complete the packing.

On moving day, Rory was there to make sure the new owners received the keys on time. As our movers were still packing up, he even rolled up his sleeves and assisted with some of the cleanup.

Rory established such good rapport with both the purchasers and sellers that our dual move was as seamless as any house move could be. From the time the old house was listed to the signing of the purchase of the new home was a total of four weeks.

We highly recommend Rory’s services, and if your move involves the sale of your home and the purchase of another, or any other issue, he will skilfully look after all transactions, while protecting your interests, as he did for us.
