Randwick Case Study

One Buyers Agency helps first-time buyers Paul and Sybilla find the perfect Randwick townhouse for their growing family

“One Buyers Agency went the extra mile. They found us amazing off-market properties that we would have never discovered ourselves (and that) we’re not sure other buyers’ agents really knew about.”

As proud parents of one mischievous fur child and an adorable baby girl, eastern suburbs locals Paul and Sybilla knew the time had come for them to make a move to a new home that would better suit their growing family.

They had no experience navigating the challenging real estate market in Sydney’s eastern suburbs and understood that getting a foothold on the local property ladder would be daunting for them as first home buyers.

At first, the couple tried all the usual avenues – scouting through swathes of property portal listings and showing up at endless open houses. Unsurprisingly, after an extended period of frustrating (and fruitless) searching they were no closer to finding the perfect property.

They knew there had to be a better way. And, sure enough, after an introduction from a mutual real estate agent friend, the answer to the couple’s problems materialised in the form of One Buyers Agency’s Grant Levy.

Moving forward with a focused approach

In an industry where hype and hyperbole are common, the couple emphasises how much they appreciated One Buyers Agency’s friendly, honest and down-to-earth approach.

“When we spoke to Grant we really found him to be extremely personable, we connected with him quickly, and it was pretty clear that he understood what we were after and he was going to be the right person to help us find that,” Sybilla says.

“And when we actually met him, we just knew that this was going to be the person who was going to find us the property we wanted to live in. He had our best interests at heart.”

As Paul and Sybilla found out, not only did the team at One Buyers Agency have an outstanding network of connections with local real estate agents, but they were also highly regarded and respected by local homeowners who were open to selling off-market.

With advice and support from the One Buyers Agency team, the couple were able to target their search efforts, eliminate time-wasting distractions and narrow their focus to a range of only the most suitable properties.

Finding the perfect family home in the ideal location

Paul and Sybilla explain that Grant went above and beyond throughout the process to maintain contact, find leads and give them great recommendations. “He was extremely available. On top of things always. It was an amazing experience to work with him,” Paul says.

The couple joke that he probably would have answered the phone at 2.00 am if they’d called. Thankfully, that wasn’t necessary and they successfully accomplished their goal in much more respectable hours.

Set in a leafy enclave near parks and playgrounds, the couple’s new townhouse is the ideal location for walks and outdoor adventures with children and pets. And with spacious indoor and outdoor living areas, roomy bedrooms, a studio and garaging, it has all the features they need to accommodate a growing family.

The benefits of using a buyer’s agent

Would Paul and Sybilla recommend using a buyer’s agent in general and One Buyers Agency in particular?

“100%!” they insist. “We wouldn’t be living here now without One Buyers Agency.”

We’d been in the property market for 6 to 12 months, and hadn’t really made much headway. So when we eventually made the decision to speak to a buyer’s agent, we understood where they could actually add value and that we would pretty easily recoup the cost,” Paul says.

“How I define their service is definitely client-forward,” Sybilla adds. “We always felt like we were being heard, the properties that we were shown were ones that we wanted to see or that challenged our way of thinking – but in a really good way.”

“If you’re considering using One Buyer’s Agency, my question to you is, do you want your dream property or not? If you do, give them a call!”
