"Beyond my Expectations"
Not only my expectations, but also that of the majority of my neighbours! family and friends.The houses, whilst being Heritage listed, were falling apart, riddled with termite and borer damage , onein need of massive restoration, the other uninhabitable being vacant for some 16 years, an empty shell, devoid of a Kitchen, bath-room, toilet and laundry.Faced with all this Dean and Ben arranged an impressive,"Drone" video,--- huge pictorial" For Sale" signs, front and back,-- half page adds in the two Major Eastern Suburbs news-papers in two issues prior to auction day, followed by a leaflet drop.
All done to a day by day spread-sheet plan of action. I received offers from two developers and three family's, all around $1.1 to $1.3 million each.
The Bickmore team advised me to go to Auction, as the selling price was difficult to estimate ( each contract holder and interested party were informed, (often after hours!)of an estimated range of $1.3 to $1.4 million, due to both houses having no previous sale price .
After a spirited Auction, I was amazed at the hammer falling on $1.455 million each.
A splendid result, as larger, recently renovated houses in the eastern suburbs were not reaching this amount. I noticed other large real estate agents were not as diligent as Ben and Dean. Their attention to detail and the Sales plan was brilliant, combined with a calm, always pleasant and "be fair to all" attitude.
As you may have noticed by now, I am very impressed with the Bickmore-Hut team!
