18th. January 2026 – Case Study, Bondi Junction

The Client

A young professional family with very specific requirements around location, layout and functionality had been searching for some time without success and were close to giving up and renovating instead. With limited time and busy schedules, they engaged Deny Bernardo who had helped them previously, to source the right long-term family home and provide guidance on value and strategy. Through targeted off-market sourcing and careful analysis of recent sales, several quality opportunities were uncovered, including one standout home never publicly marketed. All due diligence and negotiations were managed over the festive season, allowing for a calm, competition-free purchase, with the right home secured in just under eight weeks.
