24th. November 2025 – Case Study, Roseville

The Client

Our clients were a young family searching for a Federation era property to renovate over time and create their dream family home. Having successfully completed and sold their previous project, they engaged Ben Cohen and the Goldman Bros team to guide them through their search. After narrowly missing out on two opportunities, we quickly identified a property that matched their vision and moved decisively during its off-market phase. We conducted detailed due diligence to evaluate the home’s potential, giving the family confidence in what could be achieved. Through a swift and strategic negotiation and leaning on our agent relationships, we were able to secure the property for our clients off-market and without any competing buyers.
