26th. November 2025 – Case Study, Balmain

The Client

Our client, an expat and young professional seeking to expand his portfolio and secure a long-term family home in one of the Inner West’s blue-chip pockets, engaged us with a clear brief amid Sydney’s increasingly competitive market. After exhausting all on-market options and presenting a curated selection of qualified off-market opportunities, we uncovered this iconic peninsula property and immediately recognised its suitability. Following the Saturday inspection, we acted decisively, completing full due-diligence and moving into a swift, strategic negotiation. By Tuesday, we had secured the home off-market and without competition.
