26th. September 2025 – Case Study, Manly

The Client

After living interstate for many years, our clients were eager to return to Sydney. They had a clear vision of what they wanted, right down to a specific building, but felt daunted by the process and uncertain whether their goal was achievable.

Drawing on their strong agent relationships and deep knowledge of the local market, Spencer Tsang and Monique Treder presented a curated range of properties to help the clients understand what was possible. At the same time, our team began making discreet enquiries within their preferred building and soon uncovered the ideal property.

With a clear purchase strategy in place, Spencer and Monique secured the residence before it went to auction. From first engagement to successful purchase, the entire process took just 18 days.

Client Testimonial

“We gave Spencer and Monique a very focussed brief, because we were only interested in buying in one building. Somehow they managed to unearth a number of off-market apartments in ‘that’ building. When we identified our dream apartment, their understanding of the vendor’s situation and market conditions, combined with their understanding of the selling process, enabled them to develop and execute a buying strategy that secured our dream apartment well below the initial asking price.”
