6th. March 2026 – Just Bought, Lindfield

The Client

Our clients, a growing family looking to upsize on the Upper North Shore, had been actively searching themselves but were unable to secure the right home in a competitive market. After engaging our team, we provided access to a curated selection of suitable on and off-market opportunities, bringing structure, clarity and confidence to the process. One property quickly emerged as the clear preference. Although publicly listed with an auction campaign underway, we identified the opportunity to act earlier. Through strategic preparation, detailed due diligence and a ready-to-exchange position, we negotiated prior to auction and secured the home with limited competition.
