3 BIDDERS… BUT MY LITTLE HECKLER STOLE THE SHOW! 😂🔨

The buyers brought the competition at 46a Thea Grove, Doncaster East today — and one little girl brought the laughs, happily heckling me and laughing at my jokes. Tough crowd? Thankfully, she was on my side! 😄

SOLD under the hammer with 3 bidders! 🏡🥂

With the reserve disclosed last Friday, buyers came prepared and ready to compete. Today’s auction showed how beautifully everyone is adjusting to the new approach — clear expectations, spirited bidding and another happy Jellis Craig vendor and purchaser.

Congratulations to our sellers and the new owners!

With buyers missing out today, your property could be their next opportunity.

Have a similar 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with a double garage? Thinking of selling before the year is out?

📩 DM us for a personal conversation. We may be able to introduce a suitable buyer OFF MARKET.

🏡 SOLD UNDER THE HAMMER! 🔨 $1,400,000

21 Malcolm Street, BLACKBURN

4 BIDDERS. ONE WINNER. ANOTHER OUTSTANDING AUCTION RESULT! 🔥

💰 Here’s something worth thinking about...

A neighbouring property sold OFF MARKET just a few months ago for $1,330,000.

Yesterday, our auction achieved $1,400,000 — that’s $70,000 MORE!

Selling off-market can sound enticing. Less marketing, fewer inspections and potentially a few dollars saved.

But are you saving money or potentially leaving money on the table? 🤔

Yesterday was a timely reminder of what can happen when you expose your property to the broader market and let genuine buyers COMPETE!

Not every property or sale is identical, but the right campaign, strategy and competitive auction environment can make an enormous difference.

👏 Congratulations to our wonderful vendors, successful purchasers and Joseph Corsi and the Jellis Craig team on a fantastic result!

🏡 HAVE A SIMILAR HOME TO SELL?

We have SEVERAL motivated, qualified buyers who missed out and are ready to purchase ASAP, ideally BEFORE CHRISTMAS! 🎄

📲 Contact Joseph Corsi at Jellis Craig today. Your property could be exactly what they’re looking for!

“YOU EVEN KNEW THEIR PARENTS’ NAMES!” 👀🔨

That was a buyer’s comment to me at today’s auction at 2B Braeside Avenue, Ringwood East.

My reply? “That’s the difference when you hire a professional with years of experience.”

For me, it starts with taking the time to know people. Their names, their families, their hopes — and what this next move means to them.

Today, that preparation and experience helped deliver:

🔨 4 registered bidders
🎯 Vendor reserve: $750,000
🏡 SOLD: $835,000
🙌 $85,000 above reserve!

To Nic and Zoe — you’ve been absolute five-star vendors. Thank you for all your efforts throughout the campaign and for trusting me with your sale.

Congratulations to our beautiful buyers, and a heartfelt thank you to our lovely underbidders. I’d love to help you find your next home.
