🏠Case Study
The Problem
Our clients were referred to Martelli Buyers needing a home in the Eastern Suburbs, an area they weren't familiar with. They had a strong budget for a large family home, but online listings were limited, so they knew off-market and pre-market access would be essential. As a busy family, they had little time to view houses and complete due diligence, were unfamiliar with the premium streets, and didn't want time wasted on the wrong or overpriced houses.
What we did
We sourced more than 40 homes during the search - 80% off-market or pre-market - focusing on Kohimarama and St Heliers' best streets. The brief was exacting: an exceptionally well-built home with indoor/outdoor flow to a pool, within walking distance of the local cafes and beach. Homes like this are tightly held for decades and often sell quietly off-market. We reviewed and discounted many based on high vendor price expectations or issues found during our due diligence.
The outcome
We found a statement, architecturally designed home pre-market in the heart of St Heliers, through our agent relationships. The 500+ sqm home spanned three levels and included sea views, a swimming pool, cinema room, sauna, spa, and generous living areas. Due diligence was complex and thorough, and after weeks of negotiation and research, we secured the home on the right terms for our clients.
