In the world of real estate, success often hinges on more than just a steadfast attitude and strong communication skills—it’s practically a necessity. This success story is a testament to that truth, especially when navigating the complexities of property transactions, whether representing buyers or sellers.
Closing a property deal is rarely straightforward, typically involving a range of stakeholders at once. From legal representatives and interior designers to property management teams and appraisers, the list goes on. Effective collaboration with each stakeholder demands skilled communication and considerable patience. Moreover, it requires diligent number-crunching to ensure our clients understand whether a property is a wise investment.
In this story, our Associate Listing Consultant Manager, Gabriel, and our Associate Listing Manager, Jessin, demonstrate the power of effective communication and thorough data analysis.
Client’s Profile
Our clients, a young couple who recently sold their condominium unit at Forest Woods, were searching for a unique property type for their next home—a freehold or 999-year leasehold landed cluster home. Fortunately, luck was on their side when they found a great opportunity: one of the most affordable landed cluster homes in Singapore, a freehold cluster home located along Springleaf Avenue.
Seller’s Profile
The sellers of this property were a couple in their 40s who had purchased this freehold landed cluster home as an investment. The property had been rented out until the lease coincidentally ended around the same time our clients discovered it for sale.
Challenges Faced
Although our clients were fortunate to find their desired property, the journey was not without obstacles. Landed cluster homes are scarce in Singapore, making the search challenging and time-consuming. To add to the difficulty, while the property they found was one of the more affordable options, it still exceeded their budget.
Furthermore, the property sellers were quite cautious, preferring all communication related to the sale to go through their lawyer rather than directly with them. This not only complicated communication but also delayed the transaction unnecessarily. Adding to the challenge, the seller’s real estate agent was defensive in negotiations and consistently deferred to the sellers’ lawyers for any additional requests.
Factors That Made This Deal A Success
Patient and effective communication played a crucial role in sealing the deal successfully. Jessin and Gabriel skillfully navigated discussions with the seller’s lawyers and agent, ensuring that every important detail was clearly communicated between our client and the seller. This approach prevented any misunderstandings that could have led to our client overpaying for the property. To maintain clear communication, Jessin and Gabriel respected the seller’s preference for all communications to go through their lawyers first, even though it may have caused some delays and added complexity to the process.
Despite the challenges, Jessin and Gabriel remained determined and focused. They conducted thorough analysis, crunching numbers and delving into data to provide key insights. Their detailed work confirmed that our client’s chosen property was a wise decision. After reviewing the analysis presented by Jessin and Gabriel, our clients were confident in their choice and proceeded with the purchase. Adding to their success, Jessin and Gabriel negotiated a price for our client that was significantly lower than the seller’s initial asking price.
