Reservoir.

Auction purchase.

The brief

After almost a year of searching on their own, this client reached out looking for clarity, efficiency and a strategy that would finally cut through the noise. They wanted a set and forget investment in Melbourne’s north that combined strong rental returns with high specification finishes, low overheads, and the security of being in a small, well maintained block. With complete trust placed in our process from day one, we refined the priorities, aligned the search to long term performance, and built a straightforward plan designed to deliver a confident purchase without the stress or second guessing that had defined the previous twelve months.

The result

The entire journey wrapped up in just sixteen days, ending in a seamless online auction that played out over Zoom. While the format felt unusual for most buyers, it worked perfectly in our favour. Years of consulting and constant video calls meant the process felt natural, controlled and surprisingly efficient. The property we secured met every part of the brief, offering excellent rental potential, modern finishes, and minimal ongoing costs in a tightly held pocket of the north. We have already moved ahead with tenant sourcing well before settlement to maximise early cash flow and create a truly hands off experience for our client, who is now looking ahead to their next purchase with confidence.
