    To buy a home that exceeds my clients expectations is the greatest compliment. In this market people keep talking about compromise but not my clients Michelle and Steven, they purchased โ€œa home we never would have been able to buyโ€.

    Here is their full google review, thanks for the kind words. ๐Ÿ’ซ

    We feel very lucky to have found Jayne. She secured us an amazing family home that greatly exceeded our expectations, something we didnโ€™t think would be possible in this crazy market. Jayne is genuine, professional and very easy to deal with. She is both generous with her time and the sharing of her market knowledge. We really enjoyed our time with Jayne. She worked hard to find us a home that meets our current and future needs and feel really grateful to her for securing us a home we never would have been able to buy without her good property intuition and negotiation strategies.

Right there that is success to me, the moment isnโ€™t even about the keys. โฃ

    This buy is one I am super proud of and this story may never happen again. โฃ

    My clients when I first met them mentioned this exact address as what they were looking for. I laughed and said everyone knows that block but it hasnโ€™t been for sale in over 20 years itโ€™s just sat vacant. You can imagine the absolute surprise when it came up as an off market option two weeks later. We swooped in, secured it and I decided this block needed a huge sign to celebrate. Donโ€™t worry- I wonโ€™t leave it there for months ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜โฃ

    As the school year swings back into action here is your reminder as a buyer to always research the school catchment area yourself.โฃ
    โฃ
    Here in Brisbane there is no doubt house prices are impacted by which school catchment zone they sit in. โฃ
    โฃ
    Sometimes the closest school or one mentioned near by isnโ€™t always the catchment zone so it is important to double check using the Queensland government website.โฃ

    For those wondering why the brisbane property market is flooded with buyers with only a sprinkling of homes on offer!!!
