Norman So and Arron Muckenschnabel of Belle Property Strathfield have achieved an $8.1 million auction result for a six-bedroom freestanding home, delivering $100,000 above the vendor’s sale expectations.
The substantial property at 24 Highgate Street offered six bedrooms, four bathrooms and four-car accommodation across 663.9 square metres, attracting four registered bidders to a tense and fast-paced auction.
Strategy built on buyer intelligence
Arron attributed the premium result to intimate knowledge of active buyers in the prestige price bracket.
“Really knowing our buyers – at this price point, you’ve really got to know who the buyers are in the market,” he said.
The strategy delivered competitive tension from opening bid to final hammer, with bidding building significantly throughout the auction.
Vendors praise seamless process
The sellers expressed strong satisfaction with both the campaign execution and final outcome, highlighting the agents’ ability to deliver results while minimising stress.
“They were very happy with the process – we made it very easy for them,” Arron said.
“They were overjoyed at the results.”
