A three-bedroom home at 17 Hemingway Drive, Camillo sold for $705,000 in just nine days, after 10 competing offers were managed through a strategic private-treaty campaign led by Carol Tuckett of Sherlock Homes Group.
The result materially outpaced the local market, where three-bedroom houses typically take 24 days to sell with a $580,000 median, according to Domain data.
Carol attributed the outcome to three levers: presenting all offers to the sellers, pricing for maximum competition, and showcasing an impeccably presented home through her agency’s renovation service.
Carol said the campaign’s success came down to three key factors: presenting all offers to the vendors, positioning the property at an accessible price point, and ensuring exceptional presentation through her agency’s unique renovation service.
“We ran an ‘all offers presented’ strategy at an accessible price point, and the property looked outstanding in photos and in person,” Carol said.
“Our vendors also used our pay-at-settlement renovation finance, so the improvements could be completed with no upfront cost… opening this option to any seller, not just those with cash on hand.”
Renovation advantage
A point of difference for Sherlock Homes Group is its in-house renovation team, which prepares properties for sale using qualified tradespeople before marketing begins.
“The unique thing about our agency is that we have a renovation team that prepares the property for sale,” Carol said.
“Our team of tradespeople make sure that the property is presented in its best light.”
The three-bedroom, one-bathroom house with garage attracted strong buyer interest, with Carol negotiating through multiple offers to secure a result that pleased her vendors.
Vendor satisfaction
Carol said her clients were extremely pleased with both the sale price and the efficiency of the process. They said being able to renovate before selling – without having to pay until settlement – made the experience smooth and rewarding.
“They were really happy and happy with the price, and process” she said.
The campaign demonstrates how strategic offer management and professional property preparation can drive competition in Perth’s outer suburbs, particularly for homes priced to attract first-home buyers and investors.
