Jeremy Marrollo from Place129 sold a three-bedroom house at 4 Beryl Street, Woodville West for $1,025,000 off-market in just four days, leveraging his buyer database to create competition and deliver a premium result.
Jeremy Marrollo had just sold a similar property around the corner at auction when 4 Beryl Street, Woodville West came onto his books. Rather than repeat the public campaign process, he saw a smarter path: connect the vendor relocating to Hobart with the buyers who had missed out weeks earlier.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house went under contract on 17 March 2026 for $1,025,000 after just four days — $25,000 above vendor expectation and without a dollar spent on marketing.
The off-market opportunity
Jeremy’s approach was straightforward but deliberate. He contacted buyers from the recent auction sale and positioned 4 Beryl Street as their opportunity to secure something similar before it hit the market.
“It’s important we build strong relationships with our sellers but also our buyers,” Jeremy said.
“Without having good rapport with the buyers, you can’t sell the home. When we reached out and let them know there was something similar, more within their price bracket, it was simple — here’s your opportunity to view the home before it does eventually go to market. Put your best foot forward and there’s every chance to purchase.”
Seven buyers attended the Sunday off-market viewing. Three made offers.
The buyers who had been overlooked
The successful purchasers were a local family who had been renting nearby and searching for 12 months with little success.
“They were completely disregarded by other agents,” Jeremy said.
“Meeting them at opens, I felt for them in their journey. When I showcased them this opportunity, it just made sense. They were after the home, they wanted to be near their kids’ schooling, they wanted to get their own home set in place — this was the opportunity that allowed that.”
The family came in unconditional with pre-approvals already in place. Their initial offer sat around the $1 million mark, but after negotiations with the other two competing buyers, they moved to $1,025,000 to secure the property.
What buyers noticed
Feedback from the seven attendees was consistently positive about the quality finishes and presentation. The main concern raised was land size — at 318 square metres, the block was smaller than the comparable property Jeremy had recently sold at auction. But for the successful buyers, location and school proximity outweighed the yard dimensions.
The vendor’s perspective
The vendor was relocating to Tasmania and needed certainty over theatre. Jeremy’s boutique approach and track record in the suburb built trust from the outset.
“He understood that I am one of the suburb’s leading agents,” Jeremy said.
“There was a lot of good rapport built and trust knowing that he was dealing with me from start to finish. We made it clear — here’s the expectation, here’s what a premium result could look like. It was great that we got a number in that premium range to give him peace of mind. He was making the right decision to sell pre-market and now he can make his next step back to Tasmania seamlessly.”
