The buyer who needed a specific layout
Kalley Singh sold a three-bedroom house at 755 Edgars Road, Epping for $625,000 in just one day through an off-market strategy, matching a qualified buyer from his existing database.
The buyers were a father and son from nearby Mill Park who had recently sold their property through Kalley’s agency. They weren’t concerned about land size, but they had one non-negotiable requirement: a rear-loaded garage with private backyard access.
“The layout of this house was pretty good as per their requirement because only two people live together — dad and son,” Kalley said.
“Dad wants to have a little bit of his own private backyard with the garage, connected with the garage. That was the main reason, because they really want to have a rear-loaded garage, rather than having it at the front.”
That specific detail — invisible in a standard portal listing — became the deal-maker.
The database that delivered
The speed came down to preparation. Kalley had been tracking buyers actively searching in Epping with budgets between $600,000 and $650,000, and when the sellers decided to test the off-market route, he knew exactly who to call. The first buyer through the door made an offer that same day.
“We got two or three buyers who were looking to secure property in Epping with their budget of spending between $600,000 to $650,000,” Kalley said.
“We invited one by one. The first buyer, they liked it, and they put an offer, and then the property got sold.”
The connection was already established. The father and son had worked with Kelly on their Mill Park sale, so trust was in place before they even walked through the Edgars Road property.
The seller’s perspective
For the vendors, the one-day result was both surprising and cost-effective. They saved an estimated $3,500 to $4,000 in marketing expenses by avoiding a traditional campaign, and the off-market approach meant no extended inspection period or uncertainty about buyer quality.
“They thought that, you know, they saved at least $3,500 to $4,000 on the marketing,” Kalley said.
“We didn’t bring any time stress, so the genuine buyer came on the day, bought the property, and happy days for everyone.”
Where Epping sits
Edgars Road sits in the newer northern section of Epping, close to the Edgars Creek corridor and the planned New Epping renewal precinct. The area appeals to families seeking modern suburban living with access to Harvest Home Primary School, Edgars Creek Secondary College, and Epping Plaza within a short drive. Three-bedroom houses in Epping typically take 35 to 36 days to sell, which suggests Kalley’s qualified buyer pool drove this quick sale.
The forward view
Kalley sees off-market as a tool for sellers who want to test the waters with serious buyers only.
“If vendors are considering at this moment, it’s pretty good because we’re not inviting the unqualified buyers,” he said.
“We’re just inviting the qualified buyers. We know that we are connected with the buyers. We know their requirement, and we will bring only and only the right buyer to get the right price on the property.”
For sellers in Epping wondering whether their property might suit an off-market approach, Kalley’s one-day result demonstrates what’s possible when agent intel meets buyer readiness.
