Louise Hackmann marketed 11A Hume Boulevard, a three-bedroom house with one bathroom and single garage on a 352-square-metre block, using expressions of interest to gauge buyer appetite before committing to a price strategy.
The property had previously been listed by the owner, and an in-place tenant required careful coordination throughout the campaign.
“We just had to think outside the square and change things up a little bit,” Louise said.
“We did expressions of interest for the first week and then worked out where the market was for the property before eventually putting the price on it.”
Building trust across two titles
The campaign’s success led directly to a second instruction, with the vendors asking Louise to sell the adjoining property at 11 Hume Boulevard.
“Because they were happy with the first property, they listed the second property with me which actually helped each other sell,” she said.
The dual-title block presented both a logistical challenge and an opportunity to demonstrate strategic thinking in a moderate Central Coast market.
Killarney Vale’s median three-bedroom house price sits at $893,000 with rental yield averaging 3.3%, according to market data. The suburb’s stable demographic profile supports steady transaction activity across a range of property types.
Working around occupancy
Louise’s ability to coordinate viewings and marketing activity around the tenant’s schedule proved crucial to maintaining campaign momentum.
The private treaty method allowed flexibility in timing and pricing strategy, with the expressions of interest period providing valuable market feedback before formal price guidance was set.
The result demonstrates how relationship-building and adaptability can turn complex property situations into repeat business opportunities.
