A Yeppoon agent has sold a three-bedroom family home with six car spaces for $1.3 million off-market, matching the property to buyers he’d cultivated for months before it was listed.
Terry Delalande from RMW Property Agents has secured a $1.3 million off-market sale at 33 Meilland Street, Yeppoon, by presenting the property to buyers he’d been working with for months before it was publicly listed.
The three-bedroom, three-bathroom home on a half-acre block with six car spaces sold on 16 December 2025 with zero days on market, after Terry identified it as the perfect match for a family with two children.
Pre-listing buyer strategy
Terry had been nurturing the relationship with the buyers over several months, learning their family requirements and property preferences before the opportunity emerged.
“I was working with these buyers for months and I knew that it was perfect for their family, so I called them directly before I listed the property,” Terry said.
“I was about to launch it online but showed them before I launched it and it was perfect for the family, so they decided to move forward with the property.”
The approach allowed the buyers to secure the home without competing in an open market, while the vendor achieved a strong result with minimal disruption.
Vendor advisory role
Beyond matching buyer and seller, Terry provided pre-sale consultation to the vendor, a builder, advising on presentation strategies to maximise the property’s appeal and sale price.
The vendor praised the transaction’s efficiency.
Terry said the vendor loved just the ease of the whole process; “there were no hiccups, a nice and smooth process.”
The sale price of $1.3 million sits well above Yeppoon’s house median, reflecting both the property’s scale and the effectiveness of a targeted off-market strategy in a market where house prices range from modest to premium.
According to property data, Yeppoon presents a dynamic market with strong demand for larger family homes, particularly those offering space and features suited to growing families.
Terry’s result reinforces the growing role of off-market transactions in regional Queensland, where agents with established buyer databases can deliver faster, more discreet outcomes.
