The Client

Dani and Shaughan had recently married and were ready to move out of their rental and into a home of their own.

They wanted more space without losing the lifestyle they enjoyed. Brunswick and Coburg were the clear priorities, with a preference for locations south of Bell Street and close to transport, cafes, restaurants and an easy connection into the city.

There were plenty of directions the search could take. Newer townhouses, older units and apartments all had their appeal, but the right home needed to offer genuine value within their budget.

Ultimately, they wanted something they could move straight into and enjoy from day one, while still having the scope to add value over time.

What we did

The key was giving the search some direction.

Rather than spreading the brief too thinly across different property types and locations, we stayed focused on where the best opportunities were likely to sit and made sure we were across both on market and off market stock.

That led us to a villa unit that stood out for its fundamentals. It was well positioned, offered a garage and could be comfortably moved into while still providing scope to add value over time.

We were able to secure the property off market and, within just one month, Dani and Shaughan had moved from renting into a home of their own.

A focused search, a clear brief and the right opportunity at the right time.

The Property

  • A red-brick villa unit, two white-framed windows over a row of lavender and a yucca
  • A black wrought-iron screen door set deep in a red-brick porch, camellias above
  • Three pale concrete front steps with a black rail, petals scattered on the treads
  • A rear courtyard: a strip of lawn between grey fences, decking and a bed of pansies
  • Patterned terracotta floor tiles in circles and petals
  • A red camellia in full flower beside the eaves
  • Cream brick wall, half in sun and half in shade
  • An open doorway onto a carpeted room

In their words

Both Jason and Jim at That Street were absolutely incredible to work with! I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. They were with us every single step of the way in helping us secure an off market property in the inner north, something we honestly never would have found on our own. Their knowledge, connections and attention to detail were next level. They’re approachable, friendly, informative and completely professional, and they made us feel comfortable and looked after from day one. They went above and beyond at every turn in showing up to every house inspection to make sure we were only ever looking at homes we’d feel 100% happy in, and never once making us feel rushed or pressured. They turned what could have been a stressful, overwhelming process into one that felt exciting and genuinely enjoyable. If you’re looking to buy in Melbourne, definitely do yourself a favour and get Jason and Jim in your corner. We couldn’t be happier with our new home, and we owe it all to them.
