THE CLIENT SITUATION
Where the Buyer Started
The client was a first home buyer looking within the Northern Beaches and had found a property they were keen to secure.
However, they were:
Unsure how to approach the auction
Concerned about overpaying
Uncomfortable bidding themselves
THE CHALLENGE
A Market That Rewards the Prepared
Auctions in Dee Why are often highly competitive.
Buyers can easily get caught up in the moment emotionally
Pricing expectations can shift rapidly
In this instance, finance pre-approval was outstanding and needed to be finalised
OUR STRATEGY
A Structured Path to the Right Result
Pre-Auction Assessment
We assessed:
- True market value
- Comparable sales in the immediate area
- Likely competition (Analysis through agent provided information of competition – 6 other potential buyers identified, in this instance.)
Clear Bidding Strategy
We established:
- A defined maximum price
- Bidding increments
- Pacing strategy – Bidding strategy is always ascertained after reading the room and gauging auction momentum.
Auction Representation
We represented the client at auction, managing:
- Supply of all bidding authorities
- Bidding registration and timing
- Competitor behaviour analysis
- Psychological pressure – We organised for the client to be in the coffee shop across the street, away from agent pressure and persuasion.
THE OUTCOME
A Result Worth Measuring
The property was secured:
$83,000

Testimonials
Client Experience
“Having someone experienced handle the auction removed all the stress—we never would have approached it that way ourselves. In a competitive Northern Beaches property market and myself a time poor professional, I highly recommend the services of Jason Martin as your buyer agent. He did everything required to make the sale process as easy as possible. Experienced and a great communicator in liaising between agents and getting you into the property you wish to purchase. A personal approach in utilising his knowledge and experience of the property market and would highly recommend as your key advantage over other buyers.”
