and welcome back to the Smart Real Estate Podcast. Now for our listeners out there who listen regularly, you'll know that we do this, every, every so often. And it's one thing I really love to do and that's to, to go through some, recent sales that, uh, Brad Scott, who's joining me here in the, uh, in the studio again, has made, , for his real estate agency, Smart Real Estate.
So, Brad, welcome back to the studio. Thanks, Adam. Fantastic. Alright, so we've got a few properties to go through here, here today. again, all sold by the looks of things on the, on the open, open offers method. Yep. So let's start. 11 Rimu Place Mullin Diner. Yep. Okey doke. All right.
Talk me through it.
So, beautiful double story, four bed, two bath, double lock up garage house, no pool. Pretty easy one to praise this one, in Crestwood there, near Bunnings. Yep. Looks like a
standard sort of Gold Coast type
house. Yeah, it's probably about 15 year old, in good condition. Lovely couple, Freda and Jim, they were parents of actually past clients we sold for about 10, 12 years ago.
Yep. KFSA called and said, Brad, we want you guys to come back and sell our parents house, which is, you know, great. Fantastic. So when we went and saw them, we had a look at the comparable sales in the area. There was actually one that was sold by another agent across the road recently. It was probably a little bit better.
It had a pool, had a few little things extra. That one had sold for 9. 50. Okay. So I said Yeah, looking at that one, you know, being unbiased, it's probably a little bit nicer property. So, yours might be in the sort of the low nines, 9 to 9. 30, something like that, is probably where I saw it. The sellers were pretty adamant they would not sell under a million dollars for this one.
And I said, look, we'll, we'll give it our best, but I've got to manage your expectations. I don't want to Yep. Say that's going to be easy. Yep. We're going to be, have to sit. And that was also the highest sale in the street. So I said, you know, we're going to have to break a record here, but they knew what we do and how we do it.
And I said, look, if anyone's going to do it, it'll be us, but we'll see how we go. So, we ended up. We had that property on the market for about three weeks, it was a three week campaign, we had, ended up having 15 qualified buyers, for that property, interstate, local. Talk, talk me with,
with this, how do you determine a qualified buyer?
Yeah, so basically, you'll have, I think over that three week period, we had around, around 53 buyers come through the property. Yep. Out of those 53 buyers that saw the property, 15 stepped forward. and filled in paperwork to submit offers. Right. Yeah, and then we go through and qualify them, with their finance and stuff like that.
Right. Because at the end of it, we have to give a recommendation. Sure. Of which offer to accept.
And I gather when you say a qualified buyer, they're at different levels too, whether that's cash on conditional. Correct, yeah.
So we'll have. a combination of local and interstate, sometimes international buyers, then they'll have varying terms.
So whether it be cash or conditional subject to pest and building and finance, which is a little bit higher risk and a subject to say, which is the highest risk. We have to ascertain. Where those subject to sale buyers are at on their journey because they vary from low to high risk. Okay,
cool All right So 15 qualified buyers, you reckon around the early nines based on other sales in the area And we're looking at a three week Three week campaign
and we ended up getting 64 offers on this property.
Okay, so pretty good from those 15 buyers and then in the end It was sort of, it sort of started off really fast, went really well.
Okay, first offer.
First offer we had was, yeah, about 700, 000. Okay. Went quite quickly getting up to around the, the 900s and the mid nines. We were a bit worried we weren't going to crack the ton and get to a million.
Right. And then in the end we ended up having two buyers fight it out. So one was a Sydney investor. I
love this. When you look at this, you know, for those listening or if you, you are. on YouTube. I'm just holding that up. I'm not sure if you can see that, but this is what you get with, with open offers.
And you can see here, it's color coded, for you. And it just goes green, light green, green, light green. So this is a bidding war, isn't it? Yeah.
You can see the difference between the two buyers. So out of those 15 buyers, we weren't sure who was going to be the two best. Sometimes it's three or four or five fighting it out.
In this case, we had two. This is crazy. And you can see
it's minute after minute after minute. Well, you can see
the majority of the boys went up to about nine 70 and then from nine 70, two boys essentially forwarded out. One being a Sydney investor and the other one was a local doctor at the hospital.
Cause it was nice and close five minute drive from the property. And those two. Essentially, both really wanted it, and it ended up going for 1, 120, 000. Wow. So, it went, what's that, you know, an extra 170, 000 above sort of where I thought it was. It was a 170, 000 new record. Yep. 120, 000 over what, you know, the clients wanted.
And, yeah, obviously a new street record and, yeah, very great outcome. So we're
I love this. I mean, I'm just looking at little, little quirks here that one, one, one of the bidders, which isn't the one that got it, finished its bid with 888 on the back of everything. Not, not round numbers there. So that'll be Chinese.
Interesting, isn't it?
Yeah.
Oh, of course. So Chinese buyers will,
they'll go 888, which is, it's a, it's a lucky number for, in the Chinese numerology.
Wasn't lucky enough on this occasion. No.
So, you'll, you'll find that quite often with the triple eights and stuff. Right.
Let me ask you a question here, because I'm looking at the time of these final offers.
Yeah. And, so you'll see, So, it starts at five, At 6pm.
At 6 p. m. is when we start the final offer stage.
Now, that's what I want to ask. How does this work? Because I've seen in other auctions, I was actually involved in a, in a, an online art auction. And therefore, they would add time every time a new bid came in, in that last 5 minutes or so.
That would add 2 minutes to the, is that how it works here? Yeah,
so, essentially Well, it'll start on day one and, technically they have, we've opened, they have open negotiation, which is an online auction that sets a reserve price and whatever the highest price is has to be accepted. Right. So if you've got the subject to say or buyer, you have to accept that offer.
If you have. It's similar, but it's different. Technically not an auction, so you don't have to be cash unconditional and there is no reserve. So we start on day one. People start submitting their offers on online. It's all open, transparent. They can increase their offer whenever they like, as many times as they like.
And then. It tells them exactly when it finishes. It starts at 6pm. So you'll see at 6pm there, it was at a million and fifteen. Yep. So we were, you know, basically we, we, we hit the target of the million. But from every time there's a new offer, it resets the clock for another minute. So it gives everyone a minute.
And then they've got one minute to increase their offer. So it gives everyone that same equal opportunity. And everyone, it might be somebody in Sydney. In this case, there was a guy in Sydney. Yep. On his computer. And there was a guy locally, local doctor on his computer. Yep. And it was sort of like, well, you two sort out amongst yourself.
And depending on what their budgets were and their motivations and, you know, I know the doctor, he really had to have something, you know, close to the hospital. And the investor from Sydney, for whatever reason, had to buy this property. So, those two, ended up You know, it started at 6pm, we finished at 6.
08, so in 8 minutes the price went from a million and fifteen to one million one hundred and twenty. I
love this and I can imagine if you had cameras there on the, on the on the cellar it'd be, it'd be like the block wouldn't it? It is. Oh
look, look, there
it goes. Are they coming in and then you see it pop up on your screen and you'd see them all giving the high fives and
yeah, so every time
there's a new, you hear this like every time on the final office I'd hear this ding ding and we'd do fist bumps. I love it. And then it just goes up. So are you, are you sitting with the sellers when this is going on? Yep. So we'll be sitting there and we'll be, you know, we'll have the, have the, the laptop out.
Sometimes you have it on the big screen. And then, yeah, you'll see that price. So in that case, it went from a million 15 to 1, 000, 120. So it went up 105, 000 in eight minutes.
So
again, you know, we're sort of sorted out over that three weeks. We've got those 15 qualified buyers ended up being two that really wanted it.
And, you know, we've got an extra 120, 000 above the million they wanted. Do you know what?
I would love to do an episode out with you on site. We should do it. With, with, or we could even do it in here. I mean, if you're just watching on a computer, couldn't you? Could we not bring in a vendor, a seller, and do a live, well, we wouldn't, we'd record, but, record live as we're going to the last five minutes.
Can we do that? Yeah. We're doing another one in Mullendyre currently. Love that. Let's, let's work that out. I think that'd be very cool. So you'll, you'll hear, you'll see the fist pumps. It'll be our own version of the block. Fantastic. All right. Let's that's, that's a fantastic result. Okay. Let's let's move on.
Don't know whether I should put this out there, but this is a suburb I do live in, Arundel. 28 Aspen Way. Lovely pool there. Yep. Really great out, outdoor entertaining area. Okay. All right. Start me off. Where did, uh So,
yeah, this was a lovely couple, Helen and Paul Klein. They gave us a call, had this very modern, contemporary, it's probably only, it's in a new estate there in Arundel.
Mm hmm. And they'd only Which
estate is that?
It's At
Arundel, not Arundel
Springs. Yeah, that's the one. Yep. Okay. It's a new sort of development. Problem we have with this property, so Helen and Paul bought it and the agent they bought it off didn't disclose the fact that, across the back fence there, on the front there, that actually backs onto the tram line.
And then behind that, you've got the M1, and the
new M1's going straight through. I know this spot. I was actually walking my dog along this very street last night. I've just pictured it. Now that you see it.
So that, the Coomera Connector, there's like a six lane highway. I'm hearing this from
my plus. Over their back
fence.
Yeah. So And it wasn't disclosed. It
wasn't disclosed to the sellers. They've subsequently found out about it.
Yeah, I can guarantee you those trees in that picture aren't there now.
No.
No.
So, they basically gave us a call and said, look, we want to get out before this all happens. And I said, okay, we're going to have to disclose this to all the buyers, obviously, which will be difficult.
Again, so these guys, they were sort of hoping to get around that sort of, we, we thought it was worth about a million and 50. The sellers were hoping to get 1. 1. And I said, look. Probably a mil, mil 50 is probably more realistic, given what's happening in the area and you've got a highway going in over your back fence.
Yep. So, again, we just wanted to manage your expectations. They understood that and they said, do what you can do and see how we go. So we, This one was another three week campaign, we started at 838, 000 and then over that 21 days, we had 17 qualified buyers present 41 offers and we ended up selling it for 1.
2 million.
So,
this guy, the, the buyer was a, 60 something year old man, just sold his business, down in, I think it was Orange, Orange or Wagga Wagga, New South Wales. And this block actually, because it was the end of the street, it had, Extra land. Right? And he needed the big shed for his toys, right?
So he had a few toys and that was more important. He didn't have kids or a wife, cashed up, sold his business. He's basically moving up here for retirement. We said, look, be aware. There is this, you know, there's a. A big highway going in soon. He said, I'm not worried about it, Brad. That's, that's fine. Right buyer, and he actually flew up from Wagga, and had a look physically through it, and he was quite, smart, I guess.
And he, he sort of, he put a knockout punch in, and sort of knocked all his competition out. So, it sort of got up to about 1, 120, 000. And then this buyer said, He basically wants to knock everyone else out and he's gone 1. 2. It's a bit like, you know, I don't know if you saw the block with, Adrian Portelli.
In the last auction where the girls won, he just went, they're going boom, boom, and he just goes bang, shut it down, bought the property. Basically the same scenario happened here. So, I think he had a, you know, a very good budget. Yeah, I'm probably not quite as good as Adrian Portelli, but, yeah, he wanted to shut it down and secure the property, and, yeah, that gave him that opportunity, knocked everyone else out, and good for the sellers, and, he's now moved into the property and loves it.
Let me, let me ask, because you see, obviously, in, in, on TV shows, and if you've been to You know, real auction, when I say real auctions, on site auctions, for properties, you've got the, the real estate agent who, who, you know, shuffling around between the buyer and the seller and spurring in the ear and, you know, you know, this is all happening online.
You get that last. 10 minute flurry, or, you know, five minute. From that, that time. Are you as the agent then? You're, you're with the sellers obviously, but are you text messaging? Yeah. Are, are you Yeah. Involved and, and, yeah. Correct. Even jumping on a, on a phone and, and so you're still doing that? Yeah.
There's a lot while happening online. Yeah.
There's a lot that happens during it. So there's a lot of. We've worked behind the scenes leading up to it, and then we're getting all the paperwork signed, we're getting all the, getting all the, pre approvals in place and all the paperwork, a lot of qualification, a lot of phone calls, a lot of, on the day of the final offer stage, we'll be on the phone talking to them and saying, look, this is what happens, this is how it works, I'll be texting you during it, I won't be calling you because I haven't got time to have a five minute conversation when you've only got one minute increments.
So I'm usually, yeah. You know, I'll have those 10 buyers and I'll be sending them quick messages saying, you know, good work, good offer, strong offer, keep going, don't miss out. You know, this is the last, last minute, last chance. And then sometimes I can even In certain circumstances, I can hit the pause button.
You know, if I need to have a conversation for a few minutes, you can, you can put the thing on hold. Yep. So I can hit the pause and then there's an
issue or something that
issue sometimes buyers can't log on or they're having issues sometimes. They'll be thinking and a minute's not enough time. Usually we'll have these conversations so it all runs smoothly at the end, but in some circumstance I'll hit the pause button.
I just love this. Pick up the phone, have a quick call and just say, you know, hey, blah, blah, blah. And they'll increase their offer and away we go. And then it all comes to an end and we present the top three offers to the owner and the owner chooses whichever offer they like or they choose to offer.
I
love this and I can't wait to do this, as, as an episode and everyone can see this, see this unfold. All right, let's, , let's have a look at another one. Alright, Southport this time. Unit 33 154 Musgrave Avenue, I know where this is. I drive past this quite a bit. It's just near the Sharks, isn't it?
That's right, it's in
the Sphere complex. Yep,
so just just a bit further east. the hospital. Yep, east from the Sharks. Yep, yep, that's it. Okey doke. So, talk
me through it. Yep. So this was a lovely couple, Joe and Julie. They were actually interstate investors. They were from over in Western Australia.
Now This is a really good example because it sort of shows you the power of us and our system and how it makes a difference. So, this was a top floor, three bedroom apartment, had this big rooftop terrace and next door there's the identical like for like mirror image. Sure. So, the other one, recently sold.
With Ray White. Yep. This one's
north though, this one's facing north, the other one's south I'm, I'm presuming by the picture here. Yeah,
that's correct. Yep. So, the other one sold recently for 750, 000 with a different agent. The client called us up and said, Brad, you know, this one just sold for 750, 000, we'd like you to sell ours for 750, 000.
I had a look at That other property and I said, yeah, look, they've done a full, you know, 100, 000 renovation on this. Oh,
okay.
Yours is probably, it's, it's getting close to 18, 20 years old. Needs a bit of a refurb renovation. I said, you know, these owners next door, they've got all new carpets, paint, kitchens, bathrooms, it's all basically brand new.
And then they got 750, 000. So I said, you know, you've got to take that 100, 000 off. So I said, yours is probably realistically around the 650, 000. You know, sort of price point and I showed him the photos and they sort of said, Oh, okay, I can see that, but I understand what you're saying. He said, look You know, we appreciate that.
If you can get a 680, you know, we'd be happy. If you can get a 700, we'd be ecstatic. And so that was sort of the goal and the premise going into it. And I said, look, I think that's Okay, so they're being realistic. Yeah, they're being reasonable and realistic. Again, they're investors, so less emotional about it.
Yep. So yeah, we did a good campaign on that one. That one only took two weeks. Two weeks, yep. And we ended up having 14 qualified buyers making 41 offers over that two week period. A lot of buyers came through this one. It started at 665, 000 and we ended up selling it for 850, 000. Wow. So
And, and can I just ask, the difference in time from that Settlement of not that deal going through from the one next door.
How, how long a time period in between that 750 that was sold? How, how much earlier?
Oh, two or three months.
That's it.
Yeah. So it was a recent comparable. So, and about, it's about as comparable as you can get in that you got two side by side and they're literally a mirror image. Yeah. Ours was north facing.
Yeah. Which is a bit more, you know, desirable than the south. But. Not a hundred
grand more when the other one's been reno'd.
, and we've got 850, 000, so we've got 100, 000 more than the 100, 000 renovated exact like for like property.
Amazing.
So 200, 000 more on a property that's only worth, you know, if you work that as a percentage. Percentage, huge. Yeah, so you're talking an extra 20%.
Was the other one done through private treaty?
Yeah, that was done, I think that was actually an auction. I was gonna
say, was it an auction? Yeah, traditional auction.
So, the downside of that, and I said that, I said to the client, I said, look, we can do a traditional auction too. Cause out of, actually out of those 14 buyers we had, we only had 2 cash home conditional buyers.
So, 12 of them were conditional.
Now Which weren't going to be in the picture for the other one.
No, exactly. So, you know, if we'd You only dealt with the two cash unconditional buyers, we probably would have sold it for about 650, 680. But by including the other 12 conditional buyers with the two unconditional buyers, we ended up, you know, getting that price up to 850, 000.
Yep. And that's the big difference, like the bigger pool of buyers, because with the traditional auction, you don't include conditional buyers. And I
want to make the point here, you know, having done a number of these episodes with you now, Brad, and being, you know, not from the industry myself, when we started chatting, I came in with a view, auction, auction, surely you, you're going to get the best price.
It's, it's not always the case. In fact, it's probably not. I think people like the
auction because they have that competitive nature and the transparency of it. So there's definitely some pros to auction. The, the biggest downside is that you're cutting 95 percent of the buyers out.
Yeah.
So in order for an auction to go well, like if you had 14 cash unconditional buyers.
Do an auction.
Yeah.
But the reality is you don't. So I go to a lot of auctions with other agencies and you know sometimes there's two or three registered buyers. I
even want to, I want to press you on that though. Even if you did have 14 do an auction, you say do an auction, but Are you going to get any better result than doing it through, than, than what, doing the same thing on, on OpenOffice?
Well, I mean, it's going to come down to the biggest pool of buyers. Yep. So whatever's going to get you the biggest pool of buyers is going to get you the biggest price. If you, more buyers means more competition, more competition means higher price. Of course. That's the, the, the equation. Yep. So. And that's the biggest downfall of traditional auction is, because you're only dealing with a small set of buyers, you generally end up getting a lower price because there's less competition.
So, whereas with open, it's like private treaty, where you're going to have the whole 100 percent of the buyer pool, but having, you know, 14 buyers compared to two buyers, you obviously have a lot more. And, and again, you don't know who's your best buyer. And then at the end, if that top buyer is say, subject to sale of property, and the second buyer is cash unconditional, well the owner can choose the lower cash unconditional offer.
It's very flexible, and allows that buyer, so that Buyer who's subject to sale or subject to us building finance cannot go and bid at a traditional auction with your ray wise, your hard courts and stuff, because they're not gonna qualify. They have to be cash, unconditional, 10% deposit, 30 day settlement.
If open offers, it allows that buyer who wants person building finance or has to sell a property to participate. Mm. You know, and at the same time we say to the, the buyers, well. You know, you can submit your offer, but please be aware at the end, the owner can choose any offer based on price and terms. So if you go to sell a house, that's fine.
Just be aware, depending on where you are in that scenario, you may lose out to a lower offer with stronger terms. They say, yeah, that's fine, bro. We understand that. We get that. So people are pretty fine with that because they've still got the opportunity to submit an offer. So if there's something to sell, they might have to finish 10 or 20 grand higher than the next top offer because I've got to say to the seller, it's got to be enough of a difference that we're going to consider that over, you know, a lower, stronger offer.
Cool.
Okay. So final property for today, Brad, this looks like a nice one. Surface Paradise. We're looking at a unit. I can see that it's looking over, it's got full. Frontage open view of the ocean. Yep. What's, so this is Ferny Ave, what's, is it, This was in, What's it gonna say? It's got a name, the
building?
Yeah, it's Circle on Cavell. Circle on Cavell. So really nice modern building. Level? So this is on the 49th floor.
Right.
Ocean front, three bedder. Beautiful
view.
So, this one was actually on, with a, I won't say the name, but, Probably one of the highest profile agencies on the Gold Coast that do a lot of prestige.
Had this one before you. Had this one for sale. Okay. They 90 days. The highest offer they got was, 1. 3 million.
Right. This is just prior to you. Prior to us.
The client Chen, lovely guy in China. Yep. Called me up and said, Brad, I want you to sell our unit. It's with.
And get a lot more than 1.
3.
He said he wants 1. 4.
That's all,
okay. So, and I said, well, if that other agent who's, quite well known, spent a lot of money on marketing, was only able to achieve 1. 3, chances of me getting 1. 4 is going to be pretty slim. But I'm happy to give it a crack. Okay. Because
that, that, they were doing private treaty.
Yeah, they were doing private trade on that one and it was only, a few, a few offers. The highest offer they had was 1. 3. So we went in, did a really good marketing campaign. This one was also a little bit difficult in that it was holiday let, with a holiday letting company in Surfers Paradise. And they, once we get a property for sale that's holiday let, they will kind of block us from coming in because they don't want us to sell it.
They're kind of in competition with us. So, we worked around it, we organised to, essentially, got in there and we only had a two hour window to get all the marketing done. And we did 3D tours, videos, etc. And then during a 8 day campaign, for this one we didn't show one single person physically through the property.
Because the holiday letting agent just had it fully booked, during that time period to kind of stop us from getting people through. I said, that's fine. We'll use 3D tours and all the tools that we use, the floor plans and the videos and stuff. So we had five qualified buyers over an eight day period.
So a one week campaign. We ended up getting 24 offers from those five buyers and the buyer who purchased it was at 1, 760, 000. Cash Unconditional.
Cash Unconditional.
So 460, 000 more than the other agency was able to achieve. And we did it in one week with no physical inspection. No one went through the property.
That's the power and the difference of what we do and how we do it.
That's just crazy. That's just crazy. So do you know whether any of these, how many qualified buyers did you say you had? You had, I had five. Had five. Do you know whether any of those were involved in the process with the previous agent?
Yeah, they
were. So I think, two of those five I knew had made offers with the other agency. So they knew where
that had gotten to.
Yep. But again, I think it was just, I'm not sure what had happened there, but there was a breakdown in the negotiation. Sure. And then, again, a lot of those buyers didn't want to compete on open offers.
But we said, look, this is the only way we're selling it. It's fair, it's transparent to all parties, everyone's got the same opportunity. Those two buyers, from the other agency plus the new buyers that we brought in. Yep. Basically forwarded out. As one of the new buyers that ended up buying it, went up to 1, 760, 000.
And he was like, okay, cash unconditional. done deal, lock it in. And, the owner in China was like, wow.
Fantastic. So all done. Fantastic. Last thing I want to ask you before we wrap up for today, Brad, observers. I've noticed there's a thing on here that says, observers. Now there's six for this one. I noticed on the others, we had, even quite a few, quite a few more.
Third, what are observers when it comes to the open offered? Yeah, it's a good question.
So observers are essentially. Best way to think about it is like a traditional auction, when you go to the house, you have two different types of people there. So you have people who have gone in, given their ID, registered to bid.
They get a bidding paddle, you know, so that's when we say qualified buyers, those people are qualified.
They've got the paddle. They've got the
paddle and you'll actually see we've got paddle numbers and colours. Yep. That's like the paddle. The observers are simply the nosy neighbours in the street and people in the, in the street just watching.
The meerkats.
