Illustration: Alan walks along the street to meet a couple outside their home, and shakes hands with each of them. It then becomes a film of the same first meeting.
If this market feels hard to read, that’s because it is. Start with the move you’re actually making. I take on a small number of clients and run each one myself, from the first conversation to the final signature.
A considered price strategy, tailored marketing and every serious buyer followed up personally.
This is my move 2 Buying with an agent on your sideAssess the property, understand its value and negotiate with experienced support on your side.
This is my move 3 Selling & buying, one movePlan your sale, purchase and settlement timing together, with a clear view of the total cost.
This is my moveNot sure which you are? Most people aren’t at the start. That’s the first conversation to have.
A volume agent may sell a hundred homes a year. You own one of them. It may be decades of wealth, and your largest asset. You should know who is personally protecting its value.
I attend the inspections. I speak to the buyers. I run the negotiation. You deal with me throughout.
Many campaigns, one diary.
Your campaign, one of many.
A short list, handled personally.
Your campaign, the whole week.
A property isn’t sold by a brand. It’s sold by an agent. Put these four questions to anyone you interview.
Who will speak to the buyers?
Who will run the inspections?
How many other properties is that person managing?
Will the agent who wins your listing be there when the offer comes in?
You aren’t employing a signboard. You’re employing a person.

Buyers haven’t left the Eastern Suburbs. They’ve stopped being rushed. The price is now settled in the negotiation, not on the day — and that rewards the agent who stays close to every buyer.
From Bondi to Point Piper — what is selling, what is sitting, and the buildings I quietly steer clients away from. Twenty suburbs, each with its own page.
Median house price unless marked. Cotality, as at September 2026.
What a $1 million mortgage actually buys in Sydney this year, and the income needed to service it.
Why Eastern Suburbs owners are selling in 2026, and the shift from long holds to timed exits.
Where the unit market sits, and what it means for owners weighing a sale this year.
The local agent. Window cards, newspaper lines, a ledger of known buyers.
The suburban boom. Home ownership becomes the national project.
The franchise. National brands claim ownership of the buyer.
The portal. Every listing in one place. The buyer belongs to no one.
Every agency reaches the same buyers. The agent decides the result.
Selling, buying or weighing up both? Talk it through with the person who will actually run it.
