The groundwork is done. We've gone through every house sale around you in the last 12 months and scored the agents behind them. Three are ready to pitch, from three different offices.
Next week I interview all three, you meet the best two, and we pick one together on Friday 20 November. Their paperwork then goes out with the tenant notice.
01Where things stand
Nicole can't prepare the contract without the documents, and they'd need renewing in 90 to 120 days. So the agent's signed authority becomes the evidence for the notice. One set of paperwork, paid for once.
Happy to see what comes back from your enquiry, but this route doesn't need to wait on it.
02The groundwork
Every house sold in Collingwood, Abbotsford, Clifton Hill, Fitzroy and Fitzroy North from November 2025 to now, with the agent behind each one.
Three different offices on purpose. Two offices sell most of the houses around you, so we pitch the best team from each, plus a third so they have to compete. Two more teams are on standby if one drops out.
03How we scored them
Out of 100. Weighted to houses like yours: three bedrooms on about 300m², close to Easey St, at the price you're after.
Sales on 250 to 400m² of land
How often they sell at the level you need
How often the sale lands above the quoted range
Sales in Collingwood and Abbotsford
Total houses sold across the five suburbs
04The three in the running
Names stay with me until the pitches are done, so each one is judged on what they say in the room, not on a brand.
The biggest buyer book for a three bedder on a 300m² block.
Sells the most in Abbotsford, where your buyers also look, and usually gets over the quote.
Fewer sales here, but every one at $1.83M or more. Sold the closest twin to your house for over $2M.
Why C is still in: the score is lower because they've sold fewer houses here, not because the results are weaker. They're also the third office, which keeps the other two honest.
05Next week
All three get the floor plan, the land, our price evidence and our terms.
Same five questions, answers scored side by side.
30 minutes each, in person or on video.
Together. Their authority goes to Nicole to check.
Authority signed, notice to the tenants with it attached.
06The interview
07From you
So we stop waiting on the contract and lock the agent in on our terms.
For the two meetings, about an hour all up.
From your property manager, so the notice date is right.
