Our business builds long-term relationships with sellers and landlords and that’s especially important when there is a lack of supply on the market. Dealing with a small boutique agency like Napier Watt means we really get to know our clients and they know that we can open doors to off market sales. Many of the buyers and tenants we have on our books are looking for specific property, often in a specific road. We can match the property they want with homes we know are coming to market and by keeping in touch with previous clients over several years we are trusted with advance information.
Our stock is predominately apartments which is particularly suitable for overseas buyers and tenants. Properties in good condition and well maintained with facilities such as gyms and swimming pools are very sought after. Air conditioning is also fast becoming a requisite.
In the current financial environment there’s a tendency for people to hunker down and not consider selling but when there’s a lack of supply it’s actually a good time to sell. We’re experts at securing an off-market deal, and they are driving the market. Some of the outstanding results we are achieving reflect this.
