“Unit 1 and 2 (of 3) townhouses in the group on Beach Street were listed for sale on the same day, mine was the middle unit (2) owner occupied by a bachelor, while the adjoining unit (1) was tenanted.
Dressed for Sale styled unit 2 for me and the presentation was flawless, our photographer Hiro did an exceptional job and the market presence and perception of value shone above the adjoining unit.
Unit 1 was opened by the competing agent on the Saturday, I opened unit 2 on the Sunday, by Sunday night I had an offer above the top of the range and my unit was sold for $860,000. The adjoining unit was poorly presented with tenant boxes and suitcases lining the hallway walls, generally untidy and unclean, it was on the market for approximately 6 months eventually selling for $780,000”
