Looking to find a place to call your home? We know this can be a very exciting time! It can also be an emotional rollercoaster for many people as well with lots of time spent, money wasted, tears shed and hopes crushed. You need a partner who is knows the Hills District well, has strong relationships with agents, along with great negotiation skills and strategies.
Our goal at Think Property is to help buyers find and secure their ideal property, while smoothing out the entire buying journey for you. We are a small team of buyer’s advocates who either grew up or live in Sydney’s Hills District.
Our focus is only on the Hills District which naturally puts us above others as we know the area down to the street level and we are also up to date with everything happening with the Hills Shire Council.
We know everyone’s situation is different, which means what you look for in a house will differ from buyer to buyer. Our process helps to identify your needs and wants. In knowing this, we work with you to find properties that meet your criteria. We are no stranger to long lists! If it’s not possible, we will tell you. Some examples of requests from our buyers includes:
Schedule a free strategy session call with us and we will work with you to understand your situation and whether we can help you. This session is all about:
At this stage, there is no obligation to proceed! Likewise, if we believe we aren’t the right partner for you, we will let you know as well!
If you need help with preparing your finance, we have partnered with Reservoir Finance, a Sydney based mortgage broker who helps Australians from all walks of life, everywhere.
If you choose to partner with Think Property, congratulations and welcome! In the second step of our process, we will have another call to go into even more detail around the strategy and approach we will be taking for your property purchase. The goal is to complete a buyer’s brief to ensure that everyone is aligned. This second session is all about education and aligning on the strategy. We will talk about:
Once the buyer’s property brief has been aligned and signed off, our team begins the search stage! We will set up alerts, reaching out to our network and will be contacting agents on a regular basis to ensure we get a constant deal flow. This gives us (and you) access to off market properties, choice as well as helping you as the buyer get a good feel for the market and what is currently available.
Our team will provide you with regular updates, even if there isn’t any property that meets your criteria for that week. Generally, we expect the search phase to take anywhere from 2 weeks to three months (depending on the time of the year).
The Think Property team will filter and present to you properties of interest. The team will also attend inspections and speak with agents to find out more about the property being sold.
If there is a property of interest, it will then go through a process of due diligence. The Think Property due diligence process is extremely detailed. We will look as many items as possible in order to give you as much information as possible in making a decision. The team will:
We want to make sure you are happy if you were to be successful securing this property. If we recommend a property you are not happy with, we will understand why and keep searching.
If you are happy with the property of interest, we will work with you to form a strategy to secure the property. Throughout the due diligence process, our team will have already spoken to the selling agent to understand items such as who the seller is, the reason for selling and any terms they may be favourable to.
Combining with an understanding of your price and your terms, this helps to inform whether we want to make a pre-auction offer or bid at auction. We will act on your instructions and in your best interests in order to secure the property.
In the event that the proprety goes to auction, we can also bid on your behalf. We also have certain strategies to use in order to help secure the proprety.
If the seller accepts your offer or you have the winning bid at auction, then congratulations! You are almost at the finish line. The steps between offer acceptance / contract signing and settlement as just as important as you have now entered into a legal contract with the seller. We can liase with your mortgage broker, conveyancer and other advisors as need be in order for you to complete settlement.
Once the property has settled, then celebrations are in order!
Afterwards, we will have a review with you in order to understand how the entire process was for you overall and how we can continue to improve our services.
The Hills District of Sydney is located around 30 to 40km north west of Sydney. The Hills Shire Council is the local council for this region and is responsible for the suburbs running east of Old Windsor Road to Old Northern Road and for suburbs running north of the M2 Motorway all the way up to the Hawkesbury River at Wisemans Ferry.
This area is very popular due to its large range of amenities, housing options, public transport options and work options available. It also has some of the best public schools in the state of New South Wales, making it very popular for families.
The older suburbs of the Hills District will tend to have larger land sizes (in excess of 700m2), which makes it very popular for families looking to have a large backyard or a pool or just extra space.
The Hills District is a relatively affluent suburb with median weekly household incomes in excess of $2400 per week according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics 2001 Census.
Some of the most popular suburbs in the Hills District include: Baulkham Hills, Castle Hill, Cherrybrook, Dural, Glenhaven, Kellyville, Bella Vista, West Pennant Hills, Norwest and Rouse Hill.
