Derelict house creates frenzy

A mother, daughter and previously grandparents had been living in this house for nearly a century. The mother and her husband had been collecting items for decades. We wanted to help Catherine move on and this property certainly created excitement in the market.

I had known Catherine from primary school and she wanted someone who would genuinely look after the sale. We marketed the property as a knock down and with it being a tightly held street, the entry price level attracted a lot of buyers. On auction day we had over 10 registered bidders with multiple bids resulting a huge price above reserve.
