Case Study: Relling…the Dance of Selling & Renting…Simultaneously
July 2, 2020 – 2 minute read – by Don Binkley
The Situation:
Louise and her husband owned a luxury waterfront property in Sydney’s prestigious Northern Beaches however they were not Australian citizens. Moreover they were living overseas in their native homeland. As a result of increasing public pressure, the Australian Government increased Land Tax on non owner occupied by foreign nationals. The reality is that it did not make financial sense to keep the property. It was time to sell it but the market was sluggish and they did not want to exchange the property for under what it was worth. They were looking for a situation where they could take their time to find the right buyer. So Louise was looking for a solution where they could generate rent while selling it. They also had plans to come back to Australia as they had business in Sydney and while they were here they wanted to of course use it.

The Solution:
Property Providers engaged by first renting the the property as a luxury holiday rental over the lucrative December and January Period. After holiday goers exited, we pivoted the property into an executive rental targeting “extended stays” for the corporate relocation market. These were people who were looking for a “home away from home” for their migration to Sydney. The combination of the two, blended hospitality with property management. All at the same time, we collaborated with the sales agent for them to conduct open for inspections at the property with qualified buyers. We did so by committing to the property being cleaned prior to the inspections to ensure that showings were polished and professional.
The Result:
Triple Whammy! After the property being for sale for for a number of months, Louise sold the property (for over $7M!). At the same time Property Providers was able to generate just under $200K in rentals. This effectively paid for sales agents commission! The average booking value was $25K with an average stay of 27 nights. The owner won, the sales agent won, we won and there were a number of guests/tenants that received a wonderful Northern Beaches experience
