Buyers Advocate helped first-home buyers secure a four-bedroom family home in Narre Warren South while navigating a competitive property market. Working with Buyers Advocate Leigh McConnon, the clients received expert property assessment, negotiation support and ongoing guidance through to settlement, helping them successfully purchase the right home with confidence.
The clients ultimately secured a spacious four-bedroom home on approximately 670m², with Leigh’s experience proving particularly valuable during negotiations with the vendor and selling agent.
Buying a first home in a market where good homes attract strong interest
Upsizing to a larger family home can be challenging, particularly when searching in a competitive property market where suitable homes can attract significant buyer interest.
For these clients, the challenge was not simply finding a property—it was identifying the right home that provided the additional space and lifestyle benefits they needed, while successfully navigating negotiations with the vendor and selling agent.
Having an experienced buyer’s advocate on their side provided valuable guidance when assessing potential properties and determining which opportunities were worth pursuing. The clients needed someone who could independently assess the suitability and value of each property, provide informed market advice and develop a negotiation strategy to help secure the right home.
As reflected in their testimonial, Leigh’s expertise was particularly valuable in helping them select the right property and navigate negotiations in a competitive market, ultimately helping them get the purchase successfully across the line.
Buyers Advocate acts exclusively for buyers. There is no conflicting interest in the sale, the price or the outcome — only the client’s brief.
A family home with space, function and long-term appeal
Based on the successful purchase, the clients were looking for a family home offering:
- Four bedrooms
- Two bathrooms
- Two car spaces
- Generous land
- Suitable family living spaces
- Strong long-term owner-occupier appeal
- Access to local amenities and services
The brief was not simply about square metres. The clients wanted a home capable of supporting their needs both now and into the future.
Independent advice, then disciplined negotiation
Buyers Advocate Leigh McConnon worked closely with the clients to help them identify and secure a suitable first home.
Throughout the search, Leigh provided expert advice to help the clients assess potential properties and determine which opportunities were worth pursuing. This independent guidance was particularly valuable for first-home buyers navigating the property market and making one of the largest financial decisions of their lives.
Once the right property was identified, Leigh represented the clients during negotiations with the vendor and selling agent. In what the clients described as a highly competitive market, his negotiation experience was vital in helping get the purchase successfully across the line.
Importantly, the Buyers Advocate team’s involvement did not end once the contract was signed. Leigh remained available to provide advice through to settlement, while the team also assisted with the final inspection and helped the clients gain approval for early access to their new home.
