The method
How Ben assesses a property.
The method is deliberately unglamorous. Look harder at the property than the marketing invites you to, read the campaign honestly, and keep every recommendation traceable to evidence. Where judgment is required, Ben shows which facts support it and what remains uncertain.
- 01
Define the real decision
Before any inspection, we get clear on what you actually need the property to do. A good brief removes more homes than it adds, which is the point.
- 02
Examine the property, below the suburb
Land, light, location and layout, read at the level of the block and the street rather than the postcode average.
- 03
Read the campaign around it
Comparable sales, the number of serious buyers and how the selling agent is running the process. This determines the negotiating range and how firmly to hold it.
- 04
Recommend on evidence you can follow
A defensible value range and a strategy you can see the logic of, so the offer is a decision rather than a hope.
The evidence, tile by tile
What each part of the assessment covers
Discuss your search
Start with the decision, not the engagement.
Tell Ben what you are trying to do. The first conversation is about whether and how to proceed, and it is genuinely useful whether or not you go further.
