Rose Bay Garden Apartment

Ryan would drive us to view homes in our area and in our price range. Most were off market. We would never have found them ourselves.

Due to the Minns government’s recent introduction of the Low and Mid-Rise Housing Policy (LMR), our much loved family home of 34 years, a charming federation house with a picket fence and sunny back garden on a quiet street in Rose Bay, is going to be monstered on every side by huge developments of apartment blocks seven and eight stories high. We had no choice but accept the final offer of the developer who had already signed up the row of homes adjacent to ours. We assumed we would need the long settlement time to try and find a suitable new abode and that we would need to face the extra hassle of renting if we were still looking when the developer gave us notice to vacate.

It was all sudden, traumatic, daunting.

A good friend suggested we acquire the service of a Buyer’s Agent – one that came with the highest of recommendations. Ryan Glick.

At our very first meeting we found Ryan positive and reassuring. He said no matter how long it took he would find a home for us that we would love as much as our previous home and at the right price.

There were a lot of boxes to tick. We wanted to move out of the LMR zone but stay in Rose Bay where we had so many friends. We were ok with downsizing to a semi or an apartment, but we didn’t want to give up a sunny living room with a balcony or a sunny garden. We still wanted to be in walking distance to shops. Oh, and we wanted quiet, with no traffic noise even on the balcony or in the garden.

Ryan immediately started tapping into his networks to locate the best off-market opportunities and within a few days he had found properties for us to view. They were very close to what we wanted. Every week Ryan would drive us to view homes and units in our area and in our price range. Most were off market. We would never have found them ourselves.

It was so good knowing Ryan, with all his expertise and knowledge of the market, was on our case. We no longer felt anxious.

Within six months, Ryan’s promise to find us a new home to love came true! An apartment with all the boxes ticked! Ryan negotiated well for us and did all the due diligence.

Thanks to Ryan we now have a new home we just love and we couldn’t be happier.

Ryan Glick is a fantastic Buyer’s Agent and a pleasure to work with.
