After five months of unsuccessfully hunting for the right principal place of residence, it was a change in tact that helped this buyer find the perfect property for his budget and his family's needs. Smart Property Investment's Phil Tarrant sits down with Russell Stephenson, together with his buyer's agent Rebecca Hall of Hallmarq Property Group, to review how Rebecca assisted Russell in clinching a $2.6 million "chateau on the plateau" property in the Northern Beaches in just five days. Russell, Momentum Media's commercial division director, shares what to look for in a buyer's agent and his whirlwind experience with Rebecca that helped him and his wife discover an off-market property with an exceptional view and good growth potential. For her part, Rebecca shares her team's process and strategy that helps them have access to off-market properties and underscores the importance of going the extra mile, like how she helped save Russell's family Christmas.
