Due to working long full time hours and living in Melbourne, I thought the only way I was going to make living in the Northern Rivers a reality would be to engage a buyers advocate. Felicity was recommended via the Ocean Shores FB Community page. I met her online and instantly felt she "had the goods". This turned my vision of moving to Northern Rivers from "some day...." into "....I'm doing it!".

Felicity was a pleasure to work with for the following reasons - we cast the net wide to begin with, and refined the brief/parameters as we both came to understand exactly what my criteria was (even down to me prioritising what I wanted as a mandatory, nice to have, non essential etc. this helped a lot).

One of my mandatories was non flood zone area, so Felicity saved me countless hours and exposure to risk by fielding all these properties and not even presenting them to me.

Felicity also provided me access to off market properties, has extensive knowledge of the local area (which I just can't grasp from google map in Melbourne...) and was extremely thorough / energetic / positive / determined in her quest to find the right property for me.

The videos, phone calls, voice messages on our What's Apps, were such an efficient way to navigate through the buying process whilst still balancing all my other Melb responsibilities. As a sole purchaser, it was so reassuring to have Felicity as a coach/mentor. It took the 'heaviness' out of the process that would have been there if I was doing this on my own. I think I would have ended up in a "stuck fog" without Felicity's expertise and extensive local market knowledge.

Felicity found me a property that delivered on all my mandatory variables and ticked so many of my "nice to have's" - more than I thought my modest budget could deliver. We factored on negotiating a purchase price that gave me enough money within my budget to do the necessary improvements to address any immediate repair/maintenance issues identified on the Build & Pest Report plus give the property a courtyard landscape make-over. No property is ever going to 10/10 perfect but you can have a strategy to get a 7 or 8 out of 10, and a plan to address any non deliverables.

Felicity's fee was money well spent and a very wise choice to make sure that the property I purchased "stacked up" and was purchased with as much expertise available in a timely and low stress manner. I encourage you to meet Felicity to gain an understanding of exactly what service/process she provides, so you can decide if this is the missing link to making your "sometime home" become your "now home".
