The power of a real estate network that really networks!

We were reminded of this trait during the week during a very successful property sale, and we thought it would be a timely opportunity to share the details with you, as it carries a very important lesson for anyone planning on selling in our area.

The sale in question involved a 3-bedroom home in Robinson Road, (pictured), at the north end of Preston. Officially, this area is known as Reservoir. Many locals refer to it as Regent. But it’s also very much a part of the Preston scene, being a short walk from Regent stations and handy to several Preston icons like the Food Truck Park and the Market.

This was one of those popular properties that offer the low maintenance lifestyle of a unit, but with its own street frontage and driveway, and no Owners’ Corporation fees. Another feature that was even more unusual was that all three bedrooms had their own ensuite, opening the door for those buyers looking for a floorplan that could accommodate overnight guests or even extended family for longer stays.

The power of a real estate network

All that aside, the feature of this sale that really made an impact for us was that this property was sold for an extremely good price…$725,000 in fact…through the combined efforts of the Barry Plant Preston and Reservoir teams. Yes, a prime example of what happens when a real estate network really ‘networks’!

What many people don’t realise is that whilst there are a large number of real estate chains in Victoria that share logos and colour schemes, not all of them actually work together in the interests of individual vendors. Indeed, it’s fair to say that some of them are actually competing against each other for business at times.

The Barry Plant real estate network is different. Every sales person in every Barry Plant office genuinely has full incentive to introduce buyers to every property listed for sale within the group…no matter which office has listed it. That means that our vendors can benefit from broader exposure to more buyers.

The results speak for themselves…as we posted earlier this week, Barry Plant sells more property in Victoria than any other network.

So, if you are considering selling, and would like to discover the difference that a real estate network that really networks can make to your result, feel free to give us a call.
