Private residential sales, Melbourne

Maison Aurelia

We represent fine homes in the inner east. Two principals, one brief, and a quiet market.

Search Properties Est. 2015. 214 settlements.

A short list, sold carefully.

We are not a portal with a shopfront. We take on a small number of homes each year, price them properly in the first week, and sell them to people we have met.

  • One agent, start to finish. The person who values your home is the person who shows it and negotiates for it. No handover, no junior on the day of the open.
  • Pricing argued, not guessed. We put three written offers in front of you on day one, each with the evidence behind it, so the first number you see is a considered one.
  • Discretion as standard. Photographs taken without a sign on the street. Viewings by appointment. We do not tell the neighbours before the contracts are signed.

How we work

Three ways to work with us.

Most of what we sell never reaches a portal. Ask for the private list.

Private network: 41 registered buyers, most of whom never see a portal listing.

We take on six to eight sales a year. You get one principal from the first valuation to the handing over of keys, and a written marketing plan before anything goes on the market.

  • Written valuation with three comparable sale prices
  • Photography, floor plan and copy written in house
  • Weekly reporting on every enquiry received

If the home you want is not listed, it is often still available. We work a register of buyers who are told first, and we negotiate the terms on your behalf.

  • Access to off-market and quietly sold homes
  • Independent building and pest reports arranged
  • Negotiation handled by the principal, not a junior

Not every home needs to be sold by us. Some do. We will tell you which one is true, and what your home would actually bring in the current fortnight rather than in the spring.

  • Honest pricing, including when it is lower
  • A strategy for the first two weeks on market
  • Advice on what to fix and what to leave alone
