Fast facts
The situation
Jackie and Graham had called 8 Jack Place home for 17 years. With retirement on the horizon and a move north planned, they needed a smooth, successful sale of a home they loved and had poured themselves into. Their expectation was $1,400,000.
The strategy
Junaid saw an opportunity beyond a standard campaign. Knowing Kuraby's strong community feel and the story behind the home, he developed a marketing approach built around Jackie and Graham themselves. A heartfelt video featuring the couple brought buyers into the emotional reality of the property, creating genuine buzz before launch. The auction was designed as a neighbourhood event, complete with an ice cream van, turning the day into something people wanted to be part of.
The result
The atmosphere on auction day was electric. Neighbours gathered alongside serious buyers. Two determined bidders pushed the price to $1,600,000, a record result for the area and $200,000 above the sellers' expectation. Achieved in 21 days, with no staging required.
Why this matters if you're selling in Kuraby
Buyers don't just purchase square metres. They purchase a feeling, a story, a future. Junaid's ability to craft that story, and then engineer the competition to match it, is what turned a $1,400,000 expectation into a $1,600,000 result. If you're thinking about selling in Kuraby, this is what's possible.
"What can I say about Junaid? He's straightforward, honest and he's the sort of bloke who wants more for his sellers than even they want. His marketing was great and we even got to be part of it. He brought a huge crowd to our auction, and sold it well above our expectations. He kept us up to date every single step of the way. And because we were retiring, his goal was to allow us to retire in comfort. Thank you Junaid."
