Dear Neighbour,
Looking to sell your property?
Let me tell you how this really works.
Most agents will not.
We get paid almost the same whether your home sells for [$X] or [$X plus 40,000].
Sit with that for a second.
An offer comes in.
It is not the number you were hoping for, but it is close enough.
Now the agent has a choice.
Take the easy money.
Pocket the paper.
Get the sign down by Friday.
Or go back out and do the hard part.
Chase every single buyer who walked through that door.
Open the house at 6:30 on a Tuesday night, because that is the only time the couple from Burnside can get there.
Ring people back on a Sunday afternoon.
All to find one more person who wants your house.
Most agents take the easy money.
And you never find out.
You sign.
You shake hands.
You move on.
And the second buyer, the one who would have gone another [$30,000] to beat the first, never gets a call back.
That is not a horror story.
That is a normal Tuesday in Caroline Springs.
So here is how I work.
My name is Nathan Hunt.
I sell homes in Caroline Springs, Burnside, Burnside Heights, Taylors Hill, Deanside, Fraser Rise and Delahey.
Over 15 years of it.
Here is my process. Hold me to every line.
I open the house late. Up to 6:30 and past it.
Half the buyers out here are tradies and shift workers.
They cannot make a 10:30 Saturday morning.
A buyer who cannot get through the door cannot bid.
I call buyers back myself.
On the weekend. Not Monday.
I answer emails the same day I get them.
And when someone says "we like it, but we are still looking", I do not write them off.
I keep talking to them.
Because that person is the one who pushes your price up.
One buyer sets your price. Two buyers set a better one.
That is the whole game.
It has always been the whole game.
One buyer offers whatever they feel like offering.
Two buyers offer whatever the loser is willing to stretch to.
So my job is not to sell your house.
Any agent can sell your house.
My job is to have more than one person wanting it on the same weekend.
When two buyers are ready, I tell them both the truth.
There is competition.
Put your best number forward.
No games. No phantom bidders.
Just the fact that someone else wants your home.
And if we go to auction, you get a specialist auctioneer from the Harcourts network in your corner, battling for you.
Their whole job is keeping bidders moving past the point they swore they would stop.
That is where the last [$10,000 to $30,000] usually comes from.
Now here is what I want you to do.
Let me come through your home.
Free appraisal. Fifteen to thirty minutes. Costs you nothing.
Here is what you walk away with.
A real number for what your home is worth today, with the recent sales that back it up.
The two or three things worth fixing.
And the things not worth a dollar.
A straight answer on auction or private sale, and why.
Fees and timelines. In writing.
If the number is lower than you were hoping, I will tell you to your face.
I would rather lose the listing than talk you into a price I cannot deliver.
Then spend six weeks walking you back down from it.
You have had that done to you before.
Or you know someone who has.
You only sell this house once.
There is no second go at it.
Whatever it sells for is the price.
And you live with it.
So the question is not who has the nicest brochure.
It is who is still making phone calls on a Sunday afternoon when the easy sale is already sitting on the table.
Get a real number.
Then decide.
Sincerely,
Nathan Hunt
A listing is easy. Creating competition takes strategy.
The strongest price usually comes from careful preparation, emotional marketing, active buyer follow-up and negotiation that does not leave money on the table.
List it and wait
The minimum-effort approach
- Generic pricing and marketing copied from similar listings
- Limited guidance before photography and launch
- Passive follow-up once buyers leave the inspection and little negotiation
- Low database of potential buyers
- Pressure to accept the first reasonable offer
Build emotion and competition
A campaign designed to get more
- Suburb-specific appraisal and sales strategy
- Practical advice on preparation, styling and maintenance
- Goes the extra mile - evening and weekend open houses
- Extensive database of potential buyers
- Structured negotiation aimed at the strongest possible outcome
Everything that goes into a stronger price, handled for you
Six parts of the campaign, each one there to put another buyer in the room on the day it matters.
Appraisal you can check
A real number for your home today, with the recent comparable sales that support it, so you can judge it yourself.
Property preparation
The two or three things genuinely worth doing before you list, and just as importantly, the things not worth a dollar.
Campaign marketing
Professional photography, digital exposure and positioning built to reach the buyers actually shopping in your suburb.
Inspections after hours
Open homes run to 6:30 in the evening and beyond, because a buyer who cannot get through the door cannot bid.
Personal buyer follow-up
Every enquiry called back by Nathan, on weekends, until each buyer is either in or genuinely out.
Negotiation and auction
Offers managed to the last dollar, with a specialist auctioneer from the Harcourts network in your corner, battling for every bid.
Homes sold recently with the best price secured
Recent sales across Caroline Springs and the surrounding suburbs, straight from RateMyAgent.

Consultation and appraisal
We walk the property, talk through your timing and goals, and give you a real number backed by the recent local sales that support it.
Prepare the property
The two or three things worth doing, and the things not worth a dollar. Presentation work is prioritised by what actually moves buyers.
Launch the campaign
Professional media and targeted promotion, with inspections run at hours working buyers can actually attend.
Create competition
Every enquiry followed up personally, including weekends, so more than one buyer is ready at the same time.
Negotiate and settle
Offers managed to the last dollar, contracts and settlement handled, and you kept informed at every stage.
The themes clients mention again and again

Awards are not the reason to choose an agent, but they provide reassurance that local service and results have been recognised year after year.




Caroline Springs and Melbourne’s western corridor
Suburb knowledge matters when pricing a home, understanding buyer demand and explaining the lifestyle factors that influence value.
Before you put your property on the market
Your appraisal considers recent comparable sales, land size, layout, condition, location, buyer demand and the features that distinguish your home from competing properties.
Not necessarily. Nathan focuses on practical improvements that may strengthen presentation and buyer appeal without encouraging unnecessary spending. The right advice depends on the home and its likely buyer market.
Many campaigns run for around four to six weeks, although timing varies with pricing, presentation, property type, market conditions and enquiry levels. Strategy may be adjusted as real buyer feedback comes in.
Campaigns may include professional photography, video, online listings, targeted digital promotion, database marketing and open homes. The recommended mix is tailored to your property and audience.
Interested buyers are followed up, feedback is reviewed and you receive a clear update on enquiry, objections and likely next steps. Strong interest is managed carefully to build competition where possible.
Yes. The report and appraisal discussion are designed to help you understand the current market and your options. You are not required to list the property.
