How We Helped Stacey & Darren Secure Their New Office in Broadmeadow

Darren and Stacey are extraordinarily hard working business owners who realised that their current office space was no longer sufficient for their expanding team. They were in need of a larger more suitable office space.  

However, as busy professionals juggling numerous commitments already, they lacked the time and expertise required to navigate the commercial real estate landscape in Newcastle. This is where we stepped in. 

The Hurdles 

Darren and Stacey’s biggest enemy was time. With hectic schedules and their current lease set to expire in months, they faced the pressing challenge of securing a new office space promptly. Both also acknowledged that they weren’t experts when it came to buying commercial real estate. They were uncertain about what would make a wise investment, one that would not only meet their business needs but also prove financially smart. 

Another challenge was finding a property that met their specific search criteria but didn’t break their budget. Negotiating a favourable purchase price was paramount, but without the experience to do so effectively and efficiently, they needed a trusted partner to advocate for their interests. 

The Process 

We worked closely with Darren and Stacey to understand their unique business requirements. Our journey began with a detailed strategy session where we delved into their needs, desires, budget constraints and determined a floor space that would accommodate business growth. This session laid the foundation for our tailored approach to their property search. 

Our dedicated team immediately took on the legwork, leveraging our extensive network of local commercial agents. Numerous phone calls were made, and several off-market properties were discovered, each assessed to ensure they met Darren and Stacey's narrow criteria. 

One particular property in Georgetown stands out. We identified this property as being adjacent to a sale nearly a year prior, which at face value seemed to fit the bill. We approached the owner directly and had the opportunity to inspect that premises without involving a real estate Agent. 

Negotiating on their behalf, we secured a purchase price that not only fit within their budget but also represented great value for money. Throughout the process we liaised and coordinated with their broker, financial planner, accountant, and conveyancer to streamline the process. Beyond the purchase, we continued to assist by connecting them with industry professionals to facilitate an office fit out that was fit-for-purpose.  

The Result 

In just under 7 weeks, Chamberlain Brown helped Darren and Stacey find and purchase a new office space that was perfect for their business. The job didn’t stop there however, with Chamberlain Brown supporting Stacey & Darren through the settlement process and beyond.
