BACKGROUND
Erfan and Dinny had been searching for a freestanding home on their own for nearly 6 months after selling their townhouse in Woodcroft and moving to Kellyville on rent. They wanted to upgrade into a better suburb and were initially focused on Kellyville and Baulkham Hills.
After engaging us, we had a detailed strategy session where we recommended expanding their search to include North Kellyville, Beaumont Hills, Kellyville Ridge, Rouse Hill, The Ponds, and Schofields, based on budget fit, school zones, public transport access, and capital growth potential.
Key Requirements:
- Freestanding single or double-storey home, ideally with 1 bedroom on the ground floor.
- 3+ bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 car space, study/office preferred.
- Land over 300sqm, decent backyard, ample sunlight & ventilation.
- No carpet or swimming pool, not in bushfire/flood zones.
- Proximity to good primary school, and access to metro station within 15 minutes.
- Structurally sound home with potential for cosmetic renovation (up to $40k).
- Good street appeal and location in a socioeconomically strong suburb.
OUR APPROACH
At Hills and Shores – Property Buyers, we followed a focused, strategic method to shift their 6-month search into a confident, successful purchase within weeks:
1. Consultation and Analysis
- We unpacked their frustrations from earlier searches and provided guidance aligned with work commute needs, health-related preferences (e.g. no carpet), and family priorities.
2. Suburb Selection and Property Shortlisting
- We identified suburbs offering better value for money with lifestyle alignment, focusing on North Kellyville, The Ponds, and Glenwood.
3. Inspection and Due Diligence
- We inspected multiple homes, with one in North Kellyville nearly finalised, until a better opportunity arose in The Ponds, offering superior orientation, layout, and upgrade potential.
4. Negotiation and Auction Bidding Strategy
- The chosen property was scheduled for auction. We completed full due diligence, prepared a strong value position, and successfully secured the home on auction day, less than one month after onboarding.
SUCCESSFUL ACQUISITION
The home in The Ponds exceeded expectations:
- Single-level layout, good-sized backyard, and no carpet.

- Within 13 minutes’ walking distance to the metro station.
- Zoned to high-performing primary and high schools.
- Close to parks and lakes.
