The client’s brief
The clients engaged MPS for independent buyer advocacy in Melbourne’s north-east. The goal was to secure a family home offering space, flexibility and sound value—without allowing the sales process to push the purchase beyond an evidence-based limit.
The home: 4 Elgata Court, Diamond Creek
Set in a quiet court with a treetop outlook, the property combined a substantial allotment with flexible accommodation:
- four bedrooms, three bathrooms and two-car accommodation;
- approximately 1,000 m² of land;
- a self-contained downstairs studio with kitchenette and bathroom;
- multiple living and outdoor entertaining areas; and
- a family-friendly Diamond Creek location.
Property details and the reported sale result are summarised from the realestate.com.au sold listing. The listing records a sale price of $960,000 on 24 September 2026.
Independent assessment and negotiation
MPS assessed the property independently of the selling campaign and established a disciplined negotiation position around the client’s priorities and budget. Mark then managed the negotiation directly, keeping the focus on evidence rather than sales pressure.
The property was secured for $960,000—below the lower end of the advertised quoting range.
Why the property suited the clients
- Space and flexibility: four bedrooms and a large allotment provided room for the family’s needs.
- Versatile studio: the self-contained lower level offered options for extended family, guests, working from home or other future uses.
- Location: the quiet court position and leafy outlook supported the family lifestyle sought in Diamond Creek.
- Price discipline: the agreed purchase price remained below the quoting range rather than being driven upward by the campaign.
The outcome
The family secured a substantial Diamond Creek home for $960,000, below the lower end of the quoted range. The result reflects the value of an independent assessment, a clear limit and negotiation conducted solely for the buyer.
Congratulations to Samantha Scott and her family on their new home.
Every property, campaign and negotiation is different. This case study records one client’s result and is not a promise of future price or investment performance.
