Ben’s Place

Unit 95, 10 Murphy Ct., Everton Park Queensland

Introduction

Hi Ben, I’m here to help you sell your property!

My name is Ben Stokes and I represent an independent agency called Ben’s Realty.

I’ve been selling properties in Upper Kedron and surrounds for 15 years now. I’ve sold hundreds of properties like yours and have a proven process for getting quick results. After reviewing your Property Profile I know I could help you sell your place for a price well above your target price… and quickly!

Our Assessment

Diamond in the rough

An exquisite house on a beautiful plot of land.
This could set a suburb record.

We do a lot of work in Upper Kedron and most sales we see are in the $0.9M to $1.3M territory. 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 400-500m2.

Your house is a completely different territory. An unheard of 1,600m2 of land. Gorgeous views. Private fire pit area in the bush. Generous and spacious deck. Modern, luxurious fittings. It’s the kind of house we’d expect to see in Ascot, but with LAND.

We don’t foresee any issues with you selling for at least $1.4M. We actually expect we could sell this north of $1.6M at auction, which would set a record for the suburb.

We have the network, contacts and a diligent sales process to help make this a reality for you. We’d love the opportunity to talk you through this and help you get the price for this property that you deserve.

“As a real estate agent, ListBetter has opened up a whole new world of opportunities for me. I’ve been able to connect with clients I wouldn’t have met otherwise. The property profiles give me all the information I need to tailor my proposals effectively.”

Sandy Lee

“I was nervous about selling my first home, but ListBetter made the process so much easier. The platform guided me through creating a detailed property profile, and the agents who reached out were incredibly professional and helpful. I felt in control and supported throughout.”

Jane Hegarty
Gold Coast QLD, Australia

“Finding an agent has always been a gruelling experience. It’s hard to know who to trust – and you rarely have time to compare your options properly. ListBetter helped make this process easier and we couldn’t be happier with the agent who helped us list our house. We got a record sale for Upper Kedron!”

Ben Stokes
Everton Park QLD, Australia

“We had to sell quickly and I wanted to be sure we’d get the best price. Approach, experience and relevant examples in our area we’re really important. I hadn’t heard of ListBetter before but a friend put us on to it. We got 4 agent proposals back in under 48 hours. Our chosen agent then sold our property in 4 weeks for more than we’d hoped. We couldn’t be happier with the process and the results.”

Cel Thickins

Objective: Present a transparent and competitive fee structure that aligns with the value and services provided.
