Case Study: How Susan Sold Her Gladesville Apartment for a Record Price (Despite Strata Issues)

Executive Summary

When Susan decided to sell her apartment in Gladesville, NSW, she knew it wouldn’t be easy. The property had known strata issues, and it was in a complex with tough competition. She wanted to get a fair price, at the very least, what she originally paid for it.

Instead, she ended up selling for $850,000, the highest price in the complex that year.

This outcome wasn’t just luck. It came down to the right agent, the right strategy, and the support of Which Real Estate Agent (WREA).

The home sold in just 16 days, and Susan was able to move into a more accessible home closer to local shops, thanks to the great result.
