55 Forbes Street, Turner

When Sales Agents Josh Wilson and Kym Layton from Momentum Property were referred a townhouse in Turner by past clients from Denman Prospect, they knew the opportunity was special. What they didn’t know was that it would also become a milestone: their very first listing and their first scheduled auction under the Momentum brand.

A standout townhouse in a tightly held pocket

The home at 55 Forbes Street was impressive in scale and rare for the area. With four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a four-car garage, it offered generous proportions not often seen in inner-city townhouse living. But the campaign wasn’t without its challenges.

Several three-bedroom townhouses in the same complex had been sitting on the market for over a year, with one recently selling below its owner’s expectations. It meant Josh and Kym needed a clear strategy: they weren’t aiming for large crowds, they were aiming for the right buyers.

And those buyers appeared almost immediately. While the numbers across the opens were steady rather than overwhelming, the people who came through were engaged from the start.

Presenting the home at its best

The seller was still living in the property, so Josh and Kym supported her with partial styling to help the home shine online and in person. Using her existing furniture as the base, the team’s stylist added key pieces to elevate each space and maximise the property’s appeal.

The marketing package was one of Momentum’s most polished yet.

It marked a series of “firsts” for Josh and Kym at Momentum and the results spoke for themselves.

Strong interest, fast negotiation, and a premium result

Among the early viewers was a family who showed strong interest straight away. They submitted an initial offer around the 1.8 million range, which Josh and Kym negotiated up to 1.85 million.

Armed with that strong starting point, the team went back to the sellers with a clear recommendation and returned to the buyers with a strategic counteroffer of 1.875 million.

They accepted.

The property was sold within just two weeks, well before the planned auction date.

When the right buyers meet the right home

This sale is the perfect example of how momentum builds when presentation, communication, and timing align. The buyers were a lovely family who instantly connected with the home. The seller was trusting, cooperative, and open to advice. Together, it created the ideal environment for a premium result.

And in a fitting full-circle moment, Josh and Kym are now preparing to sell the buyer’s apartment—a sign of the trust and rapport built throughout the campaign.

55 Forbes Street wasn’t just a successful sale; it was a confident beginning to a new era for Momentum’s sales team.
