Strong results in tightly held prestige locations are built on trust, experience, and the ability to navigate complexity with confidence. At 66/1 Macquarie Street, Sydney, Sales Executive Ettiene West from Morton Real Estate secured a record price of $3,450,000 prior to auction for an unrenovated one bedroom apartment with secure parking. The property was tenanted throughout the campaign, which added layers of complexity to presentation and buyer access. Ettiene worked closely with the tenant to manage presentation respectfully and effectively, ensuring the apartment was showcased as well as possible while maintaining a cooperative and professional process for all parties.

The campaign attracted strong buyer attention, generating high enquiry levels and consistent inspections over the marketing period. Despite the apartment being unrenovated, Ettiene positioned the property around its irreplaceable Macquarie Street address, long term value, and rare opportunity within the building. Private inspections were handled carefully, creating momentum while managing the realities of a tenanted home. Ettiene’s calm negotiation style and deep understanding of buyer motivations allowed him to guide discussions confidently toward a pre auction outcome that stood head and shoulders above expectations.

A key driver behind the result was the longstanding relationship Ettiene holds with the buyer’s family. This transaction marked the third successful sale Ettiene has facilitated for them on Macquarie Street, built on years of trust, consistency, and proven outcomes. That history gave the buyer confidence to act decisively, while the vendor benefited from a smooth and certain sale without proceeding to auction. From Morton Real Estate’s perspective, this result reinforces the value of experience, relationship driven sales, and thoughtful strategy, particularly when handling premium tenanted properties in blue chip Sydney locations.
