Market commentary Most local residents are familiar with the benefits of living in this beautiful suburb. Indooroopilly is surrounded by two major golf courses (St Lucia Golf Links & Indooroopilly Golf Club), within the catchment of Queensland’s most reputable primary, secondary and tertiary education facilities, home to West Brisbane’s largest Shopping Centre, with exceptional public transport and borders the Brisbane River. 2018’s Global Liveability Report by The Economist Group, ranked Indooroopilly as Australia’s 8th most liveable suburb – interesting to note that this same top 10 list did not feature any Sydney suburbs. Indooroopilly’s current median house price is currently sitting at $870,000 (2019), down 1.9% in the past 12 months. The total number of house sales in 2018 for Indooroopilly was 122, down from the 136 sold in the previous year, a 10.3% drop in the total number of house sales. The uptrend in equities, job growth and retail spending has contributed to the incline in consumer confidence that’s supporting property prices. Whilst interest rates remain at historic lows (RBA cash rate 1.5% and most banks’ lending at under 4%), the stability in Brisbane’s prestige market is likely to continue as more buyers from Sydney and Melbourne recognise the lifestyle benefits and relative affordability of living in this great city. My team has had the pleasure of representing Indooroopilly’s finest home and we are honoured to have the opportunity to serve our valued clients by assisting them in achieving their property goals.

5 Nindethana Street, Indooroopilly Sold by Alex Jordan for $2,000,000 December 2018
“We have now bought and sold with Alex Jordan and his team and would highly recommend him to any prospective client. We previously found Alex highly professional, honest and easy to deal with. However, we selected Alex based on his answers to a series of questions we have put to 10 agents active in Indooroopilly. Alex demonstrated superior mathematical calculations involving land value and recent sales in justifying the asking price to potential buyers. He further impressed us with intelligent answers in all areas addressed. Alex’s commitment to achieve a positive result, supportive approach along with his meticulous buyer follow-up and strong negotiating expertise ensured an excellent outcome for us during a time when the market has slowed down with less buyers especially at the higher end. Alex is the consummate professional, pro-active, highly experienced in his field and can be totally relied on to act in your best interests. A huge thank you to Josh Condon and Nathan Jankovic for being phenomenal assistants, kind, supportive and for making the process easy for us in such many ways. Alex, we look forward to a continuing business relationship with you and McGrath.” Rastie and Erica van der Westhuizen

“We chose Alex Jordan’s team to market and sell our Indooroopilly property after we went through a process of interviewing a couple of agents who were visible in the area. After the interview we felt very comfortable with Alex and liked his approach to the sales process and the professionalism he displayed. Upon commencement of marketing and selling the property we found their attention to detail and communication to us was spot on and their understanding of the market we were selling to and the way the property needed to be presented to that market was again spot on. Then during the negotiations they remained on point and kept the communication flowing making us feel completely part of the process and in control and all the while getting the feedback necessary to allow decisions to be made. Selling your home is a stressful time for most but having Alex and his team on our side made our journey a little less stressful and we felt comfortable that our interests were being looked after in every respect. We could not recommend more highly Alex and his team for looking after the sale of your property.” Murray and Paula Creevey

“Dear Alex,
Lyn and I would like to thank you for your judgement and professionalism in the sale of our home of 32 years.
Your selection of a stylist to dress the house - I admit I was sceptical of the benefit until I saw the result - was astute. I’m convinced it had a substantial effect not just on the price, but on the sale itself.
The pricing bracket you identified subsequently, and the marketing program including the “Open House” inspections, which you proposed were appropriate and effective, with a minimum of disruption to our day-to-day living.
We’d particularly like to thank you for your negotiations with the purchaser over some adjustments on our behalf. You delivered a very strong outcome for us.
Thanks to you and your team for the effort which went into our successful outcome. We wish you well, and have no doubt your success will continue.”
Kind Regards, Lyn & Chris Brown

His attention to detail in presenting and marketing our property was excellent. We have no doubt that Alex was the right person to sell our house and recommend him highly.” Andrew Weir

“Thank you for selling my house Alex! When I decided to sell I contacted you initially because you are the number one agent in Indooroopilly. When I met you I then signed up immediately, without speaking to other agents, because I could see you had integrity and you are a good person. I gave you a difficult assignment, a third generation home with emotion attached – always difficult for an agent to navigate. In addition it was a quirky property (affectionately known as the white whale), with a wow factor but would not appeal to everyone. The market was also limited because of the high end price, but I knew the right person would love it and so did you. You stood by me and held firm with price where most agents would have buckled based on self-interest and sold me out by pressuring me to reduce my price dramatically to secure a sale. But you are not like most agents and that is why you are number one! I had agents calling me nearly every day circling like vultures trying to take the property away from you but I stood by you because you stood by me. I knew you would get the outcome for me and you did. You and your team have largely contributed to the increase in house values in the Indooroopilly suburb. You sold two houses close to my property at Indooroopilly, prior to selling mine, which immediately increased my bank valuation by about $300,000. But you then sold my property for about $200,000 more than the bank valuation. Within 12 months my borrowing capacity increased by $400,000 ($500,000 x 80%). Got to be happy with that! Although I am not going to miss mowing the lawn every Saturday morning and getting “The White Whale” in a presentable state, I will miss you and the boys. Hopefully we will keep in touch.” Cheers, Jo Healy

“We recently engaged Alex to sell our property in Indooroopilly. Alex was honest in his appraisal, demonstrated excellent real estate knowledge and negotiation skills and kept us informed at all stages of the process without us ever having to chase him. By the end of the process we had nicknamed Alex “the great communicator!” We are certainly happy to recommend him and his team at McGrath.” Louisa & Guy

Sold by Alex Jordan for $1,010,000 November 2017
“Over the years we have both bought and sold several properties but none as swiftly, painlessly, and professionally as we have with Alex Jordan. Alex recently sold our family home in Indooroopilly for a better than expected final price. From the very start Alex was the consummate professional advising us not only on presentation and marketing strategies but on an “Alternative Solutions Report” that once pursued and successfully completed meant that we could sell our home as a much larger commodity hence securing a greater outcome in its dollar value and overall sales price. Well done Alex! Alex is undoubtedly the hardest working, most astute, impeccable and meticulous agent we have ever worked with. He remains personally invested in the sale of ones property from styling to photo shoots, from marketing campaigns to skilful negotiations. Throughout the entire process Alex communicates well and always works for the seller and the seller’s best interest. We had never experienced this before when it came to selling a home and always found this process incredibly stressful and disappointing. We would highly recommend Alex. He is a person of great integrity in an industry where integrity and trust is usually greatly lacking. Alex Jordan is an inspiration. There is no one better!” Best wishes, Katrina Woodland and Joe Ottaway

“Alex and his team were thoroughly professional and from the very outset, left us feeling confident in their ability to achieve the best possible result. We were initially resistant to taking the extra steps that were suggested to us in terms of preparation but once we bit the bullet, it soon became evident that Alex was right. I have happily sung the praises of Alex and his team to anyone who will listen, ever since.” Regards, John Devlin
“I have happily sung the praises of Alex and his team to anyone who will listen, ever since.”
Long Pocket, The Golf Course Precinct An area of Indooroopilly that’s often referred to as the ‘Golf Course Precinct’ or ‘St Peter’s Precinct’. This pocket is surrounded by St Peter’s Lutheran College, St Lucia Golf Links, Indooroopilly Golf Club and the Brisbane River. It’s nearby The University of Queensland, Indooroopilly Shopping Centre and within the catchment area for the highly prized Ironside State School. Close to all of the top 10 sales were situated in this spectacular area of Indooroopilly, surrounding the ‘golden triangle’. The large parcels of land, along with the area being predominantly owner occupied are clear contributing factors to buyers being drawn to this area. It’s an ideal place to raise a family or invest.

“My wife Chrissie and I asked Alex to sell our house in May. The first open for inspection was on 28 July and settlement of the sale was on 9 October. Alex spent as much time before the first inspection as afterwards helping us. He gave a lot of helpful advice as to how to present the house for sale including a furniture makeover. He seemed willing to spend as much time with us on his visits as we wanted. His skill came to the fore when negotiations looked as though they might break down. He handles the situation so well by suggesting innovative provisions which made their way into a contract of sale. We certainly don’t begrudge him his fee. We would recommend him to any seller.” William Hart

“When looking to sell our family home in the Long Pocket area of Indooroopilly we interviewed a number of agents who each promoted their approach to sale. After our initial meeting with Alex Jordan we were immediately impressed with his approach, knowledge of the suburb and his proven success with other sellers. What stood out was the different options and innovative suggestions Alex made. No other agent was able to think laterally like Alex and he gave us great options to choose from. Alex made the process of selling our house as painless as possible and was respectful of our needs at all times. He kept us well informed on how the sale process was progressing and provided wise counsel when we entered negotiations with the buyers. When we got to what turned out to be our final price I remember Alex saying “I think we are done here”. He was right and we feel that Alex achieved the best possible result for us. We would have no hesitation in recommending Alex Jordan to you if you are looking to sell your home.” Thank you Alex, Barry and Bronwyn Shimmin-Clarke

“We chose Alex Jordan to market our property based on his excellent reputation. Alex has recently sold several properties in our neighbourhood. The feedback from our neighbours who have worked with Alex was very positive and they all spoke very highly of his professionalism. Our own experience with Alex was a very positive one and we cannot speak highly enough of him. Alex has the utmost integrity and professionalism and suggested a very realistic, market-related selling price. Often Agents will inflate expected selling prices in order secure a mandate, but Alex was honest about what we could achieve from the outset and backed up his appraisal with extensive knowledge of the local market. Throughout the process Alex demonstrated meticulous attention to detail and his wonderful team attended to every detail to ensure the process was seamless and stress free. I was extremely impressed with the marketing approach, the quality of the online marketing campaign and the dedicated approach in which we received constant feedback from Alex. Alex is a credit to his profession and sets the benchmark to which other Agents could only aspire. We would like to congratulate Alex on his success and would highly recommend him.” Sandra and Bruce Woodroffe

“Selling our family home after 19 years was filled with a gigantic mixture of emotions. After significant research of current agents, we needed to find someone we could place our trust in, someone who would listen to us, someone who was honest and of course someone who would work for us.
Alex Jordan exceeded our criteria. He came to us with a terrific sales record and an impressive statistical and theoretical analysis of the market. But he is more than just numbers, we found a highly professional agent with an affable, polite and respectful disposition and an unbelievable commitment to process and to integrity and to US the client.
Throughout this transition from decision to sell to final contract and beyond Alex has been with us – sometimes leading - sometimes from behind giving us a little nudge where needed but always walking with us. He knew what was needed he knew when and how to help us through this journey.
He gave so willingly of his time, effort, energy and dedication that can only come from a person who has integrity and compassion. He was the consummate agent. We are proud to say he was our agent.”

32 Ivy Street, Indooroopilly Sold by Alex Jordan for $3,250,000 December 2016
“We first heard of Alex Jordan through family members. We were assured that he would definitely be the person to sell our much-loved family home. This came at a time when we were dissatisfied and feeling somewhat intimidated by our agent, who insisted on an expensive advertising campaign and auction.
Disappointed in the lack of options being presented to us, we took our home off the market whilst we researched Alex’s work in the Indooroopilly area. We contacted Alex about various properties he was selling, which included a large land development in the neighbourhood.
Alex came to our home and patiently posed various options whilst offering advice. Alex presented as knowledgeable and the ultimate professional in his field. We had interest in our home within a couple of days, even though the house was still off market.
Alex then proved to be a highly skilled negotiator, and a caring, perceptive person who works for the satisfaction of both vendor and purchaser. We believe Alex’s professional expertise, juxtaposed with his insightful and supportive approach ensured an excellent outcome for both ourselves and the buyer. We have no hesitation in recommending Alex Jordan as an ethical, energetic, and highly experienced person in his field.”

“Anxiety Question How do you select a real estate agent for your family home when it needs to be brought to the market? It’s been your parents’ home for five decades and it’s been recently renovated, both functionally and also opulently styled to meet both their desires and needs which may juxtapose the yearnings of the current marketplace. Competency Question What if there was an agent who would respect your needs, who is punctual with appointments, generous with their time, objective in their marketing. What if this agent was dynamic and confident yet without a hint of pretentiousness? What if this agent wanted to promote the sale of your most valuable asset ahead of their own image? Could this person successfully transmute the alchemy of an agent from a basic need to an essential necessity? Feature Statement Alex Jordan, McGrath Paddington.” Paul Roobottom

We can’t thank you enough for the way you handled the sale of our house. You were both sensitive and professional in all that you did. You had obviously done a great deal of preparation before the house even came on the market. To sell in less than a week and for a premium price was beyond our expectations and our dreams. At all times you were solicitous, concerned for our well being and empathetic. Once the house was officially listed, we were amazed by your knowledge and instincts. You made us feel we were your only clients that week, yet you sold four other houses at the same time! You advised us regularly of progress on the sale and obviously were working very hard between phone calls. We were blown away by your nerves of steel, and by the way you were so intent and concentrated on securing the best possible result for us. With your great advice, you actually made the whole process exciting rather than a trial. Everything you advised turned out to be right, including the marketing strategy and your valuation of the house. You know the market extremely well, and thoroughly understand all elements of your profession. On a personal level, we have so appreciated your reassurances, advice on presentation of the house, kindness, honesty and integrity, and your enthusiasm. It was fun working with you, Alex; thank you so much for not being a ‘typical real estate agent’! You are one in a million and we love your work!” Warm regards Ann and Richard Merson
