Smart Minded Mates
π€ Meet Phill β and His Smart-Minded Mates
Phill owns a rural property he wants to sell β and so do two of his friends, Garry and Steve.
All three properties are in the same area, and all need a bit of work to be market-ready.
Real estate agents quoted them $15,000 each in commission β thatβs $45,000 combined, just to get listed.
Instead, the three mates made a clever move.
They decided to team up, save big, and hire Rundown to Ready together.

We do not provide pricing advice or market evaluations.
We provide access, presentation, and support onsite β and direct all buyer negotiations straight back to the owners.

Why It Worked:
The trio sold their properties privately, without separate agent agreements.
They shared costs, maximised presentation, and even played their properties off one another to boost urgency in buyers.
The least popular sold first β the rest followed quickly, and everyone walked away ahead.
