Some homes don’t need the spotlight. They don’t rely on bold marketing campaigns or open inspections to capture attention. Instead, they quietly connect with the right buyer through design, location, and above all, through the strength of trusted relationships.
This was the case with 511a Strathfieldsaye Road, a home nestled discreetly behind secure gates and mature trees in the heart of the Strathfieldsaye community. With over two acres of land, the property offered a genuine sense of retreat - private, peaceful and thoughtfully designed. The off-market launch of this property wasn’t about being grand or extravagant. It was about precision, quality and confidence.
The sale was led by McKean McGregor agent Jayden Donaldson, whose deep local knowledge and longstanding relationships allowed the process to begin quietly. Following a very short “coming soon” campaign, where Jayden introduced the property to a number of qualified buyers a record-breaking (at the time) result was achieved for Strathfieldsaye. At the core of this success is the strength of our buyer database - a resource we’ve cultivated with care and integrity. Every conversation, every inspection, every enquiry is an opportunity to understand people, not just property preferences. It’s not a numbers game; it’s about genuine connections and understanding people's needs. For sellers, it means their home is matched with buyers who aren’t just active, but aligned. It creates opportunities for quiet sales that are efficient, respectful, and grounded in trust.
“Having strong professional and personal ties to both the vendor and purchaser on this occasion allowed us to broker a deal from a position of trust and professionalism that has left both sides very happy with the outcome which is very pleasing.”- Jayden Donaldson, Listing Agent
For the sellers of this home, the off-market approach offered privacy and confidence that their property was in capable hands and was going to be seen by qualified and genuine buyers. For the purchasers, it was a rare chance to secure something special and unlike anything else on the market.
At McKean McGregor, we believe the best outcomes often come from strong relationships. It’s why we continue to invest in our community, our clients, and in the knowledge that success in real estate starts well before a home ever comes to market.
“Myself and the team at McKean McGregor pride ourselves on being able to help achieve record-breaking results in the Bendigo Region. When putting together transactions in this price bracket and with this calibre of property, there is a real need for a considered plan of attack that begins from the moment an agent walks into the property. I’d like to think plan with myself and McKean McGregor comes from a real position of experience, knowledge and most importantly trust.”
