72 Mcilwraith Street, Everton Park
When bringing a vacant property to market, many vendors assume that the home or a desirable location will automatically do the heavy lifting. This isn’t always the case – occasionally, the interested parties may not see exactly how the property will fit their lifestyle, or highlight the potential of the home.
The right combination of strategic preparation and targeted marketing can have an immense impact on the final result, transforming a standard sale into an extraordinary market outcome. By identifying the opportunities and unique value drivers of a home and tailoring the campaign to capture diverse buyer segments, agents can spark intense competition.
The campaign for 72 Mcilwraith Street, Everton Park stands as a prime example of how excellent strategy and positioning converts market interest into a historic premium price.

The Challenge: Understanding the Audience
The property at 72 Mcilwraith Street presented a complex challenge for the team. Situated on an expansive, elevated 809 square metre block, it featured a beautifully maintained character Queenslander that offered classic charm and comfortable family living. The dual nature of the property created a marketing dilemma. It was a highly desirable option for owner-occupiers seeking a spacious family home with hillside views, yet it simultaneously held considerable development appeal as a subdividable block.
The primary hurdle for the Sam and Josh team was determining how to drive the absolute best financial result from two completely different buyer profiles. Pitching too far toward developers risked ignoring the premium value of the existing home, whilst targeting only traditional families could mean missing out on the financial premium that investors and builders place on land value.
In addition to this, the property was being prepared for the market as a vacant house. Without furniture or styling, buyers may struggle to see a seamless transition from their previous home.
The Strategy: Split Marketing & Modern Styling
To bridge the gap between these distinct buyer groups, the team designed and executed a highly strategic campaign.
Dual-Layered Marketing: The promotional campaign was carefully split. It showcased the property as a family residence, whilst prominently highlighting the subdivision potential to catch the attention of investors.
Bespoke Buyer Support: To assist developers and analytical investors, the team worked directly with interested parties to formulate tailored feasibility studies. By simplifying the planning and regulatory details, they removed the guesswork and gave buyers the confidence to bid quickly.
Strategic Presentation: As the property was being prepared for market entirely vacant, Sam & Josh worked with the owners to coordinate neat and modern styling, beautifully highlighting its lifestyle appeal. This allowed traditional buyers to instantly envision themselves living in the light-filled interiors and entertaining on the huge covered deck.
The Outcome: Immediate & Qualified Interest
The response to the campaign was immediate and highly competitive, proving that the tailored marketing strategy hit its exact targets. Within just the first week of open home inspections, the energy surrounding the listing culminated in an exceptional result.
