When position is matched by quality, the result is rarely in doubt.
A multi-level, four-bedroom penthouse at Hastings Park, a world-class trophy address in Noosa Heads, attracted national and international interest to the recent auction.
Right on Noosa Main Beach, with eagle-eye views stretching along the white sand to the Noosa North Shore, Coloured Sands and yonder, the location has been described as ‘the crème de la crème’.
For good reason. Ostensibly floating in the dress circle, with massive spirit-stirring terraces and a rooftop for those inviting seascapes, the stars aligned on auction day for the father-and-daughter team of Tom Offermann and Rebekah Offermann.
Bidding started at $8m with multiple keen bidders. It was sold under the hammer for $12.51m, prompting an incredibly loud and long round of applause.
The champagne flowed for the jubilant buyers and sellers before the ink had even dried on the 30-day contract.
“Representing the owners was an absolute joy for Rebekah and me,” Tom Offermann said, who had helped them purchase the penthouse more than 30 years ago.
“They bought it new, off the plan and their love affair with Noosa does not end, as they have purchased locally.”
Rebekah and Tom ran a national and international marketing campaign attracting enquiries from more than 150 prospective buyers.
“Ultimately,” said Rebekah, “the victors were Victorian buyers and now all nine owners in the building are from the same state.
“Tom and I joked afterwards they could now hold their body corporate meetings in Melbourne!
“This is the third auction sale in the rarefied $10m-plus sector we’ve had the privilege of handing in the past two weeks,” Tom Offermann said.
“That totals $42.5m with the sales of 38 Seaview Terrace in Sunshine Beach at $13.1m and 3 Allambi Rise in Little Cove at $16.9m.
“We’ve actually handled all of the past 15 sales of $10m-plus, so it’s assuring our long-term commitment to building quality connections certainly pays off to all our clients.”
