What is
the SmartRe Sale
how can it benefit you?
The SmartRE Sale is the best method of sale when there are multiple buyers for a property. It is the only effective method of sale when there is just one.
The SmartRE sale strategy uses the private treaty method of sale, with some subtle variations aimed at obtaining the HIGHEST PRICE.
If true genius lies in the ability to take something complicated and make it simple, then the reverse must hold true. Most common real estate methods take a straightforward process and make it dangerous, complicated and risky, for both buyer and seller.
The aim of any sale for the seller and their agent is to maximise the final sale price, with minimal risk for the seller and within the agreed time frame.
The aim for the buyer? Find the right property at the right price without having to navigate the deception of false pricing and spending money for no result.
No Sale, No Charge.
TheSmartRE sale includes our no sale, no charge approach, insuring you’re not risking your hard earned money with old-fashioned upfront marketing costs. It is underpinned by a unique integrated negotiation strategy which using all four quadrants, guarantees you the best price in today’s market
For both the property seller and buyer, simplicity leads to good outcomes, and simplicity is the hallmark of The SmartRE Sale.
Most properties sold in Australia would benefit from this most transparent strategy.
During a private treaty sale, the property has a revealed listed price. It is a price the seller will accept and it allows the buyer to purchase the property at the asking price.
A genuine asking price close to or at market value helps the seller maintain the power within a negotiation once a buyer is found.
Don't sell your home for a high price. Sell it for the highest.
In a strong seller’s market there can be an enormous difference between a high price for your property, and the highest price. Talk to us today about how the Smart Sale can achieve the latter.
Find the best buyer, the heart buyer..
Occasionally, a buyer for a property defies market logic. They are a specific buyer for a specific house. This buyer will generally live in the property and it becomes their home. There is an instant and strong emotional connection. It might be a childhood home, close to work, close to friends and relatives, or maybe in the right school zone.
Whatever the reason, these buyers are emotional and buy with their heart – not with the cold logic of a financial property purchase. They will pay a higher price than expected, often above market value.
Client Reviews
Just had a great experience selling my Yandina property with Keyline Reality in Nambour. Mark Dunlop was my agent. My house needed a lot of work done before I could put it on the market. Mark organised Terry from Inside and Out Maintenance to fix up all our problems. He took away all my stress and fixed everything quickly and perfectly for a fantastic price. Mark had my house sold 4 days after going on the market for the price we wanted. Also, the office staff were marvelous. Zara Bartle handled everything else for us including working with my lawyer. I’ve gotta say this was the easiest sale I’ve ever experienced. Thanks Mark and Keyline Realty.

Alison Parker
When you are buying a house sight unseen and in a different part of the country to where you are currently living it can be rather daunting, but the whole team at Keyline Realty especially Mark Dunlop and Zara Bartle made the process so easy. No question was to much trouble to answer, no request was ever denied. They even organised quotes and attended them for me when something needed investigating. Great communication all the way I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Keyline Realty team.
CathBennett
We have bought and sold a few properties through Keyline now. Each transaction has been a great result and a shout out to Mark on this one who was fantastic to deal with!
Joel Keefer
Mark Dunlop and the whole team of people at Keyline who assisted me in my small purchase were absolutely amazing. Considering it was such a small price tag for what I was buying they treated me as though I was buying a very expensive property. Everything was smooth sailing from beginning to end! Thanks guys!
Orzay Gelsomino
Mark from Keyline in Nambour went well above and beyond for the sale of my property, even after highly rated salespeople from other real estates told me I would struggle to get the money I was asking. Mark wasn't phased and got the sale I was after. Shout out to the entire team there as they work as a team.

3 Patterson St, Nambour - "My partner and I are incredibly pleased with the service received from Keyline Realty for our first home purchase. The house buying process can be daunting, but their entire team was fantastic every step of the way. From finding potential properties to helping us negotiate an ideal contract, Mark and Nicky were always available and communicated how each part of the whole process would move forward. They also profoundly understood the housing market in the Nambour Region, which allowed us to get an incredible property that exceeded our expectations! Beyond their expertise and professionalism, the entire Keyline Realty team was amicable and kind throughout our home buying process. They answered all my questions with in-depth explanations, ensuring I fully understood what I was doing and why it was necessary. Also, a special mention to Zara in the office, whom on numerous occasions went up and beyond seeking answers to all of our questions, no matter how big or small! My partner and I are so glad that we ended up purchasing with Keyline Realty, as they have all been helping us search for a property for over a year! Mark, Nicky, Zara and The Keyline Team's knowledge and experience, combined with their patient approach, made this otherwise stressful event a smooth and successful process. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch real estate services.

I recently purchased a property in Nambour, it being my first home. The team at Keyline Realty in Nambour, especially Mark & Zara have been incredible! They went above and beyond and made what is an extremely stressful time so much easier with their helpfulness, advice & positivity. They were always available to answer any questions or concerns that I might have and kept the lines of communication open with everyone involved. I couldn't have done it without them (literally ) & I am so grateful! Thank you so much for our new home!"
Prue Wilton-Jones
I have sold a property on the Sunshine Coast. When I engaged Keyline Realty, they were ready promptly. The home was on the Market as soon as I was ready and sold within 3 open home inspections. Full marks to Mark Dunlop, Zara Bartle and the team at Keyline Realty.
Jacqui Brown
" have just bought through Keyline Realty. Their entire team are professional, efficient and responsive at all times. In particular I cannot heap enough praise on Zara Bartle, she helped me every step of the way through the process following signing the contract. Also Mark Dunlop, so professional, realistic, and down to earth, and helpful at every turn. I hope never to have to move again (!) but if I do this company and their team have a such high standard of service and ethics, I wouldn’t hesitate to use them and recommend them to others. Thank you, Keyline Realty,
Sandra Winkworth
"Mark, Zara and the Keyline team were just so wonderful to work with we four siblings to have our family home sold. Their professionalism , optimism and enthusiasm, effort, diligence, respect, knowledge and thoughtfulness was always prominent. We were never left wondering about what was happening as Mark was in touch each time to update us on viewings and feedback received after all viewings or open home days or the progress of contracts. After the first sale fell through because of the buyers lack of finance I thought the sales process might falter, but Mark was right on it with a viewing that afternoon and an open house the next day and another contract a few weeks later that has now been completed. Zara was also fantastic in her work with us and our solicitors to progress the contracts. We highly recommend Keyline."
Julie Parry
"The team at Keyline went above and beyond during the purchase of our first home. As first home buyers there was a lot we didn't know but Mark and Zara answered all our questions and informed us on every part of the process. We will definitely be recommending them to anyone selling or buying. Thank you again, we appreciate all of your hard work and dedication to your clients."
Hollie Donaldson & Brendan Read
Thanks to the Keyline team and especially Mark for the speedy sale. We are so glad we went with Mark as opposed to other real estate salesmen we had spoken to. He was prompt with his actions and followed up at every stage. We couldn’t be happier and hope the buyer have as much fun in Mums home as we did.
Sharon

The guys at Keyline are FANTASTIC! Mark was so enthusiastic to find the right home for us to start our family. Mark was very patient with us during our journey and prioritized our taste as well as making sure we didn't buy the wrong house. We couldn't be more thankful and grateful that Keyline were there for us for what could have been a stressful time. They made it fun, exciting and always ensured our best interests. Couldn't have asked for a better realestate company to have on our side. Thanks!
Seamus Evans
I can't praise these guys enough. From the initial open home with Mark to the liaising with Zara further along the process, everything has been so easy. The team are always happy to help, friendly and for us the whole purchase went so smoothly. As first-time buyers, we weren't familiar with the process in buying property, but Zara explained everything in easy-to-understand language and was so easy going yet professional. I wouldn't hesitate to use Keyline again and recommend highly.
