Best Real Estate Agent in Lewisham

Small, overlooked and well connected

Lewisham is one of the smallest suburbs in the Inner West and one of the easiest to miss. It sits between Petersham and Summer Hill, divided by the railway line, Old Canterbury Road and the light rail corridor, and almost every street in it is within walking distance of a train station or a light rail stop. For a suburb that rarely makes the property pages, that is a considerable advantage.

The housing is a mix of Victorian and Federation houses, semis and cottages, with newer apartment buildings closer to the transport. Ramon Raneal sells in Lewisham for The Agency and has set a street record on Old Canterbury Road and a record price for a one-bedroom unit on McGill Street.

What buyers pay for

Lewisham buyers are usually looking at Petersham and Summer Hill at the same time, and they compare carefully. The draw is transport and value: a house here often costs less than a similar one a kilometre east, and the trip to the city is much the same.

Noise is the main discount. Homes backing onto the railway or facing Old Canterbury Road are priced accordingly, so presentation and inspection times matter more here than in most suburbs. A well-kept house on one of the quieter streets, on the other hand, can attract buyers who had never considered Lewisham until they walked through it.

How Ramon runs a campaign

Because Lewisham buyers shop across suburbs, Ramon prices against Petersham and Summer Hill sales as well as Lewisham's own, and markets to the buyers already circling those suburbs. Many of them come from his Petersham campaigns a few streets away.

He handles every negotiation personally and reports to vendors in plain terms, including the feedback that is hard to hear. For apartments, he prepares buyers early on strata reports and building condition, which is where most unit sales either hold together or fall over.

Questions Lewisham sellers ask

How much is my Lewisham home worth?

That depends on the street, the noise, the land and recent sales in Lewisham and its neighbours. Ramon will give you a written price range based on sales that genuinely compare.

Is Lewisham part of Petersham?

No, though many buyers treat the two as one market. Lewisham sits immediately west of Petersham. Ramon writes about where one ends and the other begins in The Petersham–Lewisham Threshold, on his Perspective blog.

Do you sell apartments as well as houses?

Yes. Ramon holds the record for a one-bedroom unit sale on McGill Street, and sells apartments across Lewisham, Petersham and Marrickville.
