Bulletin spurs buyer into action

A HAMPTONS-style Broadbeach Waters house that last changed hands between a prominent real estate agent and a Federal MP, has sold for millions of dollars prior to auction.

The multimillion-dollar sale of sprawling waterfront sanctuary ‘Northcove’ came about after the new buyers noticed the property featured in the latest Bulletin Real Estate.

Selling agent Jackson Paradise of Ray White Prestige Gold Coast said the Sydney buyers were in Palm Beach to look at an apartment when they “were reading the paper and saw the Savoy Drive property”, snapping it up before its December 16 auction.

Vendor and real estate agent Michael Willems bought the home from MP Steven Ciobo for $2.15 million prior to auction, in November 2014.
