Buying
Every home drawn to scale, with the winter sun marked on the plan, so you can rule a house in or out before Saturday.
- Drawn floor plans and views
- Open homes in your calendar
- Honest notes on each suburb
Three homes open this Saturday. Yours could be next.
Tidewell & Co. is a small agency on the Central Coast, from Wamberal to Pearl Beach. We walk every home before we list it, then draw it room by room, to scale, with the sun on the plan.

Three ways to sell. All of them start with a walk-through.
We'll recommend one after we've seen the home and the market that week. The fee is agreed in writing before anything goes online.

Private sale fee [placeholder]
A price guide, open homes every Saturday and offers taken through the week. Most homes on the coast sell this way.
- 3–6 weeks
- Price guide in writing
- Drawings included
B
Auction fee [placeholder]
Four weeks of opens and a set date, on site or in the office. Good when buyers are many and the price is hard to call.

- Auctioneer included
- Unconditional on the day
C
Off-market fee [placeholder]
Shown quietly to the buyers already on our books. No signboard, no portals, no open homes.

Fees are placeholders. Replace with the agency's own, including GST, and the marketing costs.
Questions
Asked at every open home. Ask us anything else.
Are the drawings accurate?
The floor plans are drawn from our own measurements and are close, but indicative. The sun on the plan is calculated for the home's orientation and latitude; it doesn't count trees, eaves or neighbours. Contracts and building reports are the final word.
Can I add an open home to my calendar?
Yes. Every listing has an "Add to calendar" button that makes a calendar file in your browser, set to Sydney time with a reminder an hour before.
What does an appraisal cost?
Nothing. We walk through, then send a written price guide with the recent sales we based it on, usually within a week.
Do you sell outside these suburbs?
Sometimes, if we know the area well enough to be useful. If not, we'll tell you who we'd call.
Who looks after my rental?
Jules runs leasing and management for every property we look after. You'll have one name and one number.
Thinking of selling?
Walk us through it. We'll bring the tape measure.
Book a walk-through and we'll send a written price guide within a week, with the sales we based it on. No cost, and no pressure to list.
