FAQs
Historically, the Telethon Home has been sold via auction, however this year the home will be sold by Private Treaty (the way that most homes are sold in WA).
What this means is that an interested buyer can simply put in their best offer (from $860,000) which will then be considered by the seller (Satterley and Home Group). The offer will then be accepted or rejected.
The Telethon Home is advertised for sale with offers considered from $860,000. The final sale amount will be donated directly to Telethon.
If your offer is not accepted, the seller may come back to you with a counteroffer which you can choose to accept or reject.
Home Group is the builder of the 2023 Telethon Home and therefore it’s best to direct questions about the home itself to Home Group on 13 14 14 or at [email protected], or visit a consultant in the Telethon Home during opening hours.
Satterley is acting as the sales agent for the Telethon Home. Please contact Satterley’s Sales Operations Manager, Blaine Hall-Jones, on 0421 356 006 or via email at [email protected].
