Apartment match-making

Our first client is a driven business woman, who travels for work and loves relaxing with a glass of wine. Client number two is a high-flying entrepreneur, who spends a lot of time away from home and enjoys watching Sunday football. And our final clients are the complete package, with mum, dad and the kids looking for a family-friendly getaway. Say hello to the corporate lady, the long-stay businessman and the family.

Welcome to Perfect Match, where we find every traveller’s ideal apartment accommodation.

And while your sales process is unlikely to resemble a game show, part of selling is knowing which client goes where, so we’ve crunched the numbers and found the perfect partners for these clients.

The corporate woman

Another Melbourne location to consider is the Oaks on William, set on the fringe of the legal, financial and entertainment precincts and overlooking Flagstaff Gardens.
