This time, the spotlight shone on Trevor Tippett, the seasoned Holmes auctioneer whose expertise and finesse led to the successful sale of Gold Coast influencer, Darling Shine podcaster, Covergirl collaborator and model, Ellidy Pullin’s Elanora home.
Nestled in the heart of the Gold Coast, this property held profound sentimental value as the former residence of Ellidy Pullin and her late partner, the esteemed snowboarder Alex 'Chumpy' Pullin who was a three-time Winter Olympian and snowboarding champion who drowned while spearfishing at Palm Beach in 2020. Laden with memories of love and adventure, the decision to part ways with the home was undoubtedly an emotional one for Ellidy Pullin. However, with Trevor Tippett orchestrating the auction proceedings, the sale unfolded with grace, sensitivity, and, ultimately, success.
As highlighted in the Daily Mail article that garnered public interest, Ellidy Pullin's decision to sell the property for $1.76 million was met with a mix of nostalgia and anticipation. The sale marked a transition, and a poignant farewell to one chapter of her life, while paving the way for new beginnings.
The choice of auctioneer undoubtably plays an integral role in the auction process, alongside the selling agents marketing campaign and ability to entice and extract buyers within the selling period. Beyond the mechanics of bidding and the clang of the gavel, lies the art of understanding the emotional nuances of both sellers and potential buyers on a day that is surrounding with emotion, anticipation, nerves and thrill. Trevor Tippett, with his wealth of experience and astute perception, navigated this delicate terrain with finesse and professionalism, partnering perfectly with selling agent, Emisha Canning from Coastal.

As the gavel fell and the sale concluded, Holmes Auctions once again demonstrated why it stands as a leader in the industry. With Trevor Tippett's expert stewardship, Ellidy Pullin's Gold Coast home found its new custodian, a couple from New Zealand that have been living on the Goldy for the past 12 months while they searched for the ultimate family sanctuary that they could infuse with fresh memories and dreams.
