disagree totally, after all what is market rate, it's a silly term really, I mean market rate is what someone is willing to pay. So, what are you willing to pay for it. Make the offer a little less than you would like to pay and then you have a little movement, if that doesn't work,and they don't accept your final offer than look elsewhere.Some…[Read more]

On the soapbox again QGM, Yes, Developers should sell their properties at a lower price through traditional agencies, Yes, other "traditional agencies"with marketing arms are selling over priced property…. absolutely. You will notice they have marketing companies aside from the agency name so they can claim the fees it is illegal for a real…[Read more]

have sent you a PM.

With RP Data its all fine and well to look at the figures but as they dont differentiate between …well anything actually… their figures are a general guide at the very best. They dont take into consideration fire sales, auctions, mortagee sales and a house that has five walls missing due to the fire last month. Semi detached, i am guessing is…[Read more]

I doubt it is the Kevin Young Companyy in name, but the vendor pays a larger than normal commission that goes to K.Y., also to branch manager, a support member, the reseacher who finds the property and then head office like a slice too. That was how it used to be and i am sure it probably still is. So even though they say it;s the vendor paying,…[Read more]

swings and roundabout Neil, but really what ever is going to give you the best return is what you want, which means you need to find stock to buy and find out all outgoings and incoming. I can't speak for everywhere but where i am two properties at 200k each means two lots of body corp fees where as a house can be purchased for 400k. Whats the…[Read more]

What a jerk. I guess there must be a  bit of truth t…[Read more]

QGM, My gripe with them is i feel they misrepresent them selves as a club when plainly they are not. If they were a club, in the true sense of the word,  they would pass on the profits to the members or lower the commissions they demand so they are not paying the same as everyone else. And the fact is other people outside of the club can…[Read more]

they should just put them both in the ring, Kevin Young is short on stature but quite tenacious but N.J does have the reach on him.Neil Jenman had to post an apology on his website some time ago regarding a bit of a beat up on them that wasn't quite right.

Cant say for sure Blaze, that is different to QLD, but I would imagine it would be body corporate searches and general searches regarding the land the complex is on.

for Queensland that not overly expensive,I dont know about wherever you are situated.I can tell you i have dealt with A LOT of conveyancers and you truly do get what you paid for.  But two things come to mindA) you have paid it, forget about it. shop around next time and don't let it bother you.  Friends are always full of great i…[Read more]

i wasn't meaning you as the negative so and so, I should have made that point in the post,and good on you for saying it. i was refering to my original post in which i was largely negative to startxing's deal in general and just didn't want to come across as over the top.

Startxing,Your solicitor should have picked up on the 27c, i am assuming you have gone to contract. You need to have a 27c , buyer acknowledgment, cover letter and they must be presented in a particular order. i am happy to email you the info if you need it. the good news is if they haven't done it correctly you can get out of the deal – if you…[Read more]

Het frosty, if the deal is good it's always time to buy. just do the research.

neil trying to get himself in front of a camera….surely not.

There is no way i could find out the agents commission, since the selling agent is in Sydney~~ [/quote]I don't know how it goes in Sydney, but there should be a disclosure of fees somewhere. being in Queensland it should have a PAMD 27c form attached that shows the fees and commissions. Have a look carefully. The studio inside sounds interesting,…[Read more]

ok, sorry cant help you there.

Richards comments and information are spot on. Furniture packages generally have a mark up on them as well, so if you want it furnished, do it yourself. Forget the developers reasons for selling  – as you say , just a sales pitch and plus if he has to drop the price, it's simply because he can't sell them. I would be very surprised if it came in…[Read more]
