  • As with all things, applying a broad brush to a topic isn't always accurate.I operate a flat fee agency ($5,950), and as it's my own business, I certainly aim for the highest possible price, as this is what builds a reputation, which in turns generates additional business.I currently hold the all time, record sales prices in 4 suburbs in Canberra…[Read more]

    Trust me, it happens to everyone – I own multiple investments, as well as my own real estate agency (which they are all managed through).I'm currently dealing with 3 horrid tenants (in 3 separate properties) – they were highly vetted, fantastic tenants on paper, but once they move in they can, sometimes, turn into a nightmare.As with all things,…[Read more]

  • Haha – I understand completely. But you're playing with big sums of money, so it's best to start with a solid base of knowledge.

    I agree with a few of the comments above – namely that 20% of agents make 80% of the money!My advice would be to work for the biggest, flashest agency for your first 12 – 24 months, you will have a level of training that will be unsurpassed. My initial training was with a company called Foxtons in London – the pay was fairly rubbish as an agent,…[Read more]
