Hi
I think it is sad that someone should be “banned” from a site for reasons that I am still not real sure of though I read Steves’s reasoning, Im still none the clearer.
I feel concerned that it could suppress ones ability to challenge/debate advice/opinions/thoughts etc for fear of being banned.
I read as many of Rebeccas posts as I could and…[Read more]

Geo forget it
Buy a nice rural property at Mt Tamborine and a good telescope.
Turn it around westward when the white pointers have dissapeared and enjoy a nice rural view.

Seems Big W Casuarina Darwin want us to come in and buy clothes too !!!

Your book $23.87. !!! Good news is only one left on the shelf………..perhaps their going like hot cakes.

Quite frankly I bought the book full retail and I have no issues as I enjoyed the book.

I have a big back yard…its a good investment cos I dont get bored. If I feel like going camping I just pitch a tent.
If I wanna be in Kakadu I just turn on the Fish Pond airrator and set up a fan which blows all the palms to and fro. My back yard is better cos there is no cane toads yet.[blink]
If I want to be in the Gold Coast I just park…[Read more]

Hi
Steve suggests investing where you can maintain control over the the entire property. He would buy the entire unit complex rather than one unit. Both duplexes rather than just the one.
There is some merit in that concept. However one has to have the financial capacity to do so and many do not to start off with.
There is a duplex with Id…[Read more]

I really love that Sara Henderson quote.
I think her first book “Strength to Strength” regardless of all the dramas that have unfolded about Bullo River it was great motivational reading. Both drama and humour.

If you sign up a sole agency – exclusive agency check the agency agreement form it means they have pre invoiced “YOU” for their commission bill in most cases. This includes even if you find a private buyer during the time you still have to pay commission. As already pointed out here….and not many folk are aware of this.
You lose all rights…[Read more]

Sorry Im a Suspicious character ! I just adore Real Estate folk.
Did the agent actually appraise the inside of your home ??
Maybe he thinks its already renovated and hence matching the status of other homes in area to come up with a $350k price tag.
Some professional appraisal from the front porch or letter box !![blink] ??
If he does have a…[Read more]

Hi Tomori
There has been alot of usefull discussions about “selling” and agents recently refer

https://www.propertyinvesting.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=8362&whichpage=2

and alot of resource material on here as well.
Agency web sites also have tips for sellers. So have a good read.

Depending on where these properties are & your proximity to…[Read more]

Yack – Good Ol NT. Missed out by five months on the 10 year certification rule to register a “failure” to the House Builder.[grrr]

Nevermind !!

Also thought of some more things I have learnt over the last well 48 hours………..not 24.

If your dishwasher doesnt turn on…seemingly electrical. Apart from checking the power point is turned on…[Read more]

Morning all
I am renovating a bathroom that meets the new Building Certification requirements in an elevated House. It is quite complicated. So many differing opinions on what is required. !! Including Building Inspector Collegues & tradesman that know it all. [whistle]
Have been delayed by the Builder and hes now on another job. So told him to…[Read more]

Hi everyone
Some very good points made on this thread.
One mechanism often forgotten is to always direct your complaint to the RE Office in the first instance.

If you are unsatisfied from this, then contact the body who regulates the industry/provides the licensing in your respective state.

I have always thought that a simple audit of an Agency…[Read more]

Hi

“Mr Latham said Labor had identified about $5 billion in government waste that would be used to fund some of its spending commitments.”

The Gov’t waste is not necessary in people resources.
It can be thru ineffective spending on programs.
I await the day when someone will have the guts (another Pauline Hansen perhaps !!!???) to start telling…[Read more]

Hi
This is an interesting question because I dont believe there has been any real “raw data” gathered from buyers/sellers to suggest what really works and what doesnt.

I think alot does depend on working out the likely buyer source in the area where you are selling.For eg.
Are they investors and where do they come from ??
Is it families that look…[Read more]

Go the Adelaide Crows

I dont see the service thus far improving with the current set up. This is not peak letting time either to be “inundated”.

I would suggest you look at one of the local companies in the city like KG Young & Assoc been in Darwin since… before the Train..(?)[] they have a local reputation to honour.
I dont have any specific PM to…[Read more]

Sorry to hear you have ran into difficulty again.
I did offer my assistance I believe prior to you leaving Tassie as I live in Darwin
but I did not hear from you.

I suggest if your property is in the Palmerston Area – contact Mitch Elton Raine & Horne.

Ok I am prob the one on here yet to be tested on humour. I thought it a laugh but having gone through the despair of the Katherine floods in 1998 NT and how it upturned peoples lives, I guess jokes about “long grassers” losing their blankets 200 ft high [:X] ( in assimulation) would not sit well with many. Floods are devastating and the…[Read more]
