Getting back tomorrow your exorcism for the house, those pictures ergh! Hang some garlic over the doors to ward off evil spirits.

Alternatively bless it with a D9 & put a granny flat at the back & a basic project home on the front. More than double your returns.

Garlic?? I want people to come not run away! LOL

Hi Joe,

Once you fix your pics the blurb should look a bit more like this –

Renovated three bedroom family home and so convenient

This family sized home has been recently renovated and is now ready to move into.
Why not enjoy the brand new immaculate kitchen and cook up a storm. The formal lounge is just waiting for your…[Read more]

Looking at the photos again i must admit there not the best photos. The grass on the front has grown heaps more and the newspaper on the windows is gone and blinds are up.

This is what it used to look like:

No offence taken! I agree with you both and those photos really doesn't do the house much justice. Just about to email her now actually. 

I listed the house on Gumtree last week and the phone wouldn't stop ringing.  One look at the photo once i gave them the address and they wouldn't call back. Wonder why !!??

I agree and i would probably do the same. Perhaps a landlord should give the PM a bonus?  

JacM do you want to be my PM? You'll find me a tenant in no time!

Your right. I think i need to start fresh with another PM. New photos, new PM. It's getting close to Christmas the longer it takes the harder it will be to rent.

Cool, you've got plenty of thoughts to work with… hope it helps Joe !  I have to say, I'd be seriously angry if my agent couldn't figure out what was wrong given that the main photo has newspapers on the window. 

LOL, she emailed me last week saying shes at wits end! No idea why! 

If i email the agent stating that i'm going to list the property with another agent is that a no no? I don't really want to leave on bad terms as i've been with them for years and have other property with them.

JacM wrote:
I see in the writeup it has a shed.  Ask the agent to get a picture of that too.  Does the house have security doors?  If so, I'd be mentioning it and getting a pic of them too if they look sturdy.

No security doors, the shed is in decent nic, probably the only thing decent when i bought the place

It's probably time to change PM's. I think the agent wont open the house unless someone calls up and makes an appointment because it's been listed for so long. I guess they have given up.

I'll email her regarding the front photo, looking at it again it's not very appealing. The backyard is clean but not really worthy of a photo, just uneven…[Read more]

But the point i'm trying to make is for $265 a week is it really that bad of a place to rent? If the rent was hundreds more i could understand about the bathtub being tired looking and front being a bit dull. Where can you rent a house so close to the city with a train station on your door step for that price?

JacM wrote:
When you re-do the photo of the front of the house, get the driveway in the picture to show there is offstreet parking for the car.

At the time of the photo being taken my ute was in the drive. I suppose the PM could have asked me to park on the road for 5 mins.

Hi Joe

Yep that's the one I thought it would be.

Here is what I see.

For some reason it is advertised with 0 carspaces.  The bit right under the price where it says 3 bed 1 bath should also say 2 car, because there is off street parking (albeit not in a garage).

This is no scheduled open for inspection on there.  Would it kill…[Read more]
