I have to agree with you both 100% another question, i have asked my self is this, in the future say 20 of the apartments are on the market, if they all look the same etc the one who will sell the quickest is the one with the lowest price.
Vacany rates might be low, but the question is how many people in the area dont pay the rent? The area has a high amount of un employed people and the crime rate is pretty high.
Also another reccomendation would be to go visit a few open home for inspections in the area!!!
Its not what a agent wants, but what the customer wants, i believe in any business, every customer is different, its amazing the constant feed back we are hearing is "Communication".
Some customer may need a call once a week and then you get other's once every 6 month.
There is a couple of reasons that this is happening and not just in realestate but allot of other bussiness employees of some bussiness just dont care, as long as they get paid and go home thats all they care.
Forums are for networking and its a big skill in business, maybe you should change your mentality. Guys like Richard, Jamie and other, have there details on the net, beacuse they are A) Good at what they do its called marketing and these forums are for networking C) I would rather contact one of these guys, then any one else from your local yellow pages.
PS if you want real advice, get advice from some one who knows more than you, I personally look up to guys like jamie and Richard.
My friend is (A) not going to take advice from this person we know and ( she asked this guy for his "credit license number" and called ASIC to follow this up as well.
Their is a growing demand of families, couples or single in Melbourne West, who require cost effective financial advice, budget planning and setting, debt conslidation, money magement education.
Maybe i should get of my ass and start some thing like this!!!
GFC 2 has already started, in-fact we never really go out of GFC 1. Its only money and money only buys you options, the key to being wealthy is to train your mind, your mind is your greatest assets.
The economy will always go up and down, its happened in our past, our present and our future, the key is to adapt to any situation and live, not live in fear.
Had a chat to this guy on the phone and i was pretty straight out, i got onto it not because of what he was doing but also a personal freind of mine was getting advice.
I thought this was the case, mate i just cant believe people take short cuts in bussiness. He not a really close freind but a person i know, and its people like these that give hard working people a bad name when it hits the fan,
We are in weird times, but its not the end of the world. There are allot of people who will loose homes, jobs and business along the way.
But we all have a choice into which direction we want to head into. I own a business its just breaking even at the moment , so for the last few months rather then just "hoping" for things to get better, i went out their and got a real good paying job.
In life its how we deal / adapt to situation's that count. If any one is finding their current sisuation hard, then look at way to imporve or change.
Hard times create a new learning oppurtinity, but also a new direction.
In 1991 when the ressecion hit allot of my family who just come from europe lost their homes, 15 years later some have really changed their lives for the better and some have just never changed,
Hi Kat 13
I’m an ex real estate agent and the deposits are held in a trust account, no interest will be gained from this,
Not sure where jac m got this point from????
But I do agree with jac m in terms of setttelment
30 days will benefit the agent
60 to 90 days is a safer option for you,
It gives you time to process the loans
Maybe what you can so is say this to agent if the vendor wants 10% and 30 days settelement then I want the sale of the price to be lower
When a valuer goes to value a propert the rental income does not have any postive or negative effect, The reason why?? rental agreements for each home may be different, One person may pay $50.00 a week more but maybe they only have a 6 month agreement or some one might be paying $75.00 less per week but have commited to a two year option.
Bugee how much value will it add? I think different valuers will value it differently….
Also is your home still worth what you paid for it three years ago? thats the another question as well…
