My agency is located in Burleigh Heads. We generally specialise in properties close to the ocean or lakes.

I deal with a builder in Coomera Waters on occasion and my fiance worked in Oxenford for Metricon Homes for a time as well so between us we know the Coomera area well (it is only 20mins drive north of Burleigh Heads..).

I’d like to help you…[Read more]

“I have seen many instances over the years where, purchasers had speculatively bought off the plan and then sold the property prior to settlement becoming due and in the process realising a substantial profit, often with having outlaid very little money because the purchaser has paid his or her 10% deposit by a deposit bond or bank…[Read more]

For Queensland Investors:

The residential tenancies authority of queensland is a good place to start! Median weekly rentals and # of bonds lodged every quarter broken down by suburb for major regions.

Property Investor Magazine sometimes publishes good visual guides to this data.

What state/territory are you in?

If in Qld, your rental manager could have issued the tenants with a ‘notice to remedy breach’ after 7 days rental arrears or breach of tenancy T&C (dog inside)

I imagine the majority of vendors worldwide wouldn’t be impressed if someone offered a $1 deposit. Get real.

Check the asking price against comparable properties yourself so you are not solely relying on the valuation.

Which development/area/state are you referring to?

TMA,

In Queensland, real estate agents are bound by law to disclose their commission to the property purchaser and property vendor.

Uninformed commentary is dangerous and best left off the forum.

slaurie44, I’d be interested to hear what you’ve based your statement RE: SE Qld on?

The Gold Coast has the highest residential rentals in the whole of Queensland. Plus an extremely low unemployment rate (just less than 3% at the time of my post).

It also has the largest population outside of Australian capital cities and climbing. About half a…[Read more]

Yes I agree with you resiwealth – do something different.

I think there could be a market in Varsity Lakes for Townhouses with larger than normal bedrooms (some have quite small bedrooms)…

Delboy – I would suggest visiting at least 15 residences in your preferred development area to give you an idea of what to innovate.

likely not TMA, but it wouldn’t relate to our business anyhow because we are professional, diligent & trustworthy.

Just like you likely wouldn’t publicise finance scandals that have nothing to do with your business.

Golden suburb? What a joke. Jewel I encourage you to take a drive through logan before you make any decisions. Logan needs plenty of work to put it nicely.

Reggie,

I would suggest that if you are seriously making a property owner an offer to purchase that you would present a written offer in addition to an inital deposit as a show of goodwill.

If you are purchasing through a real estate agency they will put forth your offer on a State-relevant contract of sale

Prices on the Pac. Fair side of GC hwy have pushed back a little from mid last year. However, I don’t see them dropping further.

Some more general info on Mermaid Beach:
– In development is a small commercial office building (retrofitted cinema’s)
– Walk to Broadbeach from 1 min to 45 min
– Beachside GC Hwy Broadbeach is a rather affluent holiday…[Read more]

Tete,

I live in Mermaid Beach (MB), own property here and also sell property in the area.

Our agency generally only sells new and off the plan property. At the time of my post, we’re selling new 2 bedroom apartments in MB (holiday or permanent letting) from $413,000 (2 storey walk-up complex on beach side GC Hwy). That should give you an idea of…[Read more]

Yep Pegasus – I agree

Wrap it if it lends itself to this – it could be a potentially lucrative option for you Geoff.

Coops,

Any decent Real Estate Agent will do more than handle your sales contract.

They should at a minimum:
– provide you with a well researched estimate of your properties value
– prepare a tailored marketing campaign
– provide a visible sales office to attract prospects
– hold open & guided inspections on the property
– staff an office of well…[Read more]

Wallace,

I own a real estate agency on the Gold Coast.

I haven’t seen any residential for under 100k, but I’ve seen storage sheds in industrial growth area’s for about 45k.

At the time of this post, you can still buy New apartments in good growth suburbs for a little over 200k. They are becoming more scarce though.
