Living in Brisbane i am constantly hearing about all you southerners coming up here and taking a slice of our greener pastures.
I would like to start a service to help you all see what the suburbs are like up here, that is pick you up from the airport, take you to just about every suburb in brisbane to show you first hand and give general knowledge about each.
Do you think there is a service for this or am i just waisting my time.
Thanks for your input
I raised this issue previously as I thought it had potential. I think it could work, but it would need to be well organized. We are talking possible several days stay, so discounted airfares, accommodation, food, entertainment ( local pub or club ) hehe! etc would need to be organized. Sort of investors junket tour. Well you could develop different products to suit a range of investors, depending on the type of property they seek and the budget. You would need a form to get info about the investors so you can place them on the right tour.
I see this as a viable service, but as I indicated, it needs to be professionally done and handled as a complete package. I mean you may choose to start small, but I would see you becoming the manager and hiring a mini bus driver for pickup etc.. You would also need to get some insurance in case of bus accident etc.. as you grow your business.
You would buy accommodation and meals in bulk, making deals with local establishments etc… basically you would need to make the whole show economical, but service driven.
If you can get say up to 30% discount on all costs compared to a single traveler, by buying in bulk and offering a steady stream of clients to local establishments, you could attract investors on a budget and skim some profit for yourself.
You would need to build a contact base with local real-estate agents and establish commission deals with them for client referrals. i.e. commission for referral and commission for sale. You could do a well run honest service, to differentiate from those scumbags flying people up to Brisbane and the Gold Coast, who then use pressure and psychological tactics on clients to get them to sign up to overpriced high rise units or properties out in nowhere land. But as I said you need to do your research.
First time i posted anything, good to see someone responded. Thanks for your input, i agree with the professional part, you have obviously thought about it longer than i had. This may very well work although i’m just not sure that the southerners are really wanting this type of service, so if any one else has something to say, feel free.
As soon as I close a deal here locally, which should happen within the next 2 weeks or so, I will be turning attention and QLD and WA, choosing areas I wish to invest in. Id be interested in your assistance like this, and I can do all the other arrangements anyway. Post your email.
