Who do i contact to remove a curse? Priest?

Now, where did I read "do not covet your neighbour's wife (or cut his/her grass)" 

So Joe…. are you going to attend the open tomorrow, or send someone in, to see if the new pics have helped with traffic?

I see the property has vanished from the for rent pages of http://www.realestate.com.au and I figure this is because it has now been rented.  Joe, is that the case?

Hi Diana,  some thoughts:

– Third image… which is of the kitchen …. shame it doesn't have the colourful bits n pieces in the picture like image 2 does.

– Fourth image… which is of the front exterior …. seems to have been taken before the reno of the front garden?

– Sixth image … same deal as third image, would be nice if the colourful stuff was in the pic

– From the interior pics, looks like there are no window coverings?  Not sure if this is the case now… also not sure if this would be noticed by the buyer

– Is it viable to get a second pic of the bathroom that shows the handbasin and layout of the room

– A big mirror hung above the heater fireplace maybe?  With something colourful sitting on the mantle such as a vase of flowers?

– I can't help but wonder what the exterior would be like if the chimney was rendered & painted…  Don't even know if you can render or paint a chimney but I think it would give the front of the place a cute lift.  Some sort of colour that contrasts with the white and demands your attention.  I love the colour red but that would probably be taking things a bit too far for this circumstance hehe

Thanks for the update Joe, that is great news

Some reasons would include:

Decent pics that show the facilities of the property

An agent that actually advertises an open for inspection with several days notice so people can make a plan to turn up

An agent that actually turns up with application forms in hand

An agent that actually responds to phone calls from prospective tenants

An agent that IMMEDIATELY responds to an application, processes the background checks and has an answer for the applicant before they get bored of the idea and rent someone else's house.

So pleased you let us know how it panned out.  Just goes to show the power of a good pic and a decent agent.  Congrats!!!

How did this prospective tenant get your phone number?

Dude 7% or 6% or whatever is standard, and if you work it out, they are getting less than $1k per year to put up with however much effort comes their way.  If your tenant is a hassle with rent payments, your agent will have to converse with them often.  If they are of the obusive variety, guess who is on the front line.  The agent.  And anyway, the cost of it is a tax writeoff so it'll be closer to the $600 per year mark or something.  It's nothing. 

Coming back to the original issue, just goes to show hey.  The pics have to SHOW the facilities.  Even the driveway.  Doesn't matter what the driveway is made of, but you want to show you actually have a driveway.  The agent can bring you to your knees if they are not doing their job.  That said, I do not believe in giving free reign on my properties to the agent.  I have a brain and I can look at the ads of my property and if need be say hey, I see an issue, sort it out now.  Not in three months, now.  Perhaps I will have a different opinion if I ever have so many properties it doesn't matter any more, but when you are building your base portfolio, it matters.  You get in that drivers seat and you steer that ship EXACTLY where you want it to go.
