Meet Wes Smuts: Why understanding people helps properties sell

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/meet-wes-smuts-why-understanding-people-helps-properties-sell/

Meet Wes Smuts: Why understanding people helps properties sell

Whether selling your home, or looking to buy, just finding a knowledgeable and trustworthy agent is a task in and of itself. Add that to the popular Surry Hills and Inner-East area of Sydney, the most expensive city in Australia, the stakes seem even higher.

Enter Wes Smuts: a dedicated sales agent with a passion for community and connection, Wes seems to have cracked the code on what it takes to be a trusted sales agent.

What’s the Surry Hills Secret?

Having immigrated to Queensland from South Africa six years ago, Wes built a solid track record in Rockhampton by selling an average of two homes per week (that’s over 100 homes a year!).

Wes has since found his home in Sydney, settling as an Inner-East local. He understands firsthand what attracts buyers to an area that he has come to call home.

“It’s such a vibrant, open and welcoming community,” Wes says, on what attracts people to Surry Hills.

“It has a large migration of both international and national residents. When you’re in a community that changes all the time, you’re open to and accepting of change.”

Needs-first and no hard sell

Priding himself on being a trusted advisor to past and present clients, Wes shares that most of his clients come from referrals.

“I am very aware of how horrible our reputations are,” Wes says, describing that he works hard to be a trusted guide for people.

“It’s a house, not a loaf of bread! I really work to focus on the seller’s (and our buyer’s) journey and be a guide, rather than just sell a house.”

Adopting a ‘needs-first’ approach, Wes’ tried-and-tested method seems to be a winner every time.

“Understanding the needs and goals of the seller, and buyer, and working a campaign around that. That’s the approach I have.”

Wes Smuts is a fully licensed sales agent and qualified auctioneer at Mc Grath Surry Hills. For those looking to sell their home in Sydney’s Inner-East, look no further than Wes to sell your address. Get in touch with Wes here

Should You Buy A Property Amid Health Crisis

The adverse effects of COVID-19 have been felt across the world and the real estate sector is not an exception to the impact of covid. The property market has suffered drastically or not we will find it but there is no doubt that each and every business is affected in an extreme way. There is a health crisis and the economy of almost every country is shaken badly.

 At the end of 2019 the Australian property market was looking great as the property prices were growing in the capital cities and the auction clearance rates were very high as well, but, what now?

 Is it the time to invest in property amid the health crisis in Australia?

Nicola Powell is a senior research analyst and she said that many buyers were inclined to buy a property in South-East Queensland because it is affordable and the lifestyle also seemed to enhance because of the present pandemic. She also stated that in the region prices have risen and there is 0.6 percent increase for houses located on Gold Coast and for Sunshine Coast it is 1.6 percent. The Sunshine Coast units look stable but the units of Gold Coast have increased by1.2%.

Ray White Surfers Paradise – estate agent Robert Graham has impeccable experience in the property market in Gold Coast. He said the hotspots across Gold Coast are being loved by the buyers and the locations have a prestigious pricing. The activity of buyers is also booming and this makes us the go to place for the Australian residents to invest their money. He further spoke about the sales.

He said , “We made 9 sales in a week in the sub million and $1.2 million market and the parties did not even see the property. Though for properties that are above $3 million people are more interested to see and feel the property.” He says that this makes me predict for the Gold Coast region. At the end of December and January there will be a captive audience as per him.

As per his further statement there is uncontrollable activity in the Main Beach and it is much better than what it was in previous years so people are finding it hard to get homes but they just can’t sell homes quickly.

However, finding the stock is not easy and listing competition is big enough. From Sunshine Beach Real Estate – Rob Spencer, one of the most reputed real estate agents said that there is lack of demand and cheap money has given rise to interstate buyers snapping up homes far from Melbourne and Adelaide. It is interesting to see that real estate agents Broadbeach Gold Coast are facing the challenge to keep this up and buyers are being left out. He said that the present median price is going to be a record and properties that were being sold for one million are now sold for $1.5 million and the rise is 25 to 30 percent.

In metropolitan areas of Queensland, it’s been a nice steady growth in happiness among sellers, the survey found. Picture: Jodie Richter Queensland has escaped the worst impacts of COVID-19 on the real estate market, with the pandemic having a smaller impact than fallout from the Banking Royal Commission and the 2019 Federal Election, a new survey found. MORE: Clive Palmer buying out the neighbours Best on Show’s big winners Why cashed-up buyers are going rural ‘It’s taken a pandemic’ but 43pc ready to ditch home loans now A whopping 39 per cent of home sellers in Brisbane got a higher price than what they expected at sale time, according to the latest price expectation report from real estate agent ratings site, RateMyAgent. The survey of more than 33,000 Australians, tracked sentiment in the Australian property market, as well as seller satisfaction for the first half of 2020. South East Queensland was home to the majority of Queensland’s happiest home sellers – with nine of the top ten happiest areas hailing from the region. 9/1263-1265 Gold Coast Highway, Palm Beach, is on the market for offers over $650,000. Brisbane and Moreton Bay led with the highest proportion of sellers who got higher prices than they expected (39 per cent), followed by Scenic Rim and Redland (38 per cent), Logan (35 per cent), Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast (32 per cent), Fraser Coast (28 per cent), Lockyer Valley (27 per cent) and Ipswich (23 per cent). Queensland’s Top 10 Happiest Areas: Brisbane (39% net above) Moreton Bay (39% net above) Scenic Rim (38% net above) Redland (38% net above) Logan (35% net above) Sunshine Coast (32% net above) Gold Coast (32% net above) Fraser Coast (28% net above) Lockyer Valley (27% net above) Ipswich (23% net above) (Source: RateMyAgent) RateMyAgent CEO and co-founder Mark Armstrong said vendor happiness in Queensland had bounced back during the COVID-19 second quarter, defying doom and gloom predictions. “What we’ve seen in the June quarter is an astounding turnaround in market confidence – after the initial shock in April wore off, consumer optimism is on the way back up and this is highlighted in our newest Price Expectation Report.” He said the survey found that the banking royal commission and the election in 2019 had a significantly more negative impact on vendor happiness than COVID-19 has had. “Over the last two years, supply has dropped around 30 to 35 per cent. So what happened with COVID-19 is in April everyone just froze. It was the height of uncertainty. People who were considering selling just left the market, and yet there was still buyer demand moving through the market. We saw a slight increase in vendor happiness in June and that was driven by that lack of supply.” “In metropolitan areas of Queensland, it’s been a nice steady growth in happiness since we saw it bottom out in 2018. Brisbane took a little dip in April because of that COVID-19 uncertainty but it found its feet again. Everyone thought COVID-19 was going to potentially decimate the property market but it hasn’t. Everyone realises that life goes on.” He said Queensland’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic was playing out well for the property market here. // // “The migration from Victoria and New South Wales is always reasonably strong in southern Queensland and maybe this will accelerate it or put a bit of upward pressure on it,” he said. “What’s shown during this pandemic is more densely populated areas run a higher risk of these pandemics. Queensland is such an enormous state with less people than Victoria and New South Wales. If people get hung up on the pandemic, a place like Queensland with so much room certainly augurs well for them.” “There’s still a reasonably high level of confidence in the market.” FOLLOW SOPHIE FOSTER ON FACEBOOK The post Happiness rising as sellers get higher prices than expected appeared first on realestate.com.au. from news – realestate.com.au https://ift.tt/2XPtLIM

How To Get The Perfect American Style Home In Australia

How To Get The Perfect American Style Home In Australia

A 2017 Domain article highlighted a growing love and demand of America-style houses in Australia. South East Queensland in particular was facing a shortage of Hamptons-style houses in response to growing popularity. Across Brisbane and both Gold and Sunshine Coast, these homes were in high demand and low supply.

But why are American-style homes becoming so popular here? What is it about them that buyers are finding attractive? What makes them so at home in Australia, so far away from their place of origin?

We’ll take a look at two of the most popular styles of American homes, their key features, and what to look out for to get that truly authentic look.

1: Hamptons Style

Since we mentioned it in the introduction, we’ll start with the Hamptons style of home.

A Hamptons-style home is a home of contradiction; it’s effortless, relaxed, and casual, but at the same time, timeless and sophisticated. It’s at once a home that’s very beautifully designed, but not so immaculate that you feel like you’re living in an Ikea catalogue.

Named after the popular seaside community in Long Island, Hamptons style homes have high pitched roofs and broad, open interiors. You’ll usually find them as 2 storey houses rather than single level.

Designed to embrace the bohemian comfort and relaxation of beach living, it’s not hard to see why the beach-loving population of SE Queensland has fallen hard for this design.

Beyond Queensland, the style is also incredibly popular — and lucrative — in Sydney. Hamptons-style homes have been selling for upwards of $3.4 million in the city. Many real estate agents are loving the design, as they’re finding them incredibly easy to sell.

Hamptons home interiors typically feature

        Gable style roof with large balconies

        Extensive use of a crisp white palette with smatterings of pale blues and soft greys

        Timber wall paneling and dado rails

        Timber flooring

        Shutters and sheer curtains

        Pendant lighting

        Ornate tapware

        Tiling in bathrooms and on splashbacks – pressed metal is popular

        Marble or stone benchtops

        Country or shaker style cupboards

        Lantern-style lighting externally

        Lots of gorgeous soft furnishings – cushions and throw rugs

Don’t think that the homes are only suitable for coastal communities. With their open planning, high roofs, and laidback styling, they’re just as welcome in outer suburbs, in rural communities, just as they are at the sea shore.

This helps contribute to the Hamptons style’s popularity across the country. Whether you’re spending your mornings waking up to the ocean breeze, or out in the country, the Hamptons style is a house that makes a lovely home.

2: Cape Cod Style Home

Where Hamptons-style homes are typically dual level, Cape Cod style homes are usually single-level designs.

Image Source

This style of home was brought to America from English puritans, and you can see the farm cottage roots in its appearance. These homes were designed to withstand the stormy, dark weather of Cape Cod. For example, the steep, high-pitched roof is meant to prevent snow and ice from building up — admittedly not something most Australians have to worry about, even in the colder southern reaches.

Like the Hamptons-style above, open planned, relaxed living is key here. Elegant and laid back; stylish but liveable. The Cape Cod design is meant to house a family, and it feels like it.

Cape Cod style homes are popular across Australia. Like the Hamptons, they’re particularly attractive to beachside and rural areas. Developers and real estate agents are finding it difficult to meet up with the demand for the style. Many property owners are even buying homes to strip them down and build a Cape Cod style in its place.

Cape Cod style homes often feature

Symmetrical exteriors.

Low ceilings — intended to conserve heat, but modern designs (or those in Australia) often feature higher ceilings than traditional.

Gabled dormers

Double-hung windows with shutters

A central hall inside around which other rooms are laid out

Clean lines with little aesthetic detailing

Bedrooms in dormers or under gables.

There are certainly more types of American homes, but these two standouts appear to be taking the imagination of Australian home buyers and property developers by storm.

Yet, it’s one thing to get the right design of house. For a truly American experience, there’s actually something a little more important than just the layout.

The Authentic American-Style Finishing Touch

Look at the roof of any home in Australia and what do you see?

Typically, tin or tile. They’re the two most common roofing materials in the country.

Now look at roofs in America. Those are tiled too, right?

Surprise; they’re not.

American homes almost overwhelmingly use GAF asphalt roof shingles.

In Australia, most try and capture the look by using tile – but it rarely works. While tin is more suited to a rural style of home rather than an American style.

For a genuine American style of home, nothing else comes close to capturing the perfect look.

Asphalt roof shingles have a distinct look made of interlocking rectangles of different shades of grey. Nothing else quite looks like them.

GAF are the largest suppliers of roof shingles in the United States of America. More homes in that country have GAF shingles than there are houses in Australia. If you’re looking to get the authentic finishing touch for style and reliability, you want the best — and GAF is the best.

GAF asphalt roof shingles don’t just look great; they’re a sturdy, reliable roofing material that can withstand the harshest Australian weather. GAF also supplies the other roofing materials you need to put together a beautiful asphalt shingle roof, such as drip edge and flashing.

So long as roof shingles are installed properly, you’ll enjoy maximum safety and comfort combined with distinct aesthetics for years to come.

Real Estate - Inside One of Cairns, Australia’s Most Prestigious Rainforest Homes

Real Estate - Inside One of Cairns, Australia’s Most Prestigious Rainforest Homes

Real Estate - Inside One of Cairns, Australia’s Most Prestigious Rainforest Homes

By Michelle Singer   Real Estate - Only a handful of prestige rainforest or beachfront properties trade hands each year within the surrounding suburbs of Cairns and the neighboring high-end holiday hub of Port Douglas in Australia. A true international city with a melting pot of cultures, the Cairns property market is being recognized as much for its relaxed beach and hinterland lifestyle as it is for its exceptional value. As the jumping off point for the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest, its physical beauty yet challenging climate—wet, tropical with the occasional cyclone—have resulted in exceptional and architecturally rewarding homes. More: 5 Designers in 5 Cities Across the Globe Spill What Their Clients Want Blessed with a world class lifestyle and natural beauty, many Cairns high-end homeowners have spared no expense when it comes to the designs and construction of their homes. A mix of architectural styles, predominantly influenced by the natural environment, can be seen in the region as owners make the most of sprawling beachfront blocks or the panoramic views available from hilltop hideaways. Inarguably one of the most striking—and lauded—is Planchonella House, the concrete, glass and rosewood masterpiece completed in 2015 by young Australian creatives, architect Jesse Bennett and his wife, interior designer Anne-Marie Campagnolo. They have since put their home up for sale.

The Planchonella House in Cairns, Australia Sean Fennessy “Living in the house is so peaceful and relaxing,” Ms. Campagnolo said. “It’s so connected to nature it has this effect on you that’s hard to describe.” Described by the 2015 National Architecture Awards’ jury as “an architect/builder/inventor and an interior innovator at their combined best” the home represents Mr. Bennett and Ms. Campagnolo’s “total design” ethos, encompassing the architecture, landscaping and interior design. It won Australia’s top architectural honor with the Robin Boyd Award for Residential Architecture in the 2015 National Architecture Awards and has been referenced alongside the world’s finest “tropical” and “forest homes” because of its surroundings.

Planchonella House has been referenced alongside the world’s finest “tropical” and “forest homes” because of its surroundings. Sean Fennessy “We were so passionate about producing something of our own and something that we imagined architecture should be,” said Mr. Bennett, of Jesse Bennett Studio. “The constraints of the site made it a challenge but we took it in our stride,” he continued. “We were so driven by the project and wanting to bring that to fruition that we didn’t let that restrict us.” Following a four-year design and construction phase, Planchonella House, their dream home and an ode to living in the tropics, was completed in 2015. Designed to “create a series of joyful spaces,” Mr. Bennett says, its simplicity and pared back palette of materials provided the couple with their own “personal wellness retreat.” The solar passive design, on an excessively steep site with terrible access, connects to the surrounding heritage rainforest with minimal obstruction. Responding to topography and climate, there’s an abundance of space, natural light and privacy, all while providing a visual connection to the rainforest surrounds. Two organic-shaped concrete platforms form the roof and floor, appearing to sit within the tree canopies.

An interior living space of Planchonella House Sean Fennessy The L-shaped flexible floorplan wraps around the central courtyard space, with up to four bedrooms, an open-plan living area, cantilevered breakfast booth and courtyard. Tropical foliage spills indoors and covers the oversized rooftop, which has been designed to combat the wet, tropical weather, spanning an area twice that of the floor and windows. “With such a harsh climate, you can’t ignore it so it’s best to work with it,” Mr. Bennett says. “A lot of the design solutions are purely based on really simple passive design principles, low tech designs with the sun and wind patterns in mind. The roof acts like a big tree canopy above the house, so it encourages the air to circulate and even during the rainy season you can leave the windows open and the rain doesn’t come in.” Despite their love and passion for the home, the restless creatives are ready to pursue their next challenge, and Planchonella House is for sale, listed with Modern House Real Estate agent Marcus Lloyd-Jones. Offers between A$4 million (US$3 million) and A$4.4 million (US3.3 million) are being sought. “It’s an emotional thing, to let go of a house you’re very much attached to, especially one that required 12 months camping onsite and carting bricks uphill,” Ms. Campagnolo said. Buying in Cairns A popular destination for a respite from winter, the Cairns housing market has outperformed other major central and north Queensland cities in the past year, with a median house value of A$399,552 (US$299,190) to the end of March, up 1.5%, according to analysts CoreLogic RPData. Palm Cove, a suburb of Cairns 27 kilometers north of its center, had a median house value of A$552,500  (US$413,917)—up 3.27%—in the 12 months to March. Port Douglas, the region’s beachfront village renowned for its community sensibilities, boutique shops and restaurants, had a median house price was A$565,000 (US$423,363), according to CoreLogic’s figures. Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty Port Douglas agent Barbara Wolveridge describes market conditions as slow, but she said she is getting strong interest from genuine, qualified buyers ahead of the peak winter season. “Prices are stable but I still think we are fantastic value for the homes you can buy between A$3million and A$10 million, we’re certainly better priced compared to anywhere else in Australia,” she says. Homes With Tropical Settings Significant listings in the area include Port Douglas’s most prominent home on the most northerly point of Wharf Street, which comes with a price tag of about A$12 million (US$8.8 million). Only a tropical garden stands between the rear of the property and the Coral Sea, with the five-bedroom, six-bathroom home large enough to host parties of up to 100 guests.

Overlooking the Coral Sea, this Wharf St, Port Douglas home is one of the area’s best properties. It five bedrooms, six bathrooms and an asking price of A$12 million. Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty In Palm Cove’s Beachfront Mirage gated community, local builder Andy Taylor of Prime Constructions has listed his family estate for the first time since completion about a decade ago. Within the confines of Palm Cove’s classified integrated resort development, which allows international buyers to purchase without requiring foreign investment approval, the listing includes three homes, spread over four blocks of land. Including a combined total of 16 bedrooms, multiple pools and a tennis court, the homes are surrounded by palm trees and tropical landscaping. The asking price is A$10.95 million (US$8.24 million).

Part of a three-house estate, this Palm Cove property is being sold for the first time since completion and has an asking price of A$10.95 million. Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty Ms. Wolveridge said that “pretty much everything” with a view sold last year to a range of buyers that came from Melbourne, Sydney, New Zealand and South-East Asia. “These are big-ticket items, they’re usually second or third homes, and people are specific about what they’re looking for,” she said. “High-end properties take a lot longer to sell here than anywhere else in Australia,” Ms. Wolveridge said, “but when you have qualified buyers milling around, you know you’ll have a good season.” Read more   Read the full article

Unlocking the Gold Coast Property Market with Prestige Buyers Advocates

The Gold Coast has always been a desirable destination for many reasons—its stunning beaches, vibrant lifestyle, and growing economy make it a hotspot for property investments and lifestyle changes.

This is where Prestige Buyers Advocates, the leading buyers agents on the Gold Coast, come in to make the process efficient, seamless, and stress-free.

What Are Buyers Agents? A buyers agent is a real estate professional who works exclusively on behalf of the property buyer. Unlike traditional real estate agents, who are usually hired by sellers, buyers agents represent the interests of those looking to purchase a property. From finding properties that meet your specific criteria to negotiating the best price, buyers agents offer a range of services designed to help you make informed choices and avoid common pitfalls in the buying process.

On the Gold Coast, the property market is competitive and often overwhelming for those unfamiliar with the area. Buyers agents like Prestige Buyers Advocates can make all the difference, ensuring that you find the perfect property while saving both time and money.

Gold Coast Named As A Powerhouse Queensland Market

The October REIQ journal has identified the Gold Coast property market as being strong and dynamic, driving solid, sustainable capital growth for property owners.

The journal reports that the Gold Coast median house price grew on average 6.8 per cent over the 12 months to June 2017, compared with Brisbane’s 3.6 per cent.

Clear Island Waters was the top performing Gold Coast area recording a staggering 24% price growth.  The high quality homes on offer paired with the geographically central location of Clear Island Waters, which has city-scale amenity in neighbouring Robina, has seen it become a highly sought after address.

Robina itself has also been identified as a Gold Coast property hotspot by leading property analytics firm CoreLogic reporting that Robina is outpacing the wider city market on every key measure – recording a price premium, higher rates of capital gain, higher rental rates with attractive yields and strong selling metrics.

The report found Robina average house values to March 2017 were 8.4 per cent higher than the wider Gold Coast while the terrace home and apartment sector posted an average 11.5 per cent price premium.

CoreLogic Research Director Tim Lawless said “This premium indicates buyers place a high value on housing in Robina, which can also be seen in the strong rate of capital gain, with house prices increasing by 5.2 per cent per annum over the past five years,” said Mr Lawless.

He said that Robina’s upward trend was set to continue, with strong selling conditions supporting further upwards pressure on values.

“The fact homes are selling quickly, within 30 days, and vendors are applying minimal discounts – just 3.6 per cent for homes and 3.7 per cent for other properties – suggests buyers are acting quickly to secure property in Robina,” he said

The ongoing growth being experienced across Gold Coast is reported as being sustainable due the value of what is on offer here with REIQ’s CEO Antonia Mercorella quoted as saying “Growth throughout South East Queensland is based on an improving value proposition, which means it is reliable, sustainable capital growth.”

The October McGrath Report also described the Gold Coast market as affordable, safe, steady and reliable.

Now established, this growth and momentum looks set to continue for some time yet as we head into the 2018 Commonwealth Games year.

Taking Gold Coast City to the world

The 2018 Commonwealth Games will showcase Gold Coast City to a live global television audience of 1.5billion people and the city will secure positive and lasting benefits from the event.

With the games year now quickly approaching, the impact of the major event on the property market is starting to become visible.

As well as increased exposure and awareness, Gold Coast City will also benefit from a $2billion injection into the local economy and significant infrastructure investment across the city.

As reported in the PRD Commonwealth Games residential property impact report, the Gold Coast property market is already experiencing positive spill-over multiplier effects from the announcement of the event and the benefits are predicted to continue well beyond games year.

South East Queensland’s growth momentum

Southeast Queensland house prices are tipped to grow by up to 20 per cent, driven by interstate investors looking for better growth opportunities than Sydney and Melbourne can provide.

As reported in the McGrath 2017 report, not only have many buyers been priced of these southern markets, it now seems that these markets are losing steam and may even be starting to decline.

Veteran real estate agent John McGrath told The Courier-Mail this week that Queensland was only just over halfway through the current property cycle and stood to benefit from the slowdown starting to grip the southern capitals.

“We’re very bullish in your part of the world,” Mr McGrath said.

“There’s no doubt in my mind there will continue to be growth in southeast Queensland.”

South-East Queensland continues to offer outstanding opportunity for growth with houses and apartments values along the Brisbane to Gold Coast corridor rising by 5.7% in FY2016, a 2.2% increase on FY2015.

As well as being attracted to the potential capital growth opportunities on offer, residents from southern states are looking to relocate to the sunshine state to enjoy the enviable lifestyle on offer, driving an upswing in population growth across Queensland.

Southeast Queensland is the epicentre of population growth for Queensland, which is one of the fastest growing states in the nation. This is due to many factors including interstate migration, which has recorded an average increase of 12.3 per cent each quarter since March 2015, and natural increase which, over the last five years, has represented the largest population driver of this prosperous state.

From trainee to sales star, JOIN THE TOP TEAM @ First National Burleigh Waters

New Post has been published on https://www.jobcareer.to/job/from-trainee-to-sales-star-join-the-top-team-first-national-burleigh-waters/

From trainee to sales star, JOIN THE TOP TEAM @ First National Burleigh Waters

Start a real career in sales with the First National Power of 3 Group on the GOLD COAST in our Burleigh Waters office.

Tired of selling widgets? Need a new challenge? Build a real career in a sales sector that touches everyone – real estate.

We’ve all heard about the glass ceiling; have you heard about the mirrored ceiling? You know, you look up and all you can see is what you are doing now, more and more of the same, no way to move forward; same problems, same solutions and worst of all same outcomes.

Where is the challenge, reward and recognition in that? While it is impressive to forge a presence in sales within a specialised area of industry or services ultimately you are only important to a very small number of people in that sector. All those jobs need to be done and all of those products and services need to be sold; absolutely good work, but there are definite limits to growth. If you are reading this then you are already at that limit.

Now is the time to jump on to a different ladder and climb around that mirrorred ceiling and go above it in an industry with no financial limits. An industry where, when you put in the time to evolve your selling skills, there really is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Consider a professional career in real estate. Forget the amateur players and join an established but modern, sound but innovative real estate business – it is really possible to have it all.   

OUR GROUP

With the significant market reach of three strategically located offices we are a business group serving a Gold Coast market constantly on the move. Unlike many franchise offices, our three businesses are not encumbered by working in tiny restrictive selling territories and this is reflected by the range of suburbs we can sell in. In other words, your selling territory is less restrictive so your opportunities are more expansive.

We cover a huge real estate opportunity, from Coolangatta in the south all the way to Miami in the north, reaching west to Tallebudgera, Varsity Lakes and beyond. This role is based at our Burleigh Waters office.

‘Our group of 3 offices are proud members of the First National network. We have access to all the benefits of a national network without being encumbered with massive franchise fees because we are a cooperative. This means every dollar in fees paid to the network is returned in a dollar of value to our business creating value for marketing, technology, systems and processes to support your selling success.

OUR OFFICES

We know the value of professional sales skills and how to help you evolve yours within the specialised context of real estate. You may have considered joining other RE agencies or even spent time with another agent but if you really want to reach your maximum sales potential you’ll want to join us.

We have built a business over 28 years based on our dedication to the Gold Coast area. Our three offices covering Burleigh Waters and Varsity Lakes through this office at Burleigh, Palm Beach, Elanora and The Pines get more referrals, more returning clients, more coverage and more sales. Join a business that manages over 550 local properties.

Why is this important to our salespeople?

Because that’s a huge number of property owners and investors that we are serving every week. What a great network of contacts, and opportunities as they buy and sell property today and in the future. That gives you access to in-house opportunities many other offices just can’t match.

All this means that our teams sell homes on a consistent basis regardless of the market conditions and state of the nation because we have the technology and reputation to reach every potential buyer when we put a property to market.

OUR COMMUNITY

Real estate sales is not only where the big money is but also the real professional profile and prestige. Think about it: How many people buy real estate compared to the product you sell now? How does the median housing price in this area compare to your current average sale price?  Do you have the opportunity to network with a broad range of individuals who shape business within your community?

Speaking of community, selling real estate is ultimately all about belonging to a community. Yes you definitely have to work evenings and weekends but you won’t spend that time on the redeye from another city – you will be doing the business ten minutes from home. Professional sales representatives with reputable firms have enviable profiles and prestige within their communities. No wonder as people trust them with their largest transactions. A true real estate professional has a level of public recognition unmatched in any other sales area.

DALE HARRIS, YOUR MENTOR

We will partner you with one of our business owners and licensee Dale Harris who has a wealth of selling experience and knowledge about our market combined with an unparalleled knowledge and commitment to innovation in sales and marketing systems.   Dale will ensure you see how these skills and tools are implemented in practical ways and allow you time to develop your own wording to suit your style without losing sales while you are learning the real estate business.

Dale will guide you in a systematic way through all parts of the business, residential listing and selling process at a speed that suits your current experience and learning style.

Southport Tower Could Fetch At Least $180 Million

Residential developer and builder Philip Usher Constructions has put on the market its 35-storey 120 Marine Parade development at Southport as it looks to diversify its development portfolio.

Price estimates for the 279-apartment Gold Coast tower, which is in the early stages of construction, sits at around the $180 million mark.

Philip Usher bought the site in 2008 and was originally approved for a seven-storey tower with 81 apartments because of restrictions under the previous town plan.

Cushman & Wakefield’s Chris Bouwer and Richard McCouaig are handling the expressions of interest campaign.

As it’s early in the construction phase buyers would be able to customise the design and sell some of the apartments or incorporate a hotel according to the agents.

The development is on a 4472-square metre site and due for completion in early 2019.

“Purchasing this type of asset is highly unique and rarely offered within Australia,” McCouaig said.

Philip Usher currently owns the twin-tower H2O Broadwater Apartments on a nearby block which consists of 249 units.

“Diminishing supply [of apartments] due to lack of funding has restricted many large-scale projects on the Gold Coast. This has resulted in an uplift in ‘off the plan’ sale values,” Bouwer said.

Established in 1987, Philip Usher Constructions specialises in townhouse development, high-rise construction and residential and industrial building across South East Queensland.

Sydney and Melbourne Buyers Hunt For Brisbane Houses

WE knew they were coming, but it appears southern property buyers have finally arrived in Brisbane.

Cashed up and after more bang for their buck, Sydney and Melbourne suitors are on the hunt for houses close to Brisbane’s CBD.

The latest Herron Todd White Month in Review reveals buyers are willing to pay big bucks for quality properties close to the city, particularly in the suburbs of New Farm, Teneriffe, Camp Hill and West End.

Demand is coming from owner-occupiers and local investors who are competing with Sydney and Melbourne buyers, who think nothing of dropping between $1 million and $1.5 million on a house.

“For that sort of money they’re barely getting a garage the same distance from the CBD in Sydney,” the report said.

Herron Todd White Queensland managing director Gavin Hulcombe said there seemed to be a strong correlation between interstate migration and sales volumes.

“The spread between Sydney and Brisbane prices is arguably as wide as it has been for the past 12 to 15 years,” Mr Hulcombe said.

“We’re seeing southern buyers come here and see value within some of Brisbane’s better suburbs close to the city.”

According to the latest ABS data, Queensland recorded positive net interstate migration of 11,581 in 2015-16 – only second to Victoria.

The Herron Todd White report said buyers should be prepared to fork out more than $1 million to snap up a quality house close to the CBD.

In West End, stock is in scarce supply, but for between $1 million and $1.3 million, you can find a 4-bedroom home on a 200sq m to 300sq m lot.

In Camp Hill, $1.25 million to $1.75 million will get you a decent sized house on a standard 405sq m block, according to the report.

Expect to pay between $900,000 and $1.5 million to get in the door in New Farm or Teneriffe – and even then the house will still need some work.

“Sydney and Melbourne buyers moving to Brisbane are conditioned to paying much higher prices than perhaps the local market,” Mr Hulcombe said.

“But they are still competing with the local market because these suburbs are still highly regarded areas.”

And it’s not the just ready-to-move in stock that’s attracting attention.

The report said inner-city houses with the potential to renovate or demolish and rebuild had investors and owner occupiers in a frenzy.

Propertyology managing director Simon Pressley said more than 80 per cent of inquiries about Brisbane properties came from Sydney and Melbourne residents looking to invest.

Mr Pressley said they usually fit two demographics – the long-standing resident or the “rentvestor”.

“There’s the long-standing Sydney or Melbourne resident whose home has grown in value in the last three to four years and want to do something with it as they’re hearing the warnings Sydney and Melbourne won’t always be like this,” he said.

“And then there’s the “rentvestor” – the younger, Gen Y millennial.”

Mr Pressley said their first home was often an investment property in a more affordable city and Brisbane was the next alternative.

Steve Condon from Place Estate Agents – Coorparoo said Camp Hill and the surrounding suburbs of Coorparoo and Holland Park were attracting strong interest from southern residents.

“I’ve actually got an interstate buyer coming up this Thursday I’ll be showing properties to,” he said.

“They’ve made the decision they don’t want to spend their money in Sydney anymore and instead spend money in Brisbane and eventually move here.”

Mr Condon said Camp Hill’s proximity to the CBD, large parcels of land and good capital growth made it attractive to interstate investors and owner-occupiers.

Another market trend Herron Todd White has uncovered is in Bulimba, in Brisbane’s inner east.

“Where it used to be cool to acquire a large double block with a classic cottage, many are looking to get a post-war and enjoy more flexible options when it comes to a possible demolition and rebuild.”

The report said there was strong demand for both renovated Queenslanders and modern homes completed to a high standard.

But while demand for houses is heating up, the Herron Todd White report reveals the Brisbane apartment market is a different story.

It’s declining, along with Canberra, Perth, Gippsland and South West Western Australia, according to the report.

Owner-occupier designed units in Brisbane are still doing well if priced appropriately, but demand from interstate and overseas investors is cooling rapidly.

“In our experience, new units are off about 5 per cent from their market highs if they were purchased in the past three years,” the report said.
