    Do you trust TrueLocal?

    Georod3: Service Central allows both positive and negative review. Because my previous electrician disappeared, I had to find a new a electrician recently. After reading some review, I made a call and had job done just before Christmas. No complaint.

    Do you trust TrueLocal?

    This is an interesting one. Generally, IMO, I understand that dodgy tradies rely on TrueLocal's local newspaper and online listing as they can't get referral from their previous clients. They wouldn't have any business if they also fail to turn up and give you a quote. My concern is the way...

    Do you trust TrueLocal?

    I am sure many people here looking for quality tradies, many people visit TrueLocal for information. How reliable is the informaion from TrueLocal? I have read some discussions about it on whirlpool's forum. The concensus is that the reviews on TrueLocal is deceptive and unreliable because...

    Due to current heavy rain, I need to have old timber retaining wall replaced ASAP. I would appreciate it if anyone could commend a reliable retaining wall builder / landscaper. The property is on the south side of Brisbane. Thanks in advance.

    Rental Express Qld - getting passed around like a hot potato from PM to PM

    Definitely you can chose 30 days instead of 90 days. I'm not sure if you can change it to 7 days. I think it should be "no less than 30 days".

    Interview Property Managers what questions to ask

    A RE may have one, two or six PMs. So it's important to interview the PM who is going to look after your IPs. I terminated contract with a RE recently because previous PM got promotion and she is no longer to manage my IP. The new PM is very inexperienced and has no knowledge of common sense...

    Property Manager playing games

    Haha, Ray White again, on yesterday's ABC 7.30 The owner of the Randwick office is working with the liquidator. And your contract is their asset and they can sell the asset to pay off the debts.

    Tenant not paying rent

    "They advised me that they sold their house and were cashed up and therfore had no references." My previous tenants said that too. And the worst is that my ex-PM accepted the excuse and put pressure on me to accept the application. I learned a lesson. In the future, if an applicant says that...
