    Thank You Somersoft/EBM/Sydneys Children Hospital Hi All, Apologies for the less than subtle bumping of an old thread, but just wanted to drop a quick post to say a huge thank you to all those who quoted our reference code when ordering their EBM landlords insurance policies. As promised...

    Has anyone heard of this company

    Yes, Property Buyer are fellow REBAA and PIPA members. Technically a competitor of ours, but certainly one of the better BA groups around. All the best

    Wanting to become a buyers agent

    Thanks Alicudi, Absolutely presentation and marketability are very important, not least because one of a Buyers Agents key stakeholders are Real Estate Agents who live and breath by the "Dress the business, to get the business" mantra and therefore can often relate better to those with a...

    Wanting to become a buyers agent

    Sorry but I think this is a little shortsighted. A 'fake it, til you make it' approach will only get you so far, but to me this attitude is incredibly negligent taking into consideration the magnitude of accountability entrusted in buyers agents. A good buyers agent will live and die by the...

    What makes a good mortgage broker?

    From a buyers agents perspective, I always encourage clients to choose a mortgage broker who has a long term and holistic approach. Essentially they are an extension to your own brand. Ultimately they need someone who is established and will stay with them through the whole wealth creation...

    Wanting to become a buyers agent

    I couldn't agree more with what Jacque has said here. There is a large difference between being an effective property investor who can filter and pass on occasional deals to friends than being an effective buyers agent. I can only speak for myself and my team within Sydney, but VERY rarely...

    Is there an EBM rep on here?

    No problem, its a very worthy cause and the least I can do to help given my first hand experience when my son was born. For anyone completing the form online just enter Hunter James in the agent box or quote HJ11 for the discount. All the best Seb

    Is there an EBM rep on here?

    Hi Beachgurl, If you don't have any luck with BrettC, when calling EBM just tell them you were referred by Sebastian from Hunter James Buyers Agents and they will give you the first 60 days off any new policy. This is something we offer our clients, but seeing as we receive a $20 referral...

    Sydney Auctions going mental?

    Looking at the floor plan this seems a bit off, even including the balcony and garage space. These two below would have been a good comps and hint that you probably weren't going to tie it up in the low $600's...

    'One chance to make an offer' strategy

    Sealed bids by a deadline is a very common tactic employed by agents. It is effectively the same as an auction without wasting time on the theatrics and essentially determines interested parties walk-a-way price achieving the objective of the highest price for the vendor. Offering $100K above...

    NRAS property

    Congratulations Hi Jen, Firstly huge congratulations on the big move. Great to have someone clearly passionate about property in the hot seat. With regards to your question. As a BA myself I certainly don't disregard NRAS, I just feel it is more suited to those with a debt reduction...

    Reconfiguring 1 bedder into 2 bed.

    Have to agree with Noodle on this one. Although hypothetically if the size was large i.e. Min 60sqm, the last Devank submission would be my preference.

    Commercial buyer's agent?

    Very different game. There are plenty of tenant advocates if you look hard enough and many of these will cross over in into CP BA. As for a glut of resi BA's. I respectfully disagree. Resi BA in Aus' is still very much a fledgling industry,

    Cutting out the agent

    I think alot of people have misunderstood what the OP is suggesting. This is a very aggressive tactic which can prove effective IF you are willing to pay a premium price. I would not recommend doing this ever as an investor but as a primary residence buyer if you feel the property is so...

    What % of Real Estate Agents Are Seriously Wealthy?

    There are a couple of sales cliches screaming out to me here: "you never get a second chance to make a first impression" and "you have to dress the business to get the business". Painfully cheesy, but in reality it really is true even if it is just another marketing ploy.

    Which unit would you buy?.. Does quality matter?

    Without all the other information it is difficult to give a valid answer, however based on the limited information you have provided it is likely that the cash flow benefits from the left over depreciation of the 90's property would override the .3% difference in gross yield. The fact that it...

    Sydney Investor Meetup @ Baulkham Hills - Friday 16th August

    This should be a good one given the current market, not to mention all the recent BA/REA/Broker sledging of late here on SS. Providing I can get the Mrs to watch the little one, I will be there.
