The browser version(I use Chrome) The home page is the same, It's how it presents results that have changed. An example is if you search NSW it'll just present one "dot" with 100+ within it. This is new. Changed over a few weeks ago, I've been trying to get used to it but it's impossible.

Anyone else noticed how aweful realestate.com.au is since the changes? 1.No right clicking so you can't open multiple tabs with different property's. WTF are they serious? Then when you click "back" you goto your origanl search not the map area you'd just predefined. 2.When searching...

Even that doesn't always work. My old Boss overstayed in the US while dating a American girl. Got banned for 10 years from the US , ended up marrying her and they lived happy expatriate lives. Waited out the 10 years, then applied to go and visit her family. Rejected. Then got a dream job...

I've tried and failed aswell, I had about $1000 worth of random renovation gear. Anyone know the policy for getting a "trade" discount. Might be worth going through the hoops if you buy a lot of stuff there.

Appontment of agent (Queensland) Section 4.2 Type of appointment The property manager has ticked "single appointment" What does that mean for me? It only explains what happens if "continuing appointment" has been ticked. How much notice must I get the property manager in order to...

I low balled a gold coast property and they accepted it. Try talking to the agent to get clues. why are they selling? Are they prepared to meet the market? They paid 315K in 2007, I'd say your 320K would be ballpark. However who cares what they're asking for? Work out what you think it's...

My numbers incorporated a 10% loss over the last two years plus a large margin of safety to account for the down going market.

Spoke to the sellers agent, they told me it had a valuation done in August last year that came in at 240K(I believe them). I'm tossing up between CBA 7.31% and NAB 7.07% packages, Any compelling reasons why CBA would be worth the extra .24%?
