It depends where you are located. All Homes is very strong in ACT, it's their number one portal. In W.A. it's the REIWA website. In Victoria, Domain is dominant and in Qld it's all real-estate.com.au. The industry will be looking to make www.squiiz.com.au a nationally based portal, fully...

Squiiz.com.au The Real Estate industry is currently launching it's own new website. real-estate.com.au has been increasing prices to ridiculous levels, some by as much as 800% increase. The industry recognises they only have 2 choices - fight them or start passing on more of the ridiculous...

I don't log in on the forum very often these days so maybe things have changed but couldn't help but respond to this. TMNT, I get your point regarding that advert. It's poorly worded, pricing is all over the place and it sounds like an untrained agent who needs to work on better skills but I...

I would hold. CGT would be paid on any gains from when it becomes and investment, eg rented. Have 3 agents come out, tell them you aren't selling but need a written appraisal at peak price or above. This can help argue current price in the future to reduce CGT. My concern would be if the...

Excellent question. I work with PM's and Property Management every day and here are the attributes I see of a great Property Management business. 1. Systems. They know exactly what they have to do and when to do it. Check this by asking questions like "what do you do when a property goes in...

Forget hits or any other stats. Different portals perform better in diff states. In Qld Domain has tried but can't get anywhere near re.com.au. Agents receive approx 5 enquiries from Domain to 100 from re.com.au. In Victoria Domain performs much stronger. ACT it is allhomes.com.au. In WA...

Yes, highly likely from RP Data which is highly illegal based on the Privacy Act. The legislation regarding direct mail is clear but often not followed and rarely sees a conviction.

To sell the property on your behalf, regardless of any Property Management agreement, they would have to be appointed by you in writing to act as sales agents on your behalf. Without that, they have no rights to a commission. I would keep it between just you and the tenant though until it was...

I'm not sure on Vic salary packages but in Brisbane Property Managers are generally on 40-60k depending on experience etc. Other things that can be in addition to a Property Managers salary include a car or car allowance, phone or phone allowance and bonus structures based on meeting set targets...

Go Gecko Hello everyone, Some facts regarding Go Gecko. The media reports were not accurate, what a shock hey!! I was a Director and Board Member until Sept 2008. In Feb 2009 BRW announced Go Gecko as second best Franchise in 2 of 3 categories. Sadly I think this in part was a cause of...

BTW - Never once in 11 years living in our property have we had an issue from backing onto the park. We love that facet of our home. At the moment on a Saturday morning there is a kids game of cricket being played and through winter they play soccer. It's great seeing people out enjoying...

Hi Andrew, it's interesting looking back isn't it. That property would be worth Plenty now!! I also still live in the same house, backing onto the park. We did the renovation, a little different than I described, but it certainly added a lot of value and we enjoy it here. Hope all is well...

The Bucket List - Who hasn't watched this movie and made a list. An Unfinished Life - Great story, prob my fave of all time. Shawshank Redemption - classic There's something about Mary - so funny Dirty Harry - iconic 50 First Dates - so clever and different Flying High - Comedy classic...

Dear Marko, Well aren't you just proving yourself an idiot. Before you defame me you should be extremely careful. Its people like you that I now come to Somersoft rarely. I actually replied to the post a few days ago which took me ages and the damn login failed and I didnt have the time to...

Sure can. Kev www.reas.com.au

The answer is as simple as the original agent does not have a valid and binding appointment to act. Therefore he is entitled to diddly squat. Agent A will receive no commission and is entitled to no commission. The seller will be required to pay 1 commission which is to Agent B who has a...

Realway are another. First National are a marketing group (co-op) the same as Professionals. Go Gecko were ranked 2cnd fastest growing franchise in 2 of 3 categories in the latest BRW rankings. This was for all franchises, not just real estate. 5 more stores open in August. 2 in Sth...
