My grandparents used to tell me stories about hawkers frequently coming to their home (5 or 6 a day) during the depression. Maybe we're going to see am ironic reversal of this phenomenon, with landowners being pestered 5 or 6 times a day by wannabe Mark Roltons looking to buy stuff, instead of...

No, Telejazzer, I'm not intent on doing the course, I'm intent on using the strategy, which is the only one suitable to my circumstances at present. Yes, I will miss out on many deals, but property options are the best way I can think of to gain an entry to the property development business...

It seems that by the time an agent is involved in the sale of a property, the sellers have decided that they want their money quickly, and a firm assurance that they'll get it. If they're approached by a buyer before they've even considered selling, it's more likely that they'll be prepared...

That's what I thought. What upsell?

I'm not affiliated with Mark Rolton in any way, and he certainly has never heard of me. I admire people who exhibit artistry and flair, and who are performing at the top of their game. Mark's game is property development via options trading and salesmanship. It's rare to find someone who's as...

Surely this dispute could have been averted by wording the option agreement so that the grantor is obliged to approve the lodgement of any application by the grantee for a DA. I didn't read the whole case, but it seems that the Broncos woke up to the potential value of their land after entering...

This is a good point, Mattnz. Theoretically, one of the agents could just put their feet on the desk knowing that they were going to get 30% regardless.

Yes, it seems that way. But I was referring to you personally. When your clients come to you for advice about whether or not they should sell an option, surely they're not signed up at that stage?

Maybe there's an opportunity here for you to offer "mum and dads on large valuable lots" a better deal. Eg, don't sign that offer, I've got a better one. Of course, you should seek independent legal advice...:)

Councils in my area - Adelaide - are quite willing to reveal contact details for free. The catch is you have to go to their office and look up the address in their register. Very time consuming. It's frustrating that such a simple task is so time-consuming. RPdata gives you the name of the...

What's a "Training" mine?

That would be the gist of it, but I'm sure it wouldn't be the only sentence uttered by the buyer during negotiation. I'd prefer to present the seller with the idea of " I'd like to buy your property, but I need time to check out all my costs before I can decide whether it's worthwhile for me...

Yes, and where the owner is not interested in or able to realise that value.

No I'm not posting on anyone's behalf - just my off the top of the head ideas. Ironically I would do Mark Rolton's course if I could afford it. Maybe the reason I can't afford it is because I haven't done his course!? - ha ha. Maybe if I could afford his course I wouldn't need it.

Sure. it's upsell, but at least it's "try before you buy" In this case it was anyway, because I learned a few things. Plus it was highly entertaining.

cu@thetop, I wasn't at Mark Rolton's seminar long enough to find out his attitude to lawyers for the seller. He may have touched on it briefly, but I get the impression he expects the seller to refer to a lawyer before signing. At the leaset I haven't seen anything in his material that tells...

I agree about the necessity to be first on the scene cu@thetop, But why do you think they are a scam?

What do you mean?

Mark Rolton's Methods On Tuesday, May 7, 2013 I dropped in on Mark Rolton's one-day presentation in Adelaide. It's easy to see why he is so successful - he's highly intelligent articulate, learns quickly from his experience, very determined. + a few other traits. Within minutes of sitting...

Admin, I couldn't find a Property Options thread, so I started this one. I've recently joined the property options game, and I'm at the stage of learning the rules. So far I've made the following observations: ***It seems that we need to find "motivated sellers" for the strategy to work. In...
