Industry Comment

Let’s talk real estate & newspapers have grabbed this opportunity to profile themselves as part of the newspaper adverts. All very efficient and mutually supportive. As an aside the new Real Estate Agents Act came into effect in November 2008 and this has brought changes that affect our industry. In the past real estate organisations’ have been able to make a profit from marketing campaigns that cost the clients more than the company. Now, discounts or bonuses received have to be disclosed to the clients Sooo, what's with the internet?

Jill Quaid The reliance on newspapers by the real estate Industry has been an enduring relationship – one that has seen many a boom and bust in our industry cycles and yet we have been inseparable. BUT FOR HOW LONG? As with every industry the newspaper medium has seen the steady march of the internet and there have been some cracks developing in our relationship. Newspaper has been great at getting into everyone’s homes in the past and offered a visual medium critical in portraying a property for sale at what has been a cost effective rate. Individual agents

Website versus newspaper is becoming a battle ground for selling property. The fact is a third of a metropolitan paper are real estate adverts, making the property section sometimes bigger than the national news section and the reason for this mass of paper based adverts is the state of the market and the behaviour of the purchaser and vendor.

Customers we deal with in my office have all spent time on the websites taking tours of the property deciding which properties to visit. Instead of visiting all the listings of Open Homes they weed out properties based on judgments’ made on line. These statistics, you would think, would drive us, as real estate agents and our client’s, to abandon the world of newsprint for just websites. But the truth is - it’s not happening and some would say it is a head-inthe-sand mentality.

Give it a good rake, level it off and get ready to apply your grass seed and fertiliser. How do you know when to do this? Once the soil temperature has started rising - that's the time to apply your grass seed. And, how do you know when the soil temperature is rising? That's easy - when you find you're mowing your lawns more often than not - the soil temperature has increased. Finish off your rose pruning. And, lastly check for aphids on everything, but particularly new shoots on your roses. If you spot aphids on your plants simply hose them off with a strong stream of water and spray the plant with Neem, organic oil, sold at Awapuni Nurseries.

Interior decor

The ugly space

Creative ways to hide the ugly spaces and marks in your house! We’ve all got the ugly spots in our house – the areas we don’t even like to look at. So here are some top tips gathered to turn your worst bits into the best bits! It’s great for open homes as well.

Bookshelves! This is such a simple but functional idea. Where you have holes, stains or rough patches on your walls why not put up a bracket and put some elegant hardback books in place!

Router doubter!

Hide the air conditioning unit:

There is no doubt about it – computers, their cords, and now their routers have caused work spaces to become incredibly ugly but try this trick out to hide your router. Just get an old book or one you want to impress your mates with and hide the router inside it! All you have to do is strip out the middle so make sure it’s not a valuable book first!

Now this will take a little D.I.Y but is well worth it! If you have an air conditioning unit that sits idle for most of the year why not cover it in a functional blackboard? All you need is some wood and a few D.I.Y tools to make it like a box lid that is able to be taken on and off easily.

Pretty up the power cords:

Nothing looks more terrible than power cords up the wall so why not decorate them or arrange them into the shape of a bush! Have some fun with it and see what you can come up with.

Making the washing machine and dryer trendy! With just a little bit of a tape and a lot of imagination you can pretty up those ugly appliances.

MAKE A COMMITMENT TO PROTECT WHAT MATTERS
