Prime Selling Season Awarded REIWA’s “2017 Medium Residential Agency of the Year” 2017 | ISSUE 27
W E LC O M E BIG G E R , B O L D ER I S S U E! Welcome to the new Bourkes Magazine format. Our larger format allows us to highlight our owners properties with bigger photos and an easier format to read. The circulation may double from 17,000 with the next issue, stay tuned! I’m also very proud of our Property Management team of Dominique Parisot, Marie Corrignan, Joeanne Adams, Davina Morton and Kim Austen (as our Business Development Manager). We are growing well in management numbers and keeping vacancy numbers low with hard work of our full time Leasing Manager.
15 New projects were identified which if/when they go ahead could generate 10,000 new jobs in WA and be worth in excess of $8 billion. There is already a shortage of geologists, drillers and underground engineers. Good news again which will have a knock on effect into the real estate sector by way of rentals and sales. As always, should you be thinking of selling or leasing out your investment property, it would be our pleasure to help you. You can contact our office on 9474 2000.
Alan Bourke Principal / Auctioneer
All our Property Managers are long term career professionals each with over 8 years experience. We offer a very tight, highly trained department to any investor. WA RESOURCES NEWS 2017 REIWA AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE
It was pleasing to read in the West Australian, the news about an uplift in the resources sector which will increase employment. Due to the rise in iron ore price to approx US$70/tonne from US$31/tonne in (January 2016), many large projects are going ahead. Also with the demand for lithium for mobile phones and electric cars, WA could become a Global Supplier.

RENTAL PROPERTIES TIPS TO ENSURE YOUR INVESTMENT IS ON TRACK! KIM AUSTEN | BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGERUSTEN
Last month, we were very proud of the fact that we leased 23 homes. This is a huge achievement in this market.
• Is the property presented well? Lawns mowed, carpets professionally cleaned and perhaps a coat of paint to ensure the home is attractive to the potential tenant?
As an investor, here are some tips that will ensure your property is leased.
• Has the property been photographed professionally? For October/November – we offer free professional photos.
• Is the property priced correctly? Has your agent provided you with the correct market evidence to ensure that your property is not over priced?
• Has the property been advertised with home open times, in particular on weekends and after hours?
With this many homes on the market it’s important that your agent works with potential tenants at times that are convenient for the tenant to come through the home. At Bourke’s we find these four simple tips will ensure that your property is leased in the quickest possible time to the very best tenant.
