It’s our Camp Hill.

Joanna Gianniotis I Q3 Report, 2017

Most Recommended Agent in Camp Hill

Hello.

As the warm weather sets in, I am sure I am not alone in welcoming our gorgeous summer months.

Summer definitely works in a seller’s favour, with the sun shining, lush green gardens, and flowers in bloom; it not only makes your home look its best, but also encourages buyers to get out and attend open for inspections and auctions.

The Brisbane property market on a whole continues on its solid trajectory of median house price growth. There are several reasons why Brisbane has maintained such a stable level of growth for the last decade and given the current sentiment out there, it is unlikely that we will see a huge swing of change anytime soon. Closer to home, the suburb of Coorparoo, the hub of the south east side, will soon be welcoming a new kid on the block… known around town as the much anticipated ‘Coorparoo Square.’ It will hold some major tenants such as the boutique national cinema chain, Dendy Cinemas, Global supermarket chain, Aldi and three residential buildings with 360 luxury apartments. The $252 million development will house 6,700 square metres of retail space and include a mix of convenience, entertainment, and lifestyle shops and restaurants. The inner south east community is no doubt very excited to see the completion of the new Coorparoo Square.

Just as the weather suggests, we are in for a fantastic summer, so too is our prediction that the local real estate market will invariably end the year favourably. If you are considering buying or selling, or just thinking how you can best navigate the current market, feel free to give me a call to discuss how best to move forward.

Here to serve and help you.

I find myself in the very privileged position to be operating in a wonderful area of Brisbane.

Camp Hill is doing particularly well in the property market with the median house price growth for the last 12 months positioned at 8.43 per cent. This growth is likely to continue with the local market waiting in anticipation for the completion of the extension of the White Hill Village. Residents can expect “a community hub with a Queensland lifestyle feel. Big, open undercover areas with lots of outdoor dining,” says Ms. Hartley, Hamell General Manager. It’s no wonder house prices continue to rise in this wonderful area.

created, and life takes it course. Where children are born, and raised, and where people grow old. Buying and selling a home requires an individual who has empathy and sensitivity, a good listener. A person with great attention to detail, who can use their years of experience seeing thousands of homes to guide and advise you in terms of the smaller details that are necessary to achieve maximum results.

Someone who will throw everything into making sure that you will be a customer for life, not just the moment. I am that person.

But buying and selling a home is about more than just the numbers. Buying and selling a home is a highly emotional decision. So it truly is a balance. Sure, the logical decisions must be made, but homes are where memories are

If you are thinking of buying or selling your home, and need a little help navigating the current market, or just need some sincere and honest advice. Call me today, I’m here to help and serve you.

“They say selling your house is one of the most stressful things you will do in life. So when it comes to choosing an agent, you want to make sure the fate of your most significant financial asset is in the most capable hands. Joanna strikes just the right balance between being mercilessly efficient and personable. You want to like the person who sells your house – because you’ll spend a lot of time with them and you want buyers to like and trust them.

But you’ll also want them to have a touch of the killer instinct: because at the end of the day, you want the best deal. We reckon Joanna strikes just the right balance.”

“I have known Joanna for a very long time (over 11 years) having bought the property through Place. During this time Joanna has consistently kept me updated on what is happening in the market.

Joanna is a consummate professional. Joanna also has a personality that is approachable which gives her the insights into her clients requirements enabling her to be able to communicate effectively at all levels...no question is too minor. With the recent sale of my property Joanna organised her team to manage the co-ordination of all contractors in preparing the property for sale. This alleviated an enormous amount of stress being that that I live interstate. Joanna worked tirelessly to secure the sale – both for myself and the buyer – a win/win for all. Joanna it has been a pleasure to work with you in selling my property. Thank you!”

Top 10 tips: Presenting Your PLACE Potential Buyers are looking for love at first sight. They are seeking that immediate attraction, something that makes their heart beat faster, complimented by good looks and a little charm. Here are ten tips from Joanna Gianniotis on getting Buyers to fall for your place without spending a fortune. The more effort placed on the preparation makes it so much easier for you when you move out. That quick settlement for top dollar could be stress free if you are prepared.

Any home, in all price brackets looks better when it smells good and sparkles as best it can.

1. LOOKING YOUR BEST.

5. EXPECTING SOMEONE?

Street appeal is so important. Tidy the yard, put out fresh mulch in the garden and add a new latch to the fence so it opens easily. Wash the house and acid wash your pavers or concrete paths. See if any of the paint needs a touch up.

Present the house as if you are about to have friends over. Set the table, it doesn’t have to be a formal setting, casual is better. Put a jug of water and nice glasses out or a bread loaf on a nice platter with napkins. If you have a deck or courtyard, focus your efforts there rather than the formal dining area that is not regularly used. Selling the lifestyle feature of the home creates an emotional connection.

2. MEET YOU AT THE FRONT DOOR. Your agent will greet your potential Buyer at the front door. They will take their shoes off and definitely have time to look around at this point.

The front door needs to be cleaned with a homely touch, such as twin pot plants or a nice door mat. Does the paint on your front door need a touch up?

3. SPRING CLEAN. De-cluttering will make the whole house feel larger. Minimise appliances on the kitchen bench. Reduce the amount of items in each room as best you can to make the rooms look ‘less busy’. Do any touch ups of paint work in traffic areas and cracks/gaps. Are you blinds clean? Have Buyers focus on the positives of your home.

4. LET THERE BE LIGHT. If the temperature is right, open up your windows, French doors and curtains, creating light and breezes. Put lights on, even in the daytime, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. Lamps are effective in creating a mood for twilight viewing.

6. IN BLOOM. Use striking fresh flowers to create a centre piece in a room. I recently purchased some lilies and couch cushions and it brightened the room dramatically. Use the single magnolia or camelia from the garden in a float bowl—very dramatic and so homely.

8. SEXING UP THE BATHROOM Soaps, hand towels, towels and bath oils should be displayed in the bathrooms again to look like guests are coming over. Buy a beautiful set of towels and new quality soaps that you just use for the open house/inspection.

9. CREATING THE MOOD. Music works extremely well as Buyers can freely look and talk about the house without feeling like someone is watching over them. There is an amazing array of ‘chill music’ that you can use to set the mood. We want the experience to be as comfortable as possible for the Buyers. To top the mood off, buy candles that are fresh. My personal favourite is the ‘Glasshouse Amalfi Coast’.

7. BEDROOM ETIQUETTE.

10. YOUR BEST HOUR.

Make sure your bed is crisply ironed and the bed is perfectly made. Purchase a new doona cover if you’re not happy with the ones you have, but keep it crisp and neutral—white linen is perfect.

A blanket neatly folded at the bottom of the bed is very effective. Ultimately, you want it to look like a hotel. Add extra pillows, make your bed the feature. Look at some magazines for ideas.

Finally, know the best hours in the day to present your house. If your house faces West, it is better to do an open house in the morning. This is important if you do not have air-conditioning. If your house has a lot of shade, hold open houses in the warmer hours.

Work out when the entertaining areas are sunlit but not boiling.
