With media headlines shouting doom and gloom as the stock market continues to experience the effects of global instability, more and more people are turning to property. The current real estate market gives further encouragement to nervous stock investors or those with cash available, who are increasingly turning to property which has always been considered a safe haven. Historically low interest rates together with low rental vacancy rates will continue to keep property in solid demand as a secure long-term investment.

With continued global economic instability expected to affect stock market performance for some time to come, direct real estate investment is looking good.
At Greg Hocking we’re different. The difference is experience.
