With two interest rate reductions in the latter part of 2011, we can see a renewed interest and confidence in the market. Not that we need it - here in the Inner West, sales have been strong and prices are steady. It seems many people are realising what we’ve always known - the Inner West has a lot to offer. While I’ve enjoyed some time off with my family, I’m also excited to be back doing what I love. There’s never been a better time to speak with us about selling, or leasing your property. Craig J. Stephens Managing Director / Officer in Effective Control M 0418 547 938
