Family agency goes global WELL-known Lara real estate agency has joined forces with global franchise PRD Nationwide. Lara agent Tony McManus announced this week that his company, Allpoints@McManus, had merged with Geelong’s PRD Nationwide, formerly Hayden Real Estate. Mr McManus said his family-owned business had served Lara and the northern suburbs of Geelong for the past 35 years. He credited the company’s success to his team’s honesty, integrity and “outstanding market leadership”. “We’re very proud of what we have achieved over the past 35 years,” Mr McManus said. “Merging with PRD Nationwide means the business will be able to provide our clients with even more-attentive service through PRD’s wealth of experience and focus on results.” Mr McManus said his team would continue to build on a strong community link with Lara residents. “We’re very excited about the strong networks PRD Nationwide will open us up to. “We’re looking forward to using those networks to introduce potential buyers to the town of Lara.” The Lara office would join more than 125 other PRD Nationwide offices around the world, Mr McManus said. “Like McManus real estate, the company shares the same values of teamwork, integrity and community. “Apart from gaining access to new networks, we’re also excited about being able to adopt new technological elements that we couldn’t as a small business. “Some of these will be advanced phone technology, SMS property alerts for potential buyers and iPad technology.”
Joining forces: Tony McManus and PRD Nationwide Geelong director Mark Hayden.
Regulations ‘to add more cost to new homes’ NEW State Government regulations will add thousands of dollars to the cost of a new home, according to builders. HIA Victorian executive director Gil King said the regulations, announced last week, required all new homes built from May 1, 2012 to include new “accessibility” features, including wider doorways, rein-forced bathroom walls and outside ramps. Mr King said the features were not “properly re-searched or costed”. “The announcement of these regulations, which could see every new home have a ramp to the front door, was buried in a document named A Fairer Victoria,” he said. Mr King estimated the planned accessibility features would add “about $5000” to the cost of a standard 180-square-metre home. “HIA members already voluntarily provide accessible homes where requested but imposing this on everyone is not a fair or practical approach.” The HIA fully supported improved accessibility in new homes and was a signatory to Federal Government’s Universal Housing Design standards, Mr King said.

Ms Rhodes says. “Speaking from experience, this is the fifth time I have built but the first time with Signature Homes, I received nothing but exceptional service from all involved. Everything used was of a very high standard and totally within my budget. “I was very satisfied and because I was renting, I appreciated the time frame in which my home was built.” Signature Homes Geelong has achieved an excellent reputation as a high quality builder of new homes.
