Alison’s Advice

Licensed Estate Agent Thomson Property

Key tips for investors

150 Balcombe Road Mentone VIC 3194

• Ensure routine inspections are completed regularly. Does the Property Manager know what to look for during these inspections?

Ph : 9584 6311 Mob : 0417 328 010 www.thomsonproperty.com.au

• Is the rent reviewed to market levels?

Having a qualified and experienced Property Manager is vital in ensuring that your investment property is being well looked after. Does your Property Manager have experience in dealing with insurance companies and making claims as well as dealing with VCAT (Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal)? Landlord insurance is a must, check to ensure what period the “loss of rent” clause covers & their definition of “malicious damage”.

Remember a tenant whose phone calls and emails are responded to quickly tend to pay their rent on time & keep the property clean and tidy. This will also help ensure your tenant stays in the property longer.

• Has your gas heater been serviced in the last 2 years & have your gutters been cleared after Autumn each year?

• Do you have your smoke detectors checked by a professional at least once per year?

"I firmly believe that honesty and a trustworthy persona are the hallmarks of any professional agent, and I work hard to be that person."

Nick Jones A steady focus on high standards and client satisfaction are what drive Nick Jones to achieve. As an integral part of the vibrant C&G sales team, Nick is pleased to be amongst likeminded colleagues who strive for exceptional outcomes and customer service in the Bayside area.

Prior to joining the real estate industry, Nick worked as a landscape gardener. His passion for property stepped indoors several years ago when he moved back from London to Melbourne. Nick became a Chisholm & Gamon team member to continue pursuing his love of working with people and their properties.

“I firmly believe that honesty and a trustworthy persona are the hallmarks of any professional agent, and I work hard to be that person,” says Nick. This attitude has translated into many successes so far and a strong following of satisfied clients.

When not working, Nick loves to travel. Over the years Nick has moved across the globe to experience life submerged in different cultures. At home Nick, together with his wife Alexandra, enjoys entertaining family and friends.

Chisholm & Gamon Property deliver premium results throughout Bayside and beyond. With offices in Black Rock, Elwood and Port Melbourne, we focus on customer satisfaction and personal integrity. We love talking property!

trivia night A question for you: Have you ever found yourself in a situation and felt completely alone?

This is how our families felt when they were told their child had a problem with their corpus callosum. “Just wait and see how it affects them, we cant tell you anything more�, is what was said to everyone. This is heartbreaking.

Now that ausDoCC has been established we no longer feel alone. At last we have people to talk to who know what we are going through.

This is the reason for this trivia night. We as parents want to meet each other and our children and talk with professionals at a national conference in Brisbane in March 2015.

We need to raise at least $30,000 to run a professional 2 day conference.

WHEN: 26 July 2014 TIME: 7PM Start

WHERE: Banyan Fields

Primary School

90 Cadles Road Carrum Downs

TICKETS: $15 each

8 to 10 people per table

There will be games, auctions, raffles and of course Trivia. Byo drinks, nibbles and of course gold coins for games. EFT will also be available on the night for auction purchases. To order tickets email info@ausdocc.org.au For more Info contact Niki on 0421 379 097 We are also seeking donations to use as prizes and auction items. Please let us know if you can help in any way.
