• Go beyond questions of commission rates, marketing investment and the value of the home. You will find if you stay within these questions you will find it difficult to select the best agent for you. • See which agent listens first and understands what questions to ask in order to establish the most appropriate process to sell your home. • Remember it is the individual sales person selling your home, not the agency brand. Gain a clear understanding of what the individual has done not just the brand.

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.
