How an agent can help onthehome

front WITH EMILY BLACK LITTLE FISH MEDIA

SOME readers might have noticed a ‘for sale by owner’ advertisement in the paper recently, and I must confess that this is my property, which is for sale. You may be wondering why I have decided to list my property by myself, and not go for an agent. I’ve chosen to go this way as about 70 per cent of all my clients are local real estate agents, and knowing all of them for many years, I couldn’t choose just one. I had a lady phone me to ask for advice on selling her home herself, but my advice is not to do it. Even with my connections, it is a very stressful process and I would not recommend it. Little Fish Media does photography, copywriting and social media marketing just to name a few things - so I was able to do all the marketing sides of things myself. But it takes time. Then it takes time to answer phone calls, show the property and do the contract (not that we’ve gotten to that part yet). And it might not sound like much, but when I am trying to run a business and my husband works full-time, it is a lot. Real estate agents take all the stress out of the sale process, and that is just one of many things they bring to the table. They have the time to take the phone calls, show people your home and manage your contract. The next step is choosing your agent, and how do you know who is the best person to enlist? Those agents or agencies with the loudest advertisements aren’t necessarily the best fit for you. Agents are a critical part of the selling process who not only take out the stress, but offer professional insights and experience as well.

It certainly isn't easy to sell your own home. Get in touch with a professional. Word of mouth is always a good way to get started - ask around to see if any of your friends and colleagues have had a good or bad experience with any local agencies and agents. If you are new to the area and are unable to seek recommendations, check the local paper and see who is out there. Once you have a list of potential agents ready, call them and arrange to meet with them for an interview to ultimately choose an agent who has experience, integrity and professionalism. Some questions to ask yourself include:

· Do they seem genuinely interested in your

listing price? Some questions for you ask them include:

· What is your experience as a real estate agent?

· How long have you worked in the local area?

· How many sales were you involved with in the past 12 months?

· How many listings do you have? · What are your strengths as an agent? · Which marketing strategy is best for our property?

· Do they have a membership of the local,

I would suggest having the agents come to your listing - this way they can conduct an on-site appraisal and can aptly communicate on how to best serve you.

· Do they have knowledge of the local area

This service should be free and you are in no way obligated to engage this agent.

property, or is it just another listing for them? state or national real estate institute? where your listing is located?

· Do they have knowledge of the price bracket you are selling in?

· Are they honest about the market and your

From this process it should be easy to tell who to pick, and once you’ve chosen your agent a written agreement should be drawn up, which will show a fee estimate, charges

and expenses you are expected to pay once sold. You can choose to send the agreement to your solicitor before signing to ensure everything is kosher. They should provide you with:

· Recent market sales and appraisal data in your area;

· Contact with buyers; · Advice on marketing and presenting your home;

· Start the marketing and advertising campaign;

· Negotiate services between you and your buyers; and

· Provide administration of all legal and financial requirements.

Now that you’re armed with this bevy of information you should be well on your way to choosing the agent that is right for you. And this week I will wish you all happy home selling. Until next time!

Submission support for negative gearing IN ITS pre-budget submission, the Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) has urged the government to retain negative gearing to encourage property investment and place downward pressure on rents. REIA CEO Amanda Lynch said negative gearing and the capital gains tax (CGT) feed the supply side pipeline at a time of chronic under supply in Australia. “Any alteration to the current arrangements would likely result in a need for a greater investment by the government in social housing and could potentially increase rents, as recognised by the Henry Tax Review in 2010, which states the current provisions placed downward pressure on rents,” she said. REIA’s pre-budget submissions include eight 18 NOOSA TODAY | Thursday, 12 February, 2015

recommendations, which they describe as contributing to Australia’s economic development and productivity, while attracting first home buyers into the market. Among the recommendations, is a suggestion conveyance stamp duty is abolished and replaced with a more efficient source of revenue for states and territories, as well as the establishment of a scheme to encourage young Australians to have access to their superannuation to raise a deposit for a first home. REIA also recommends a mechanism to ensure the availability of reliable data on housing demand and supply to assist in formulating effective policies, as well as better use of private investment to improve the supply of housing for social housing tenants transitioning to private rental.

Only six left – move quickly AVJENNINGS is preparing for its final land release at Noosa Heads’ premier residential address – Elysium Noosa – with just six home sites remaining in the current stage. The final 20 home sites, which will be known as the Pinnacle precinct, were released to the market at the beginning of February, and are expected to be met with strong demand. AVJennings is taking registrations of interest ahead of an exclusive red carpet sales event, where serious buyers who have paid their deposits will have the first opportunity to select their blocks, which range between 465 square metres and 792 square metres. State General Manager for Queensland, Rodney Chadwick urges buyers to move quickly - with more than 80 home sites sold at Elysium during 2014, the final lots are expected to be taken up quickly. “The Pinnacle precinct represents the final

opportunity for lifestyle buyers to become part of Noosa Heads’ benchmark residential community,“ he said. “Sales have been consistently strong over the past 12 months with buyers competing to snap up the increasingly scarce supply of land across Noosa, and with Elysium now on the countdown to sell-out we have no doubt these lots will sell rapidly.

at Elysium since this time last year, with lots averaging approximately $300,000. “The majority of recent sales have been made up of local buyers looking to upgrade their home and lifestyle while retaining the exclusivity of a Noosa Heads address,“ Mr Chadwick said.

“The iconic Noosa lifestyle is attainable, and well within reach for many families at Elysium which gives buyers the opportunity to be part of an exclusive established community at an achievable price.“

“Our customers see the value in building a new home that perfectly suits their lifestyle and budget, rather than purchasing an existing home in an older area that often is in need of renovation. Elysium gives customers the opportunity to build their own home that reflects their achievements and lifestyle in a location with resort-style facilities.“ The opportunity to secure a new home site in a sought-after destination like Noosa Heads is extremely rare, and with developable land in such short supply in Noosa Heads, Elysium is clearly a highly attractive investment.“

Predominantly local buyers have paid a total of more than $24 million for home sites

Mr Chadwick says the overall vision for Elysium Noosa since AVJennings acquired

“The tight supply of land in the region, combined with competitive pricing and a range of home sites available have all helped to boost sales at Elysium over the past year, however the key drawcard continues to be the lifestyle on offer.

the site in 2010, has been to create a community - not just a new development – which has proved to be one of the key selling points. “Elysium Noosa features hectares of parklands and the award-winning Rec Club which is located at the heart of the community,“ he said. “The Rec Club is a central space for residents and their guests to relax and unwind, while enjoying the state of the art amenities including a lap pool, tennis court, gymnasium, barbecues, an observation deck to take in lagoon views, resident lounge and mixed use fitness and leisure zones.“ To register your interest in the Pinnacle precinct visit www.elysiumnoosa.com.au.
