24.01.2022 Good Question! It’s important to understand the PRICE of your home is determined by.... BUYERS And, not by...... What it owes you What you want What you need A Valuer Your Bank Manager 10 x Real Estate Agents Definitely NOT by.. The Internet Absolutely NOT by... Your sister’s best friend’s husband’s cousin ..who used it be in real estate. GOOD NEWS Often everything works out, the stars align and you do actually get exactly what you need/want! Because, the BUYER decided it was worth it! HOW DO WE WORK IT OUT? We use SALES (+ Listed properties aka competition) within the last 5-6 months in a 1km radius (wider for rural) to assess what Buyers have paid for similar properties...providing an ESTIMATED price guide. It’s not an exact science. Because, BUYERS DETERMINE PRICE! You’ll know what your home is truly worth when you take it to the Buyers! P.S If an agent says, I can get you XYZ easily!when there’s NO supporting sales for a similar home (be honest with yourself here) .... Move on! They’re Buying your Listing! P.P.S Want an honest estimation on what your home is worth? Call me on 0400 018 849 Amy xx #toowoombarealestate #theVERYrealestateagent #toowoombabusiness

Congratulations to my wonderful Sellers and Buyers, another great family joining my neighbourhood! Ps I apologise in advance to all my OCD followers for the off-centre Signboard! #realestatematchmaker #toowoombarealestate #theveryrealestateagent

19.01.2022 Random little acts of appreciation or kindness really make the blows of hard days or set backs that little bit softer. Was touched to receive this gift with a little note attached today, from a Buyer who missed out on their dream home after my Vendor made the tough decision to withdraw from market (sadly, reality didn’t match their expectations). We’d been negotiating for 3 weeks, back and forth, but instead of becoming angry and taking their frustrations out on me, they drop...ped off some chocolates??! Wow... such grace! Thank you! #lovemyjob #itsnotallrosesandsunshine #toowoombabusiness #toowoombarealestate

18.01.2022 UNDER CONTRACT in 2 Weeks First Home Buyers still out in force, which means these ones don’t last long at all, if priced right. There’s not a lot of stock on and it’s holding, if not pushing, prices up.... We’re in Peak Selling Season (Oct-Feb)... if you’re on the fence about selling, my advice is Go for it! Would like some honest advise about your home? Give me a call on 0400 018 849

14.01.2022 HOW’S THE MARKET? Honestly...it’s pretty darn good! 4-Week Overview 5 Listed Properties ... 28 inspections 15 Offers 3 Accepted 1 Offer Pending 1 Withdrawn Property 4 Upcoming Listings My Opinion Are Prices Falling? NO! They are the same, in some cases better than pre-COVID-19 Are Buyer’s making low-ball offers? YES! Some buyers are keen to take advantage of the uncertainty and are trying to get a better deal. Good luck to them if they can, but there are still plenty of those WILLING and ABLE to pay MARKET PRICE. Why did your client withdraw from market? Expectations. While the market hasn’t dropped, some Sellers still have goals they’d like to reach. Unfortunately, sometimes what Buyers are willing to pay doesn’t match what we NEED or WANT and my Sellers have the choice to Hold ‘em or Fold ‘em! WORD of the Month: Perseverance Don’t give up before the MAGIC happens!

11.01.2022 Selling your home isn’t always easy. It can be stressful, downright exhausting & sometimes disappointing if the price isn’t what you hoped. I’m here to make things easier, to guide you through it...trust me, trust the process. Blessed to work with so many lovely people, all just trying their best to begin their next chapter. One that’s a little bit better than the last. ... And, to be honest, not one client I’ve ever worked with regrets the outcome of their sale #lovemyjob #realestatematchmaker #toowoombarealestate #surrendertotheprocess

07.01.2022 CONGRATS BOYS Just hitting their 20’s and buying their first homes! Love these sales so much, seeing young people investing in their future is so inspiring (I sure wish I had done it).... Good luck boys, here’s to creating a wonderful life and to both my lovely sellers who had lived and loved these properties for 30+ and 60+ years, respectively. #newbeginnings #realestatematchmaker #toowoombarealestate #theveryrealestateagent

07.01.2022 Today is Thursday. 4 or 5 days since the Open Home.... Haven’t heard boo from the Buyers that came through? I’ve got a hot tip for you... Selling homes is just like Dating.... If they ain’t calling you after 3 days, they ain’t interested. Move on...NEXT! Your agent shouldn’t have to chase Buyers. When the Buyer is keen they will find a way to get through the property! They will chase us! When the Buyer falls in love they will be busting to make that offer! They will chase us! We are not desperate!! We don’t want to try to force someone to love us! If we look great, smell fine and know our worth! They will chase us! Sure, let your agent get feedback on presentation, we’re open to constructive feedback, and value (but just like dating, some will see your worth and others won’t) Ps. There’s always an exception to every rule, but if they aren’t chasing you, let them go, they don’t deserve you They aren’t meant for you! #realestatematchmaker #theVERYrealestateagent #toowoombarealestate #toowoombabusiness #byefelicia

05.01.2022 ... IT’S THE KEY TO EVERYTHING Take 5 minutes today to start clearing & cleaning either a space or a general overall overhaul. Just 5 Minutes.... That’s all it’ll take to shift the energy. Hold your item, ask yourself, Does it spark joy in me?(thanks Marie Kondo), if it doesn’t...donate or ditch. Be RUTHLESS! NOT SELLING? Feeling blah, stuck, unmotivated? Clear a space. Kitchen Benchtop or Table? Bathroom counter? Make the beds? Office Nook? The Car? Fast and Furious 5 minutes - Go! SELLING? Feeling overwhelmed by preparing to sell? Start Decluttering. Once the space starts to clear it will do 3 things: 1) Clear your Head - Make you feel organised, in control of the process and Calmer to make good decisions 2) Improve Value Open, clean spaces sell homes. The Better the Presentation, the Better the Price. Your agent will love you for it. And, so will your new life! 3) Attract a Sale Basic Law of Attraction! You will be making space for the New Owner. Feeling frustrated because you haven’t Sold yet? Declutter some more. Sometimes the flow of the Sale feels BLOCKED. Get it moving by packing things you don’t need in preparation for your new life. Get rid of more stuff you don’t love! Or, get active! Mow the lawn, rake the garden beds, water the garden, clean something- the stuff that we all hate or procrastinate cleaning like the light fittings, oven, shower, grout, windows. Buyers will notice, Offers will come and it’s one less thing you have to do before Settlement. Feeling nervous and lost between Under Contract and Unconditional? KEEP DECLUTTERING! This is the time to really step things up. Be so ruthless, it scares you! Everything you don’t want coming into your new life, get rid of it NOW! If the contract falls over, you have decluttered your life, improved PRESENTATION and created SPACE for the next offer. If Settlement is around the corner, your exhausted future self will love you for it! Create space for your NEW LIFE! P.S Need motivation or tips on where to start, DM me and I’ll start you on the right track. P.P.S Skimmed all these great tips..that’s cool...now get off your butt and declutter something Happy Sunday x #just5minutes #youwillthankme #ipromise #declutteryourlife #toowoombarealestate #theVERYrealestateagent #realestatematchmaker

02.01.2022 Thank you. Today, I’m reflecting on how blessed I’ve been to work with so many lovely, generous and respectful clients. Selling and Buying a Home is not always easy, often it’s a result of a challenging life event, so there’s an undercurrent of sadness, stress or fear. ... Despite this, you allow me into your home and life, disrupting your space and lifestyle, sharing the ride on the real estate roller coaster, all the while staying kind, patient and keeping your sense of humour. Thank you. I’m so grateful to you. I hope I make the end of this chapter as gentle, smooth and enjoyable as possible xx

02.01.2022 What can you expect when you work with me? I'm a Boutique Property Agent. That means I offer superior customer service and specialised, individually-tailored marketing for a smaller number of clients. The hallmark of the boutique agent is a focus on quality over quantity. I'm passionate about outstanding attention to detail. Because I work with fewer clients I have the time to create marketing campaigns with the power to capture attention, like writing engaging property descr...iptions that will attract both left and right brained buyers. Teamed with beautiful professional photographs, I market properties, whether they're $200,000 or $2,000,000, in a stellar way without breaking your budget. Anyone can market and sell your home, but I offer more; I offer my clients a 5-Star experience. I'm driven to meet your needs and expectations, that means taking the time to listen to your story, your hopes and fears. I'm genuinely interested in you and your home, not just the commission. Constant communication and open, honest conversations build trust and that leads to a successful property sale. I’m from Goondiwindi so I’m a country girl, I've also spent years living in Brisbane, making Toowoomba the perfect spot for us. My background in Community Services and Natural Health shines through with my passion to help people, be real, build good relationships, work hard to get brilliant results and earn respect. I'm ideal for people looking for 5-Star personalised service, who want their home in the hands of the experienced agent, not their PA. Give me a call on 0400 018 849 and we can chat about your future plans and how we can make them a reality. Cheers, Amy

This sale has marked a professional milestone for me too, as it’s my first multi-million dollar sale and I’m taking the time to savour the moment.
