24.01.2022 IS IT WORTH STAGING MY HOME FOR SALE? There are factors that are out of your control like market conditions and location. But you do have total control over the condition and presentation of the property. Using home staging principles ensures that you have given yourself the best possible chance of achieving the highest possible sale price at the shortest possible time. The process of preparing and presenting your home for sale is referred to as home styling or staging. It ...involves the elements of maintenance and styling to present your property at its best before it goes to the market and to ensure that it appeals to the widest possible range of buyers. Furniture staging is the placement of new and modern furniture which has been carefully selected to suit the space of the room and appeal to the ideal buyer. Property styling is not about interior design or full scale renovating for wealth or house flipping. Its all about ROI. RECENT STATISTICS ABOUT HOME STAGING IN AUSTRALIA (2015) the average investment in home staging was between 0.4 0.75% of the estimated property value ($3000 for a $600,000 house) a staged property yields an average increase in sale price of 10% with a reported maximum increase of 15%. on average, every $1 invested in property staging returns $15 home staging makes your property stand out on the internet home staging provides buyers a snapshot of the lifestyle that a property offers home staging can create new ideas or purposes for areas that appeals to an ideal Buyer but not used by the Vendor only 5% of people are able to visualise what to do with space people spend more time viewing staged homes a staged property projects an image of a well-maintained property good agents enjoy selling a well-staged property and sells on average within 4-6 weeks a good home-stager will work with your real estate agent to identify your target market closing the divide between right and left (male & female perceptions) If you are thinking of selling your home and know that you could benefit with some repairs and styling to improve the appearance of your home, then please call me for a chat on 0417460692 on how I can help you prepare your home for sale

23.01.2022 I live interstate and cant inspect a property I would like to buy. Who can help me? When youre a buyer and live interstate or simply dont have the time, ability or knowledge on what to look out for when buying, its important you have a team of professionals you can trust. This includes a great solicitor, mortgage broker or lending manager and someone to act as your buyers agent.... Buyers agents are becoming more popular to use in Australia, but its not always a case you get what you pay for. Many will charge a set fee of about 1.5-2% to view only a limited selection of properties, even if you found a property youre interested in yourself. So its best you find an agent who will tailor their fees around your needs. If you need full services including searching for suitable properties, then choose an agent who understands for financial and personal goals. But if you have a sound understanding of the type of property you want to buy and likely you have already searched realestate.com.au for one you want, then an agent who will charge based on each inspection is needed. Other buyers may have found the perfect property but are insecure about negotiating terms. Before spending money, find the agent that will work with your needs. I act as a buyers agent with limited services. This includes - * inspecting property you interested to view * condition report including suggestions on any renovations needed and budget estimates * additional photos and video as required that may not be seen in marketing photos * negotiation of best and lowest purchase price and conditions to suit your needs * renovation of your property prior to moving in / tenancy For a small investment, a good buyers agent can save you thousands of dollars in buying at a better price, avoid costly mistakes and negotiate on terms you may never have considered. As a highly experienced and effective negotiator, I will always act in your best interests. Sometimes, good contacts with agents mean free service to you. If you would like to discuss how I can help you buy your next property on the Gold Coast, please call me on 0417460692

20.01.2022 Good morning hump day everyone! I just wanted to introduce you to some upcoming regular additions to this page including Wednesday Wisdom. Wednesday Wisdom will be an informative weekly discussion about an important topic relating to the buying and selling of real estate. Its an opportunity for you to maybe learn something new or a reminder of ideas you should consider when thinking of buying or selling your property. As I work on these ideas, I would love your feedback on questions you would like answered about real estate or some personal experiences you have had and their outcomes, which could be helpful to others from making the same mistake themselves. How can I help you?

19.01.2022 I DON’T KNOW IF I SHOULD SELL MY PROPERTY. WHAT CAN I DO? There comes a time in life when you may need to consider selling your property. But isn’t the rule, never sell?? That would be ideal to live in one property and stay there until the end of our days. Some do. But sometimes, our circumstances in life change. We get married or divorce. We have kids. Sometime one and sometimes many! Your financial position might change. Maybe you need to change location. Whatever the reaso...ns for you to upsize, downsize or sell completely, you need to be clear on your WHY. Why do you want or need to sell? I have personally sold 7 of the 9 properties I have purchased in the last 18 years. So there were certainly reasons to sell, whether they were our homes or investment properties. I have also chosen to hold. With good reason. As a real estate agent I would love you to sell your home with me. But it would not be ethically correct for me to do so if you were uncertain with that decision. As a property investor, I also have a team of services like brokers, conveyancers, investment companies and more, who can assist you with options. What if you didn’t have to sell your home, but could refinance the equity you have created in it and buy another property to call home and keep the current property as an investment for your future? How could that improve not only your ability to move forward in your life but also build a nest egg for retirement? I can’t make these decisions for you, but I can work with you to find the answers. From there, you can either decide to sell, or I can help connect you to the services you need and find you a new home. The true gift of a good real estate agent is their ability to refer and network. If you decide to sell, pick an agent who will support and guide you in making the right choices based on your needs, buyers wants, the current market and skills to negotiate best outcome at that time. If you’re thinking of selling or know someone who is, please reach out to have a chat on how I can help guide you. Contact Anita Oze on 0417 460 692 or [email protected]

19.01.2022 Are you thinking of Renovating to Sell? Here are 5 quick questions to ask yourself whether to first. 1. Do you need to renovate? Spend too much money (or not enough), renovate the wrong areas or replace what is not going to bring you more return on investment are some factors to consider on whether you should renovate before selling. Its best to consult with local experts such as real estate agents, builders and property stylists whether you can achieve a positive return o...n investment. For example, if the property is essentially a knockdown, you wouldnt spend money on renovating. 2. Who is your ideal buyer? When doing a renovation, you want to appeal to your ideal buyer. Do they need a large living entertaining area? Or more bedrooms and bathrooms? The changes you make and the staging should be targeted to that buyer. An emotionally invested buyer will pay more for your property. 3. What is your budget? Its unlikely you would renovate the whole home. But small noticeable changes, can create more buyer appeal and potentially gain a higher price. In most instances, properties are greatly improved with simple and affordable updates like new paint, flooring, lighting, blinds, cleaning and tidy garden 4. Can you project manage trades yourself or need help? Most home owners do not have the time, ability or knowledge of where to start when renovating. So start with some sound advice from experts. If you cant manage the work on your own, engage the services of an interior designer or builder to manage the work for you. Who you use and the cost, will depend on the amount of work required. 5. How can I make my home stand out? You want your property to have that wow factor to impress buyers. Time to consult with a stylist. The can advise about decluttering and styling with the furniture you have to work with, when you need to remain living in the home whilst selling. Otherwise investing in furniture staging is, in most instances, hugely beneficial in achieving the highest price on your property. Match this with quality photos and marketing which has your property appearing on page one of all the property listing sites, will give you the best possible chance of selling at the highest price and outcomes that suit your needs. As a qualified interior designer and experienced renovator myself, my purpose is to assist home owners to make the process of selling their home as stress free as possible whilst selling at the highest possible price. I do this by offering an all inclusive service, helping you to prepare, present, promote and sell your property. If you need answers to any of the questions above or ideas about preparing your home for sale, then please call Anita Oze 0417 460 692 or email [email protected] for a chat.

18.01.2022 I want to buy a property but dont have the confidence to buy as I had a previous bad experience with a real estate agent. But I cant afford a buyers agent. How can you help me? Buying real estate can be a stressful and intimidating experience even for an experienced buyer. Whats important is having a good team of trades and services available to help, support and guide you into making informed decisions. This includes - *agent acting on your behalf *finance broker or len...der *conveyancer or solicitor *build & pest inspectors and many other trades. As an agent I can represent you in negotiations to achieve a great purchase price and conditions that best suit you needs. Successful contracts come from finding win/win solutions to both yourself and the vendor. With the right connections as an agent, this service in most instances can be provided for free (as a conjunction with the selling agent). But please note not all selling agents will conjunct. If not, then an affordable agreement can be made to cater for your needs. I also can assist by advising what likely repairs or cosmetic renovations may cost so you can consider that into you budget. I also have contacts for building a new home, on land in your desired location. For a small investment when buying a property, it could potentially save you thousands of dollars in overpaying, poor terms and conditions, loss of time and being unnecessarily being taken advantage of. Dont forget too, if buying an investment property, any services you pay for can be claimed against any capital gains or losses that may be incurred. If you would like to know more about what options there are get help as a buyer, please call me on 0417460692 to discuss.

18.01.2022 Marketing Costs for Real Estate in Queensland Marketing fees can vary significantly and be negotiated with your real estate agent. Depending on which marketing source your real estate agent recommends for your selling campaign, your marketing costs will vary. Ask your agent for a breakdown of marketing costs before you sign them on and if they have any special packages. Select marketing that is appropriate to your property, budget and needs. More in doesn't always give the be...st result, if you don't have the right price and presentation to start with. Some Queensland real estate agents include marketing fees within their commission and other agents will charge marketing fees in addition. Be aware that marketing fees within their commission, usually results in a higher commission percentage or includes only standard marketing. What’s included in marketing costs? 1. Property listings on real estate websites 2. A sign board for your property 3. Professional photography and videography 4. Flyer and brochure creation for open for inspections 5. Social media amplification of your property listing 6. Listings in local print publications such as newspapers and magazines How much are real estate agent marketing fees in the Gold Coast? Marketing fees can vary between $500 and $3000. It is suggested you allow 0.5%-1% of your property value in marketing fees. Auctioneer fees This is for the services of the auctioneer on auction day. An auctioneer fee generally is around the $600 dollar mark in Queensland. Styling and Staging fees Home styling and staging is the process of preparing your home for photography and inspections. It may involve simple styling tips, all the way through to furnishing (staging) your home for the duration of the selling campaign. A good real estate agent will either be able to give you staging advice themselves, generally as a part of their commission, or may connect you with professional home stagers in your area. Styling advice can start from as low as $100, through to staging which requires an investment of an average of $2000-$5000. So if you're thinking of selling but are on a tight budget, that's ok.

18.01.2022 Each quarter CommSec bring out a report that analyses eight key indicators: economic growth; retail spending; equipment investment; unemployment; construction work done; population growth; housing finance and dwelling commencements. For the first time since October 2009, Tasmania holds the mantle of the best performing economy in its own right.... Three months ago Tasmania shared top spot with Victoria. The ACT remains in third spot from NSW but both economies have lost ground on the top two. Queensland is back in fifth spot from South Australia. Then follows Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Whilst Tasmania has seen nearly 3 years of consistently higher property prices, new construction and affordability is evident the market still has more room to grow and this is supported by an average under 40 days on market for a 3 bedroom house in the greater Hobart region and sound employment opportunities. Queensland as a whole is still not showing signs to date of top growth except in the areas of population and retail spending. What does this mean? With the right government infrastructure spending and employment growth in future, together with the current low housing finance commitments (lower mortgages), further retail spending will boost the economy, supporting employment growth and consequently boost property prices. What does that mean for you? It means times are changing and the focus is no longer on growth in the big two states of NSW and Victoria, but rather the other States are stealing the limelight due to affordability, population and economic growth. If you are thinking of buying property in either the Gold Coast or in other States, then please have a chat with me on 0417 460 692. If I cant help you myself, I can help you get connected to good agents in other areas, including Hobart (where I grew up and my family still reside). https://www.commsec.com.au//CommSec_State_of_the_States_Ju

17.01.2022 CAN I STYLE MY OWN PROPERTY FOR SALE OR DO I NEED A PROFESSIONAL? Selling your home can be an overwhelming and emotional process for some people, especially when selling under stressful circumstances. It is also challenging when you have been living in a home for many years and got so comfortable with the layout and colours the way you like, that it is difficult to "see beyond what is" and what buyers will like. So even if you have a great flair for design and colour and you ...could quite potentially buy furniture and accessories to add some pizzaz to your home, I would highly suggest getting some feedback from professional stylists on what they recommend you should do with each area. Just one idea, could make a big difference and is a refection on what your "average buyer" may be attracted to. I know personally when I had to sell my home due to separation, I struggled to make clear decisions, even though as an interior designer, staging and cosmetic renovations is what I do as a job. I engaged the services of other stylists for a consultation and this gave me far more confidence to be able to buy what was needed and present the home beautifully on a budget. As we were living in the home with kids and a dog, we couldn't hire furniture. Buying some accessories like cushions, plants and art doesn't cost much but can make a phenominal difference with bursts of colour. It also distracts buyers from furniture that could look a little worn. The secret to to successful staging is to make the biggest impact on the lowest budget. If you need to move out of the property prior to selling, then I highly suggest you invest in furniture staging hire. Remember 95% of buyers can see only what's in front of them and only 5% can imagine what the home could look like. If you need help to renovate, style or stage your home prior to selling, then please do not hesitate to call me. Even if you don't choose to sell your home with me, I offer a 1 hour Home Vision Consultation for only $99.00 (inc GST) where I make suggestions on decluttering, paint colours, what to remove, what to add and approximate budget to work within. Of course, I add this service for free if you list your property for sale with me. Please call me on 0417460692 to book

15.01.2022 I WANT TO BUY A PROPERTY. HOW DO I KNOW WHAT I AM BUYING? Buying a property is one of the biggest investments you will make in your life with your hard earned money. This is why, it is important that you have a great team of professions that you trust. This includes your solicitor or conveyancer. Your conveyancer will advise you of the list of many searches available for you to do and this will also depend on whether you are buying a house or a unit. One of the important tas...ks they do when buying a property is a Title search to ensure the people who are selling are the people as stated on the Title. You should also search for Building Plan applications and approvals for any additions done to the home like carports, sheds, pools etc. Your conveyancer should also do a Survey Plan search, which shows your Lot number and the Lot numbers in your area. Lot and Plan (RP) numbers are numbers used by government authorities. They are different to your street address. You can find your Lot and Plan numbers on a copy of the Rates Notice. These survey plans will indicate the size of the Lot for example 637m2 and will indicate an estimated line where the boundaries (fence lines) should be. But they do not indicate them with precision. Nor does a view on Google Earth. In order to establish the correct boundary lines on your property, a Boundary Identification Survey must be done by a certified surveyor. This assessment can cost $2500-$3500 depending if you require one boundary marked or all four. There are also search fees involved, notification to neighbours for any encroachments and lodge the new plans to the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy for survey records. The reasons you may need a Boundary Identification Boundary survey done include No fence, established falling fence or misaligned fence Own physical measurements are not consistent with your plan (eg should be 15m wise not 14.7m between fence lines) A subdivision of the land is intended Knockdown old and build new house It is important as a Vendor to understand the boundaries of your property, to ensure neighbours do not encroach on your property or you position a new fence in an incorrect position. This can leave you open to litigation in the Tribunal or Courts. As when it comes time to sell, should any discrepancies by found by a potential Buyer, the Contract of Sale could fall through. Or diminish the value of your land, as the Buyer is not purchasing what is stated on the Title. This is why due diligence is required on the part of both Buyer and Vendor in each transaction of sale. If you are thinking of selling or buying a property and would like information, please contact Anita Oze on 0417 460 692 to discuss what is needed to suit your needs.

12.01.2022 As a home owner we all have different standards of living. It may come as a surprise, many are hoarders and live in homes that look similar to this photo - and they believe its ok.

03.01.2022 WHY SELLING YOUR HOME OVER CHRISTMAS CAN BE GOOD The most popular time of year to sell your home is Spring and then Summer. So after the busy months of Spring, with sellers putting their home on the market and then sold, there are still a lot of buyers still on the look out for their new home. This is further evidenced by the demand of interstate buyers looking to relocate to South East Queensland post Covid this year. So this is the perfect opportunity to market your proper...ty to buyers now. When most people are relaxing and taking time off for a much needed holiday, serious buyers are still out there looking for their new home. Especially those who already sold in Spring and are settling soon. Buying a house is usually the last thing on most people’s mind at this time. So it’s the perfect time to not be dealing with time wasters, but rather serious buyers. Because there are less properties on the market over Christmas, you are likely to attract a higher purchase price from those serious buyers needing to buy before the new year, especially before the new school term for families. More demand from buyers means an opportunity for a bidding war and your skilled agent negotiating the best price and terms for your needs moving forward, means more money for you. Of course, the fact that your home is already looking beautiful with Christmas decorations and clean and tidy for visitors, will make your home even more appealing to buyers who can imagine spending their next Christmas in your property. There are so many other natural aesthetics of Summer that help your property look at its best like the flowers in full bloom, the glistening swimming pool, outdoor entertaining area, rooms bathed in lots of sunlight and the coolness of the air conditioning. Appealing to the buyers senses and desires, is what drives the price up on any property. Use this time to your advantage. If you haven’t got your property on the market yet, unfortunately it’s too late to have it put on the market now over Christmas as the photographers, printers etc are all on holidays, as may your agent be. But if your property looks good, is priced well and marketed right in the first 4 weeks it is listed, your property will sell, no matter the time of year. Why not get it ready to market in January? If you’re wanting to sell your property, give me a call on 0417460692 about how to get your property looking good this Summer and appeal to buyers.

01.01.2022 WHATS THE VENDORS ROLE IN SELLING? Do you want to sell your home for the highest price and in the shortest time? Well who doesnt! But are you the Vendor, prepared to do the work required to achieve that? Selling real estate is a two way effort. In order to sell the house, thats when you the vendor need to also do your part. What are you giving your sales agent to sell? A neat, presentable and well maintained home? Or a dirty, messy, poorly maintained home? Is it your home ...that your living in together with the kids and pets? An investment property which has tenants that arent happy to move? Or maybe a property that is sitting vacant with no life in it. Bare, empty and the buyer cant see beyond the four walls in front of them. When you are ready to sell, you need to be an invested person wanting to sell. Make an effort to tidy and clean, spend a bit in marketing to ensure you get people in the door to at least look at your place. Dont over price the property with the attitude if it sells great, if it doesnt no problem. Is that a fair way to play the game of buying and selling real estate? The agents time is free until they sell. So they want to make a sale as much as you do, if not more. When it comes time to buy, you will be buying into the same market. So remember when you want to sell high, you will be buying high too. What you give is what you get. So if you give your agent a hard time, its likely they arent going to work hard for you because you dont appreciate their efforts. But if you are kind, open and set the intention that you want to sell and will contribute in any way to get the job done, then there is a good chance of a successful outcome. The hard part in this is, who is the perfect sales agent for the perfect vendor? We are all different and have different needs. Not all sales agents are created equal and not all of them are good (or bad). So ask around, have conversations with your prospective agent. Do you trust them? They may be a veteran in the industry or they could be a newbie whos keen to show you everything they have learned to date if you give them a go. You decide. Listen to your gut feel. Not the numbers, not the endless statistics and bragging about the agency they work for. Are you the perfect match to work together with your chosen agent and create a happier, healthier and wealthier future? If youre ready to sell and invested in achieving the best price for your home, then give me a call on 0417 460 692 to discuss how we can work together.
