21.01.2022 Why every property listings need great photos and videos. Humans are visual people, and when the time comes to list your property for sale, great imagery and videos will make the difference between a good result and a great one. If you're in the market to ensure your home sells for an optimum price it Is well worth considering the value of getting professional photos done for your home as well as consider video and even drone footage for acreage or farm properties that could ...be viewed from the air. Here are the facts why your property listing needs great photos and videos: - Attractive and visual listing - Your buyers are visual people, and by showcasing your home in the best possible light, you are going to allow your property to stand out from the crowd and get noticed. - Great online presence - Most of the viewing of property listings these days happens online, so by having video and professional images you have the highest form of presentation for digital and tech-savvy potential buyers. - Showcases the features of the property adequately a professional videographer or photographer can see your property from a unique perspective and photograph based on what your potential buyers might be looking for. Whether it is a massive bathroom, beautiful styling in the kitchen or a huge sparkling pool, your property will look like a million dollars with images and video. - Editing can enhance the listing we all need a little touching up, and professional images do go through postproduction and editing which means that the images are going to be polished and colour corrected so that you have the best looking images available. - Capture the best parts of your home the photos and videos can work to ensure your property’s best assets are on show including views, local areas, schools, closets, indoor spaces, wide angles, inside storage and any unique features that might be difficult to capture on a standard camera. The presentation of a home and the way the home is presented before the potential buyers even walk through the door is essential. Don’t waste the opportunity for a successful sale by not investing in quality photography and videos, focus on getting more prospective buyers through the door with video and photography created by professionals.

21.01.2022 As we read various natural disasters like a hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean the information you need to know about protecting your home from a cyclone here in Australia as we approach the warmer months! All along the east coast of Australia, we are all in the line of fire of natural weather events such as a cyclone, and if we are not careful, we could be exposed to extreme danger from natural weather events. So how can you as a homeowner protect your home from a cyclone? The...re is a range of areas that you should ensure are ‘watertight’ when it comes to cyclones. Here are a few ideas for protecting your home from a cyclone: Doors: Your doors, especially those external should ALWAYS be secured with barrel bolts. The door is the gateway to your home, should cyclonic winds enter, it could shatter your home from the inside out. Windows: Shattering glass is a real issue in storms, not only for those seeking shelter in your home but for rescuers looking to get in and out of your potentially damaged home. By installing mesh screens, smash proof glass and even bolted shutters to reduce the potential for breakage you could help your home to become cyclone ready. Guttering and water tanks: Your downpipes, guttering, drains and tanks should not only be well secured but supported by footings that can withstand significant storm pressure. These are vital infrastructure not only for your wellbeing during the storm, but they can cause significant damage to other property should they be dislodged from your property. Trees and gardens: It should go without saying that in the ‘eye of the storm’ that you should ensure that your gardens are clear of debris, that your trees are trimmed, and any overhanging branches are cut by you or your local council to ensure they don’t fly off and become an issue for your or your neighbours. Regular maintenance and clearing of trees and garden waste can help to avoid storm damage. Waterproofing: There is a lot of ‘dodgy’ waterproofing jobs out there, some even on new builds. To protect your home, you can engage the services of a waterproofing specialist to check the waterproofing and seals around your property such as windows, doors and retaining walls. Watertight windows and seals are your last line of defence of some catastrophic events occurring in your home, and by ensuring your home is sealed, you can help to reduce any damage. We truly do live in the lucky country, but with that comes risks. These risks include nearly every natural element known so the key to protecting your home against cyclones is to be prepared. As well as taking steps to protect your home from cyclones it is also important to ensure you have adequate insurance coverage for your home and contents in the event of a natural weather event. Whether you are an owner-occupier or an investor, it’s important to ensure you are completely covered in the event of a serious weather event such as a cyclone.

13.01.2022 Heading into the summer season - what insurance should you get for your property this summer. Australian’s are used to bracing themselves for the summer season for wild weather and extreme storms. Several dangerous storms, floods and cyclones have hit different parts of Australia over the last couple of years leaving a path of destruction and devastating property loss. These extreme weather spells cost Australians billions of dollars’ worth of damage with hailstones and floo...ding causing most of the loss. The official storm season in Australia runs from October through to March although dangerous weather can happen any time of the year and can occur in any town, city or suburb. The summer storms in Australia are unpredictable and come and go quickly, but the effects of the storm can last years. Regardless of where you live in Australia, it is essential that you have the right storm insurance cover in place when a natural disaster hits. You could lose everything including your home and all your possessions, however, having enough cover for the cost of rebuilding your home and replacing its contents will give you some piece of mind. Storms are split into two categories by Australian insurers these are; thunderstorms and land gales. Thunderstorms are the most ferocious with hailstones, flash flooding, tornadoes, strong gusts of wind and lightning. While land gales refer to gale force wind over land. Understanding how your insurer defines a storm and what is covered in the policy will save you from a lot of stress if you do need to claim after a storm hits your property. Your insurance policy will state if natural disasters are covered as well. Storm cover is included in most home and contents insurance policies in Australia. However, you will need to do some research and check the fine print to see what is included because the coverage of natural disasters can vary vastly from one policy to the next. Flood cover is not always included in insurance policies. Therefore, it is also recommended that you are clear what type of insurance you are receiving. Homeowners can help reduce the risk of damage to their property by securing loose objects around the property, keeping gutters and downpipes clear and checking your roof for any holes or loose tiles that need repair or replacement. However, the essential thing a homeowner can do is to have the best storm insurance cover policy that they can count on. We at Glow Realty can assist you with all your real estate query- be it property management, investment properties or selling. Please feel to call us on 07 5529 1600.

01.01.2022 Simple ways to increase your borrowing power You’ve heard the story; you find a house you love, but your bank isn’t keen on lending you the money to buy the property, as you don’t the borrowing power to support the mortgage. What do you do if you want to increase your borrowing power so you can make your dream property purchase a reality?... There are a few simple tips to increasing your borrowing power and getting a green light from your bank. Reduce your credit This one is super simple, and many people don’t realise that by keeping credit cards open you could be contributing to being knocked back by the banks. Close all of the credit cards you have or reduce their limits as low as you possibly can and you could increase your borrowing capacity considerably. Not only will the potential to spend be reduced you will also be able to save on annual fees too. Make sure your credit history is squeaky clean Often if you have a bad credit rating you will find it difficult to borrow finances for a mortgage or general loan so check out your credit rating on Veda (which is now called Equifax) and make steps to clear any black marks on your listing to ensure that in the eyes of financial institutions you are a positive candidate for a loan. Reduce your living expenses If you have ever applied for a home loan or any finance you will need to fill in your living expenses in the application process. Calculate your living expenses and figure out if there is something you can save on to improve your borrowing capacity. By doing this not only can you lower your monthly expenses but you could wind up being able to afford the dream property you’ve always wanted. Focus on savings When you think about it, if you don’t have savings you aren’t going to look like a fantastic candidate for a loan. If you can, work hard to save some cash in an account so that your bank or financial institution can see that you have the ability to save and you have some savings should you ever need it. Savings shows that you can manage your finances and you aren’t living week to week, which means there is less likelihood that you will default your loan. There are plenty more ways to increase your borrowing power, however, by starting with these basic tips you could be on your way to starting afresh with your finances and making a positive difference to your hip pocket.
