25.01.2022 Hot Off The Press - 56 Dobell Drive, Wangi Wangi has sold. Couldn't wait to share the owners comments.... Selling a property is just part of the job - no big deal there. That's exactly what the client is expecting you to do But the manner in which you do it, and the final result can make a lasting impression.

22.01.2022 Do you know those fancy Day In The Life Of An Agent vlogs. Cruising between appointments, seeing nice houses, closing a deal every hour. Today was not one of those days. In fact, it never is. I’m a super organised person. But like most parents know, you can’t plan in detail. It’s more about being flexible Monday 7th December goes like this........ - 4 year old son too sick for daycare. So I manage morning calls and preparing a new listing with 5 minute interruptions for wip...ing a runny nose - Turn up 30 min early for a video shoot of new listing (see, super organised) to find the lawn mowing the owner organised hasn’t been done. So, I race to the local Kennards Hire for a lawn mower, and frantically get the mowing done myself so it looks top notch for marketing - 2 hour on-site create a hungry little boy. It is now 3.15pm, So a stop at Maccas, while Daddy pulls out the iPad to knock out more work I wonder what Tuesday brings! Oh by the way cracking little 2 bed + study home coming up for sale at Lambton on a level 463sqm block. Message me if you would like some details

21.01.2022 Stop The Press Behind this door is a renovated 4 bed, 2 bath, 1.5 car garage on a level corner block in Carey Bay For early access to all the details, send me a DM

21.01.2022 Settlement Day for this home today. Owners moved out and waiting for the new owner to arrive. When I sell a home when the owners have lived here for 50 years (or more) I always wonder what the feeling is like for them closing the door for the last time. Walking through an empty house right now room by room I start to imagine the memories created within these walls. Have you had a similar experience? Perhaps the home you grew up in where your parents were there for most of their lives. How did you feel? Would love to hear about it in the comments

21.01.2022 Got him outside safely but he hasn’t flinched. Still a bit of shock I think

20.01.2022 Train them young. In 18 months he will be in Kindergarten and dinner will be ready when Mum & Dad get home

18.01.2022 Cash has some respectful advice for procrastinating buyers

17.01.2022 My Latest Blog Article. How often to do come out with more items from the supermarket than you intended? Just like quality brands can throw themselves at you from the shelves through presentation and positioning, so too can you position your property for sale to find un-intended buyers. Read the article in the link below https://bit.ly/30J8wKg

17.01.2022 When preparing a home for sale, the big ticket items tend to take up an owners headspace. It is really important not to let the simple things pass by. One of the easiest is a pressure clean. A must for every home. The paths and driveway create the first feel a prospective buyer has of your home. Yesterday we arranged a professional hot water pressure clean for this home at Lambton before today’s 1st open house

15.01.2022 Weekly Snapshot The Agency East Coast team recorded an 82% auction clearance rate over the weekend, including a mid week in-room auction night for our Illawarra team selling 8/9 under the hammer.

09.01.2022 When the owners moved here, they were drawn in by the lifestyle on the water that it offered there young & active family.

08.01.2022 I sat in today on a webinar from realestate.com.au as they launched their 1st Insights Regional Australia Report. A lot of fascinating material, including the 2 images I have attached showing factors where Newcastle & Lake Macquarie are in the Top 10 nationally

08.01.2022 Here we go again..... Sunday morning opens We had 28 groups through on Sat after less than 24 hours online. We are doing Sunday opens to give buyers every opportunity to see the home or come back for 2nd inspections in a very competitive market.

07.01.2022 Last stop of the day. A quick run of the sprinkler on the new lawn ready to launch this new listing next week. Opposite Pebbly Beach Wangi Wangi

06.01.2022 Came inside to lock up after the open house to find this visitor admiring the view not wanting to leave at 56 Dobell Drive, Wangi Wangi - https://bit.ly/56dobell

06.01.2022 Buyers.... I beg you. Take them all. Don’t leave me alone with them

05.01.2022 What the hell is this picture. If there was ever a case why professional photographers are needed in real estate, this would be it. And no, I am not bagging another agent - because I took this photo I am currently preparing an appraisal for some clients I sold this home to in 2005. And this pops up on RP Data. At the time most agents in Newcastle took their own photos. And there would have been a lot of this crap (not just from me). My 1st sales manager Adam Rawlings would mock me when photos came back. But I tried. Thank heavens I am now in the capable hands of Bill Delaney

04.01.2022 Lots of things to love about daylight savings. One of them is 6.30pm inspections in sunlight for busy buyers. Don’t think anyone is missing the sign when they drive by

04.01.2022 Another review from a long term relationship that goes back 16 years. 2004 - Sold the owners mother/mother-in laws home at Speers Point 2011 - Sold the owners son and daughter-in-law's home at Bolton Point 2020 - Sold their own home in Bolton Point... In it for the long haul

04.01.2022 #Flashbackfriday to my very 1st property video 11 years ago (Nov 2008). There were not many property video at all in Newcastle & Lake Macquarie at the time, nor anyone around to film them. For this one I had to have a crew drive up from Sydney. Amongst the GFC, this home had been on the market with another agent for 226 days. We sold it in 52 days with triple the amount of inspections. And personally its nice to look back on a full head of hair

03.01.2022 Spreading the word about my new listing at 56 Dobell Drive, Wangi Wangi. This photo is part of our team from Central Coast to Newcastle. The Agency is not separate, isolated offices like a typical franchise. We are 1 team. A shared database and personal networks. But some things can get lost in a computer. So what better way to be top of mind when they meet a buyer at an open house or an inspection who might be looking across our respective marketplaces than to personally walk them through the home. This team is a collection of some of the best talent (and nicest people in the industry). And of course some coffee and morning tea at The Deck Cafe`.

03.01.2022 Time to open that red door and take a peak inside 1 Angela Close, Carey Bay See more details here https://bit.ly/36AGEdj

02.01.2022 Can you help us find a block of land around Rathmines for a client

01.01.2022 Facing financial difficulty is one of the hardest confrontations you can have in life. If you have your mortage payments on hold now, and you are still un-certain about when you will have the ability to pick up your new payments again, then preparation is key. I can provide you with a confidential plan on what your home is worth, a timeline, and what steps to have in place should you need to sell your home. Don't leave it until the last minute I honestly hope you do not hav...e to sell against your will, but if you have to, be sure you protect your future financial outcomes by being informed. You can even book your appointment with my online booking system here https://bit.ly/BJTbooking Or call me for advice on 0401 862 828 https://www.smh.com.au//struggling-borrowers-will-need-to-
