25.01.2022 Excited to be opening this stunner this evening from 5.30-6pm. Drop in and say hi. 77 Callum St, Mooroobool. Priced Mid $700,000's.

25.01.2022 With interest rates at record lows and rents sky rocketing in Cairns it is no wonder we are seeing investors entering back into the market.

24.01.2022 Markets alive and well in Cairns. Deals galore.

23.01.2022 $79,000! Just $79,000, less than the price of a new @ford Raptor and you could own this great studio unit with its own private courtyard in a small complex of just 8 units including a swimming pool. Message me for more details.

23.01.2022 Minding my own business out letterbox dropping today when a wasp flew out of nowhere and viciously attacked me. Lucky to be alive I tell you. #waspattack

22.01.2022 Accidentally walked into the mirrored reflection of a photo at today's photo shoot. Good news thou- can confirm I am not a vampire In other news wait till you see this stunning Queenslander we are bringing to market next week. Priced at "Mid $300's" it's sure to impress. #notavampire

22.01.2022 Simply love this little extract from Seth Godin (marketing guru): No one ever bought anything on an elevator. The elevator pitch isn’t about selling your idea, because a metaphorical elevator is a lousy place to make a pitch. When you feel like you’re being judged and only have a minute to make a first impression, it’s tempting to try to explain the truth and nuance of who you are, what you’ve done and what you’re going to do in the time it takes to travel a few floors.... That rarely works. The alternative is the elevator question, not the elevator pitch. To begin a conversationnot about you, but about the person you’re hoping to connect with. If you know who they are and what they want, it’s a lot more likely you can figure out if they’re a good fit for who you are and what you want. And you can take the opportunity to help them find what they need, especially if it’s not from you. Too often, we feel rejected when in fact, all that’s happened is a mismatch of needs, narratives and what’s on offer. Instead of looking at everyone as someone who could fund you or buy from you or hire you, it might help to imagine that almost no one can do those things, but there are plenty of people you might be able to help in some other way, even if it’s only to respect them enough to not make a pitch. No one wants to be hustled.

22.01.2022 Some late afternoon letter box dropping inviting the neighbours to the first open home of this fantastic Edge Hill property.

21.01.2022 Thanks Jackley's Bakehouse for providing us some super cute cupcakes for today's open home. It is certainly going to be a busy day.

21.01.2022 NUMBERS DON’T LIE There are a lot of opinions surrounding the rental market here in Cairns and how our well-known tourism town has been affected by the rece...nt economic events. One thing is for certain there is a lack of available rentals and we have never been busier with enquiry! How can I be so sure? Well today we analysed the FACTS and these numbers simply cannot be disputed. I want you to consider we are ONE office; this is just 30 days and we have responded to over 3,000 rental enquiries!!! The last thing our team want to be doing is turning away 85% of tenant applications, especially great ones. Can you help us? If you are considering investing now is the time. Interest rates are low, prices are affordable, and the demand is clear. Give me a call on 0499 181 020 our team would love to lease your property.

21.01.2022 Beautiful day for it!!! #openhome

21.01.2022 Love this time of year. A time for reflection, relaxing and planning.

20.01.2022 Despite the flooding rain today it is great to be back showing property. Excited to see what 2021 brings!!!!

20.01.2022 The good ones never last long. This McLeod St townhouse sold in 11 days to a buyer currently located in Melbourne. The buyer plans to move to Cairns at the end of the year. This is likely to become a very common situation in the coming future.

20.01.2022 Will the real estate market in Cairns crash and burn or will it survive are thrive? Here is my thoughts on the current market. I would love to hear yours.

20.01.2022 Despite what the news might tell you the real estate market in Cairns is well and truly alive and ticking. August was my busiest month this year (and about as busy as it ever gets) with 6 homes selling and 7 fresh new homes hitting the market for sale. I am certainly looking forward to seeing what September brings.

20.01.2022 Only 3 more Saturday's till Christmas.

19.01.2022 If I had the choice before selling a property to either renovate a bathroom ($10k) or have it professionally staged ($2,500-$3,500) I would stage it every time. It makes such a huge difference to the over all feel. @ Cairns, Queensland, Australia

19.01.2022 One of my favourite parts of selling real estate is seeing the different renovations people do. How awesome is this feature wall on one of our current listings?

19.01.2022 Marketing gurus I need you. This video will be shown in YouTube before videos start playing. The idea is a quick 30 seconds explaining who I am and what i do. Anyone got any ideas how to make it more effective?

19.01.2022 What is LMI (lenders mortgage insurance)? And what are the pros and cons of it? These two questions are commonly asked from people looking to buy real estate in Australia. Today I cover both the pros and the cons of lenders mortgage, as well as, cover my own opinions on if it is a good or a bad tool to use when buying a property in Australia. https://youtu.be/mxypsYRtmg4

18.01.2022 You may of seen me flirting this property the last couple of weeks... well it's finally ready and what a home it is!!! Priced at "Offers Over $419,000" and open this Saturday 10.30-11am it is well worth checking out. Link for more details in the comments.

18.01.2022 With so much uncertainty in the economy, government deficits at all-time highs, and interest rates at record lows what is the real estate market likely to do in 2021 in Australia? With the federal budget just announced and some massive changes happening in the real estate lending space, I take a look at how these government changes are likely to impact on the property market moving into 2021 and make some predictions on property prices heading into 2021. https://youtu.be/v0vIo4yApPU

17.01.2022 Huge news for any Cairns developers.

17.01.2022 They say one of the biggest dangers in life is not knowing what you don't know. When it comes to the world of finances banks are very good at pushing their own agendas and often not what is best for you as the client. In this video, I discuss a little known real estate finance hack called a "security swap" and talk about how I am personally using this method to finance my next home purchase including the advantages it can have. https://youtu.be/vcSEhP8gbWo

17.01.2022 Love the view from the master bedroom at 50 Granadilla Dr, Earlville. Can see out to Green Island

16.01.2022 Who would have thought a "tourism town" would see a real estate market surge during a time when tourism is at record lows? Well, that is exactly what we are seeing in Cairns at the moment. Cairns is the 14th biggest city in Australia and to be honest a fantastic place to live (I am biased). With its affordable property prices, tropical climate and current COVID free condition it is becoming a beacon for migration that is driving the rental and sales market in the region. Jo...in me as I talk with rentals expert Nicole from Twomey Schriber Property Group as we discuss what we are seeing in Cairns Real Estate market this month. https://youtu.be/DP8maWVkCKU

16.01.2022 2020 has certainly been a year of surprises. One of the biggest being the Cairns real estate market absolutely flying at the moment with sales volumes at 10 year high and the market officially moving into a "rising market" as defined by Herron Todd White. For my latest commentary on the market take a look at the link below. https://youtu.be/RoLfVFh4v-Y

16.01.2022 Wow, what a home this is. Built in 2012 and sitting on over 1,400m this large family home is being offered for sale for the very first time. Featuring 4 bed plus a office, 3 bath and a heated pool this property is sure to be a hit. Priced at "Offers Over $749,000". Message me for more details

15.01.2022 The market both in Cairns and nation wide continues to amaze me with its performance. realestate.com.au is reporting its search activity is up 36% above the same week in 2019

15.01.2022 When buying a property it is easy to focus just on the purchase price and the amount of deposit you need to satisfy the bank. Unfortunately, these are not the only costs involved. In today's video, I run over 5 of the largest extra costs involved when buying real estate in Australia so that you can more accurately budget when purchasing a property. https://youtu.be/4KH8TGEGMwk

15.01.2022 What do these 6 Cairns properties all have in common? They all sold in the last month with Shaun Craike. If you are thinking about making a move the market is hot at the moment and properties are selling quick Contact us today to make your move with confidence.

14.01.2022 Excited to be bringing this 4 bed 2 bath home to the market. This home hasn't just been renovated it has basically been rebuilt and present as new. For more info send me a message.

13.01.2022 Excited to bring this Mooroobool home to market. It's truly a stunner. Details to come.

13.01.2022 We have some BIG news!!! Twomey Schriber Property Group Elite Real Estate Services Cairns Tropic Now

13.01.2022 How lucky we are to live in such a phenomenal part of the world.

13.01.2022 Starting the day putting up sold signs with my little helper.

12.01.2022 Just recently I celebrated 6 years of selling real estate full time. Over this time there have been some real highs and some huge challenges. Overall thou I can without hesitation say I love the profession. In this video, I wanted to share 6 big lessons I have learned including some life lessons and some more specific to selling property. https://youtu.be/pgNU3WQv0LY

12.01.2022 Settlement day... or maybe not... one trend we are seeing a lot is delays in settlement due to either the buyers bank or the sellers bank not being ready to settle. Unfortuantly, this happens a lot but doesn't mean the deal has gone south. Typically settlement will occur the day after it was planned. So if you find yourself in this position take a breath and try not to stress

12.01.2022 What a week! This week our team merged 3 offices into one while juggling some massive enquiries levels. Personally I managed to secure 3 new exciting listings and negotiated another sales contract for one of my long term clients. Can't wait to finish the year strong

11.01.2022 The rush of Victorians coming to Cairns has already started. Going to be real interesting to see what happens in the property market when the state boarders of QLD open to Victoria. @realestateaus

11.01.2022 This property was one of the hottest properties I have sold in a while with 31 groups inspecting the property and 6 written offers, ultimately selling for $30,000 over the bank valuation. The market in Cairns is certainly hot at the moment.

11.01.2022 Size does matter... At 106m plus the spacious courtyard, this is certainly a large townhouse that feels more like a freestanding home than a unit. Priced at "Offers Over $189,000" this is one of those properties you need to see to appreciate. https://tspropertygroup.com.au/Listing.aspx

11.01.2022 Apparently it's dress the same as your colleague day. So who wore it better?

10.01.2022 Dropping some finance secrets your bank probably won't tell you in my latest YouTube video. If you have not seen my YouTube videos be sure to check the link in the comment

09.01.2022 Now this one is something special. Set up high in the hills of Earville this spacious 4 bed 2 bath family home will be hitting the market next week. Priced at Mid $700,000's. Message me for more details.

09.01.2022 Excited for the first open home tomorrow at 12 Platypus Cl, Mount Sheridan. This spacious elevated home is great buying at Low $400,000s.

09.01.2022 Day of learning and training with @joshphegan If you are not going forwards your going backwards.

08.01.2022 Located just 1km from Cairns Central this spacious 1 bedroom unit has hit the market for just $155,000 and is ready for a new owner today. The good ones never last long so be sure to book an inspection today to avoid disappointment. https://tspropertygroup.com.au/Listing.aspx

08.01.2022 Yes, I could see myself having my morning coffee enjoying this view. Could you? Send me a message for more details. #cairns

07.01.2022 Every 2 months Herron Todd White produce their "Cairns Watch" report. This months report highlighted some huge changes happening in the Cairns real estate market including some indicators worth taking notice of showing drastic reversals. Join me in this latest video as I dissect the report discussing what each of the indicators actually means and what this means if your buying, selling or renting in the near future. https://youtu.be/Ep3jmgn_trU

07.01.2022 Shooting our latest listing this morning. This home is a absolute stunner! Priced at "offers over $419,000".

06.01.2022 That time of year

06.01.2022 Why don’t the tuna swim past Townsville? They don’t want to end up in Cairns! Happy Christmas from my family to yours. I hope your Christmas jokes are better than this one.... #christmasjoke

05.01.2022 Latest update from Herron Todd White is out painting an overall stable picture for the Cairns property market. It has certainly been one crazy year so far. https://www.realestate.com.au//the-up-and-down-nature-of-/

04.01.2022 Nice to see the sun finally greeting us this weekend

04.01.2022 One of the biggest hurdles facing home buyers is meeting strict guidelines when obtaining finance. This is all about to change as the government make some massive changes to banking legislation. This is going to be huge for the property market. https://www.afr.com//responsible-lending-laws-to-be-axed-2

03.01.2022 There is something special about classic Queenslander homes. It's like from the moment you walk through the doors they have a story to tell. This evening I have the pleasure of opening this stunning home at 41 Miles St, Manoora, from 5.30-6.15pm. Feel free to drop in and say hi.

03.01.2022 The pool at 44 Pease St is looking amazing today, this is the sort of pool you need come summer. Yours for just $199,000.

03.01.2022 In love with this townhouse Come take a look yourself this Saturday 10-10.30am at 4/10 Grantala St, Manoora. Priced "Offers Over $229,000".

02.01.2022 I don't mean to cause alarm but there is only 85 days till Christmas. If you want to buy or sell a property and have it settle this year time is running out!!!

02.01.2022 Epic afternoon yesterday on @badfishy_cairnsjetboat thanks to the guys at @iceicebaby_air_con for having us tag along. If you are looking for a awesome Christmas party idea 100% give @badfishy_cairnsjetboat a go.

02.01.2022 What a place to cal home!!

01.01.2022 Another day another property sold. This elevated home in Mount Sheridan was staged for sale and every single buyer commented on how well it presented. If you are thinking about selling I could not recommend staging your property highly enough. Staged properties sell quicker and for more than vacant properties every time.

01.01.2022 When it comes to affordable properties in the Whitfield/Edge Hill pocket it simply does not get better than this free standing villa at 11/191 Woodward St on the market for just $319,000. For more info send me a message today.

01.01.2022 As per the federal budget the first home buyer deposit scheme has been extended by 10,000 places and buyers can now purchase up to $500,000 with just a 5% deposit in Cairns if eligible for the scheme.

01.01.2022 When renovating a property to rent or sell it is easy to fall into the trap of renovating the property for your own personal tastes but the reality is this is sure why to overcapitalize on your renovations. When renovating a home to rent or sell it important to understand what a tenant or buyer in your market is looking for and to consider what will actually make them buy or rent your home vs the one down the street. Today I talk about the principals I take into considerati...on when renovating and give 3 real-life examples of items that people spend money on that bring no gain and how you can avoid these mistakes. https://youtu.be/ekqU-7I1OWk
