They get frustrated and often avoid auction properties, much to the detriment of the sellers. Most buyers just want to know if the property is within their budget. I believe all sellers should get an independent valuation of their property from a registered valuer and then provide this to the agent when listing the property. This can then also be disclosed to buyers. This independent valuation eliminates the concerns of agents under-quoting to attract buyers or overquoting to secure listings. The value of the property then becomes intrinsic on the suitability of the property to the relevant buyer. NEW real estate agencies are now so prolific you have to be careful not to get mixed up.
One Agency, which counts Tracey Goodwin at Main Beach and Jason West and Libby Hewson at Currumbin Waters as licensees, last week shouted about its recent expansion as the “fastest-growing real estate brand in Australia and New Zealand”.
It’s not to be confused with recently launched The Agency, which has many former McGrath people as agents, including James Ledgerwood.
We wonder what’s next.

“Please organise your medication early.”
At least he loves his suburb.
