Dear Garth,

I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to you & your team for all your efforts at selling our property in Lane Cove.
I had a great experience with you when we initially purchased this property back in 2004 and again wanted the assurance of a professional & seamless transition of sale - you certainly when above & beyond my expectations again this time Garth!
I look forward to dealing with you again in a month or two with the purchase of another property.
Regards,

Paul

Hi Garth,
 
Just to let you know that we received our deposit back from the real estate agent's office last week. Thank you for the service you provided throughout the whole process (especially in helping to get the deposit back a sap) - it was great, and really appreciated. We thank you again and wish your business well.
 
Kind regards,
 
Lydia and Stephen - Artarmon

For someone that is time poor and not accustomed to the process of buying property that often, your assistance in guiding me through, making sure I actioned things on time, and your overall support in ensuring I was aware of my rights and obligations was a great comfort - and a great servcie.

Thank you for your help - I love my new apartment.

"
Timing the Market; should you Buy, Sell or Wait?"

This newsletter reminds me of two of the best AFL Coaches I had - Kevin
Sheedy and Tom Hafey in my final years of senior high school - they
would always say "life is not long; what you do between the ages of 18
- 22 years will most likely determine what you will do for the rest of
your life whether it be AFL or your working life".

I credit both Hafey and Sheedy for such good advice and the direction
they both gave me as a 16/17 year old year old.

Translating their advice to property …

DO: buy property when you’re young, in fact the best time to get into property is to get in at an early age; it makes life easier later on.

DON’T: take on a too large debt at the beginning; start small and progress from there.

Here are 3 tips for buying, have a read and see what you think:
Just like the share market, no one ever knows when the property market has reached its peak or hit rock bottom. And market-by-market property behaves very differently. The answers are never uniform or simple, but these tips can help make up your mind:

1. RESEARCH: Yes - It takes research to time the market.
Property markets behave differently from suburb to suburb and even street to street. It's vital you know what the market is really doing.

Here’s an interesting website to keep you up to date with exactly what’s going on in your market, it will also give you a guide as to when to BUY, SELL or WAIT: www.thehouse.com.au

2. PRICE: Lower house prices are not always a bargain!
Your research should tell you whether a house price you are interested in is rising or falling and if it’s a good investment, a lower price doesn’t always mean it’s a bargain if it’s not in an area that’s achieving capital gains or you have to over commit to buy it. You need to work out whether the property you like presents an opportunity or not based on two options:
a). if you buy a house with a Mortgage and only pay a little more than rent then that's a good opportunity.
b). If you are thinking of taking on a large Mortgage based on paying it back with higher capital gains in a short period of time, you need to think again.

3. FINANCIALS: a very important equation.
Your mortgage becomes a major part of your life, weigh up all your combined debt, analyse your financials and the effect of being in debt on your relationships around you. Homebuyers need to be able to withstand circumstances like death of a mate, divorce, illness, job loss and/or interest rates rises.

The only real losers in a property market are people who are forced to sell - and that happens regardless of booms or busts.

You think it may never happen to you but the reality is “time and unforeseen occurrences befall us all”.

And remember: PEOPLE DON’T PLAN TO FAIL, THEY FAIL TO PLAN!
Wise planning will help you make wise decisions.
