Hi, I believe the rental property I just sold was an active asset given it was rented temporarily at the time of sale and I managed the property, is this reasonable?

Hi, we’ve had had 3 agents look at our home and must say they’ve been less than impressive as all they wanted to do was talk. Any tips on what searches we can do before we meet another agent?

Hi,

We have a 1980’s home with a large L shaped lounge / dining. It currently has a built-in brick bar (non-wet).
Ive stripped out the room to renovate the flooring and now considering whether to keep the bar or not. Its in great condition but we rarely use it ourselves. From a re-sale pespective, is it better to keep it or knock it out and re-purpose the area, such as a reading nook ?
Kind Regards,
Peter

Hi,

We gave our notice to vacate over 3 weeks ago now and our property manager has done the outgoing report approx.4 days after the end of our vacate day. I handed the keys in 3 days early as well. Are we responsible for the property once the vacate date has passed?

Thanks.

Hi, i am a benefactor from the sale of my Mums house (their are 4 of us), i am currently residing in house. My eldest brother is the executor. House had been on market for 2 months. House originally listed for 700-750 grand, now is 660 (90 grand difference). There is a drainage easement on property (we actually have had no problem with it, no flooding), agent & brother say this is why price has gone down. Is this right? Why so much so quickly-shouldn't agent know all this from beginning?

My business partner and I bought an investment property in a company trust. My family has subsequently moved into the property and I have agreed to buy my business partners share. Is there a way I can buy them out without having to change property ownership and pay stamp duty, thanks ?

I work in the city and it takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes to get to work… painful. My property would be around $1.3m and the mortgage is about $900k and I’m thinking of selling my home and buying in the eastern suburbs or inner west. A couple of friends have suggested renting first for 6 months before buying and selling. The travel is not getting any easier and I’m hoping to get some advice on other options in relation to bridging finance or other things to consider?

We put an offer on a property yesterday and the agent wants us to exchange on Monday or Tuesday. Is it wise to exchange without the full finance approval?

Hi. I am interested in buying my first investment property here in Australia and I am considering hiring a buyer's agent who charges a fixed fee (13k). Does anyone recommend using one or will I be better off doing everything myself? What's your experience?

I have had an apartment for sale through a real estate agent for approximately 8 months The exclusive period has now finished but I am still leaving it with him to sell.
If a private buyer comes to me now with an offer do I have to pay any commission to the agent.?He has not introduced any buyers to me.

We are selling our home of 18 years and going through the process of choosing a real estate agent. The fees seem to be around 1.8% but one agent has offered 1.4% but wants to charge a $9,000 marketing fee. Does the marketing costs sound right ….. I know they put a sign out the front and the property goes on realestate.com.au and domain but does it really cost that much?

We are thinking of selling our home and contacted Purplebricks as we saw their ad about flat fees. We would hope to get around $1.9 - $2m for our property so it would save us about $25,000 but they said their fee is paid upfront. Do you think this is a risk and is there another we could structure the payment?

The seller wants a higher price than what the CMA indicates the property is worth. The seller insists on a “valuation”. What specialist advice would you recommend?
