The Real Estate Institute of Queensland has devoted a lot of time and money in supporting the Stand for Stability campaign in educating the general public of the destructive potential of Labor’s Negative Gearing and Capital Gains Tax reforms. As our peak industry body, the REIQ is focused on creating a healthy and stable real estate sector in Queensland. This stability is under threat by Labor’s proposed reforms and no industry will be harder hit than Real Estate.
Earlier this year, Gardian launched its VIP Buyer Service. This service offers the orange carpet treatment for those clients looking to find their new home. In its first 6 months since its inception, our agents have managed to help more than 100 VIP clients.
Some of our sales staff have just returned from the Australian Real Estate Conference (AREC 2019) at the Gold Coast. Over a period of 2 days we heard from 20 local and international speakers, motivators, influencers, and coaches.
It’s been one year now since Gardian decided to evolve to the next level in real estate technology by changing over to a new software program. ReNet is Australia’s most innovative group in this area and was brought on board to help us give our clients an even better service. Their software is number 1 for marketing automation, contacts management, customer relationship management (CRM), website design and mobile responsiveness.
Gardian has recently launched its VIP Buyer Service. This service offers the orange carpet treatment for those clients looking to find their new home.
Gardian’s In-Room Auction evening last Monday at our Corporate Office was well-received with close to 40 buyers and sellers in attendance. Our auctioneer, Gordon Macdonald, sold two of the properties under the hammer! If you were unable to attend on the night, we are more than happy to run you through how the Auction Process gets results for both sellers and buyers. We hope to see you all at our next In Room Auction on Monday 27th May.
Quality agencies attract quality sellers and properties which in turn attract quality buyers and quality prices. Gardian has worked hard at becoming a quality agency. And this is great news for our clients. Whilst the average sale price so far this year in Mackay is $349,000 (according to RP Data), Gardian’s average sale price is $430,000. That’s 23% above average! This is proof that we, as an agency, attract a better calibre of property.
With the first quarter now at an end, now is a good time to reflect on the market and the sale of your property. Congratulations to all of our buyers and sellers. Gardian Real Estate has sold 45 properties for the March quarter. According to Core Logic there was a total of 161 properties sold in Mackay for this period. That gives us 27% market share, so more than one in every four properties in Mackay is currently being sold by our agency. We have the right properties for the right people. So, if you’re looking at selling or buying, now is the time to do so. Contact your trusted Gardian agent to help you achieve your property goals.
The Real Estate Institute of Queensland wrote an article in last week’s Daily Mercury Real Estate lift-out outlining common mistakes sellers make when selling their property.
