BUYING & SELLING TIPS by Eview Real Estate Partners
BUYING TIP How do I know if I’m paying too much?
Research recent sales in your preferred location by using oneof the many web sites available, such as RP Data. Inspect
every property in your preferred area so you get a feel for theprice. Attend all auctions and open for inspections. Develop a
relationship with your Eview Sales Agent who will be able to
offer additional advice and also alert you to new listings beforethey reach the media.
The more “homework” you do prior to purchase, the betterequipped you will be in making the right decision.

infrastructure changes in the area. So much so
I believed in this, I sold my family home and 2
investment properties in a bid to be able to afford
to buy the MPRE Frankston franchise when the
opportunity became available.
Basically I put everything on the line because I
believe so much in the future potential growth
of Frankston.
I am happy to say that what I predicted back then
is now becoming a reality. Over the past three
months we have sold over 150 homes and the
prices we are achieving are staggering compared
to what we were selling just 12 months ago.

higher price than other agents.
The reason our firm is able to sell homes so
quickly for a premium price is simply because we
are dealing with nearly all the buyers in the market
place. For example it would be extremely rare
that a home in Frankston sells through another
agent whereby one of our sales consultants
is not servicing that buyer. With the rapidly
changing market and the fact that we are currently
experiencing a “sellers market”, it is my strong
belief that any homeowner selling their property
in the Frankston area must take the property to
public auction.
There are simply too many buyers out there
wanting to purchase for the vendor not to
consider the auction method, in fact we would be
doing the vendor a disservice if we didn’t auction
best advice I can give anyone who is
considering selling at the moment in order to
upgrade their home or location, is actually not to
sell - rather keep their home, lease it and purchase
another home if financially possible.
An investor cashing in and selling their investment
operty at this time should seriously weigh up
is to be gained by using the proceeds of the
sale versus keeping the property and watching
the property grow in capital a little longer. I believe
that the capital gains we can all expect within the
next 3 - 5 years will be phenomenal!
