But some of the presentations were really good – so if you're not into Bathurst come along -…[Read more]

The experience of our agents "on the ground" in Sydney also confrim that things are starting to happen.But it's only patchy – some suburbs are performling strongly due to affluent owner ocupier demand, and others are floudering due to first home owners running into mortgage stress.There is huge pent up demand in Sydney and when it does take off,…[Read more]

You want someone to work hard for you to get you the best price for your property. Don't…[Read more]
