As a Buyers Agent (that do NOT recieve financial kickbacks from developers or agencies!) i can say for a fact that a LOT of my enquiries have come regarding Perth.

I hope I don’t get anyone too hyped up in this comment, but would ask you to consider the below.

I am more of a spectator on this website rather than a participant. Hoep this doesn’t come across as advertising (as it is not) just a comment. One thing that I can say in regards to your question is that seems to be very speculative (30%)

The criminal mind behind knowitall disguises a man / woman of logic.

The premise is still correct, don’t pay for what you don’t have to and my experience tells me I even like to make subtle changes to a plan myself even if it has been done by an architect, as they do the plans without hindsight and and without a full scale verison to look…[Read more]

I have done this before and it rolls of the tongue (and for the squirmish who hate negotiation process)

They say to me” Would you consider this offer of $218K (if I wanted $220K) I say, YES I will, but I really need you to know how much I have invested in this property and need to ask YOU, that if. We…[Read more]
