For $14,300, at 2.5%+GST, thats over $520,000. Considering you need a conveyancer or solicitor anyway, let's leave that aside for a second; and lets take the $1,500 that you see as value off the agent's fees, leaving us at $12,800.I am yet to see a property worth around 1/2 a million…[Read more]

I have done it, having thought it would teach me a few things, but no, it’s pretty much useless. I’ve almost finished the agent’s licence course (in Victoria by the way), and that too is terrible. Most of the material hasn’t been updated for about 10 years, and the laws etc that have changed since are…[Read more]

Minus $110 for the current arrangement, you’re left with an extra $410. Not bad, but could you claim the cost of the creepy crawley in depreciation in years to come?

Just a thought, as then…[Read more]

I just posted a reply on this link, it should help you.

Essentially partnerships have unlimited liabilities – i.e. – you would be liable for your mate’s actions if he went out and bought himself a new Ferrari in the partnership name. They’re VERY RISKY!

Corporations offer limited liablity…[Read more]

Following from this, there is no actual requirement of intent or written contracts/documents (I could give you cases if I could find my Corporations Law books, but thats a different thing all together).

I am basically finished my Real Estate licence, and believe that agents really have to lift their game, and earn the respect of the public. They need to earn a reputation of being reliable and trustworthy, rather than on par with used car salesmen.

You should report the agents to your local (state level) Real…[Read more]

My view is that it’s better to have one agent working for you exclusively. Multilisting is better suited to agencies who:
a) are so small that they are not able to carry on their own business at full capacity without trying to sell other agencies listings; or
b) agencies that are so big, that going halves in the commission is affordable…[Read more]

As an agents representative, i cop sh!t all the time as soon as you mention that youre a real estate agent due to people like this lazy guy.
