Well it finally happened, my 120 report subscription with Residex wasn't enough to handle the volume of reports that people requested in September. Unfortunately this hasn't allowed me to do as much local marketing, using the reports, as I would have liked to. With this in mind I am going to have to withdraw the offer for NSW reports…[Read more]
