CENTURY 21 Real Estate Australia

It's time for a spring cleanout!
Every so often (ok, quite frequently!) when my desk at work becomes unbearably messy I have a complete cleanup. This includes throwing away all the stray post-it notes that are floating around, removing the papers from my in-tray that had once been relevant but are now long forgotten and filing everything else. On completion I usually feel a, very proud of how tidy I am, and quite relaxed because there is (literally) no more clutter that I must think through. It shouldn’t be...

Professional property inspections - should you have one before buying?
It is a question that we often hear from buyers who are considering the purchase of a property - should I have a professional property inspection conducted before buying? While I can’t speak for every real estate agent in the business, from my experience I can tell you that arming yourself with the knowledge from a property inspection usually puts you in a much better position.
