“I decided to sell with Matt Jones because he had sold other units within the block and had always marketed them well, with great results. I was very impressed with the way Matt marketed my property, from the photos to the exclusive showings, and as a result, he had a contract signed, at a price I was very happy with, within 3 days of the property hitting the market. I would definitely sell with Matt again.” Tully Stewart88 Peach Street, Greenslopes Sold $737,000

New Pool Laws Passed In Queensland

Tough new laws making pool safety inspections and certificates mandatory have been passed by Queensland's parliament.

Planning Minister Stirling Hinchliffe said the final stage of new legislation would make the state's pools the safest in the country.

The laws extend state pool laws to indoor pools and pools at hotels, motels, caretaker dwellings, caravan parks and other residential buildings.

This has been on the market for some time but the owners have had a change of circumstances and have just appointed Nathan to "get the deal done!"

Consisting of 4x one bedroom flats. The current return is around $40,000 per annum, the smart investor would make some improvements to the property and increase that easily.

The location couldn't be better, close to Coorparoo Train Station. Smart investors will jump at this, particularly with the new pricing.

Commonwealth Bank iPhone App Is A Must Have For Property Buyers

The Commonwealth Bank's Property Guide iPhone application provides recent sale and for sale information on over 95% of properties in Australia.

If you are out looking at property it is a must have. Open the app, do a local search and up pops a map of all property sales in the area, most with a small description of the property and a guide sale price. If you are looking at buying a unit in a block it can bring up the other sale prices in a snap. If you see a house you like you can check when it last sold and for how much.

I tried it out in my street and in no time a list of properties was available.

Best of all it's free and can be downloaded from here.
