Buyers Waiting – So Aren’t You The Buyer’s Agent?

So often in the local paper we see advertisements where estate agents proclaim that they have “buyers waiting”.

The Gospel According To Nigel

A New South Wales client of mine was interested in investing in New Zealand property through a buyers’ advocate. He sought my advice on the appointment form of a company he had come across.

Why Queensland Estate Agents Don’t Give Discounts

Will the apparent upturn in Queensland housing prices mean discounted real estate commission rates? Will agents charge sellers less as homes are reportedly sold within days, if not hours, of going on the market?

Witnesses Beware!

Witnesses Beware! The law is familiar, the Court of Appeal judge remarked, with cases where someone forges a property owner’s signature on a mortgage, induces someone else to witness the forgery then borrows money on that security.
