subject: Buying Real Estate In Brisbane? How To See The Good Ones First [print this page] Hello, Im Pat CranshawHello, Im Pat Cranshaw. Over the past 20 years, Ive assisted hundreds of people including first time buyers, professionals, investors and small business owners to get the best line that suits them and we make it easy and hassle free. But one of the biggest questions that I get all the time when people are looking to buy a home is, why is it that all the good properties are gone before I even get to see them.
Look, almost every person, even remotely thinking about buying a home today worries about how they get to see the best times first and I guess because you found me, you use the internet, which is great, so does everybody else shopping for homes these days, they are on the web as well. So you need to be a bit smarter.
So what I suggest you do is go to realestate.com.au and click on register, which I think is in the top right hand corner at the moment and provide your email address. You can input on some of the parameters all you want that youre looking for as in what sort of postcode or suburb youre looking for, how many beds youre after, the land size perhaps, whether it has a swimming pool and of course what sort of price band you guys are particularly looking for. Youll then get to sent regular information that fits your wants directly into your inbox. Then when you receive the email from them - you just need to get back to the real estate agent as soon as possible to make sure that you get to see it first.
Working with real estate agents daily, I know that theyre very busy people, and while there are some who get back to buyers, many are focused on the sellers and listings as this is where they get paid. So I suggest you log into realestate.com.au or something similar. Get yourself registered. Its a powerful tool that really works.
Another thing to think about is, I recently had a client who is able to get on to a home before it was even listed on realestate.com. Hes on a list at a local real estate agency and whenever they list a new property, they send it out to their subscribers first. He got the email at his work at, say nine oclock in the morning, he saw the home that afternoon and had a contract on it before it had even hit the internet.
Good real estate agents tell their sellers that they have the special list of keen buyers who like to grab a bargain and they also have a system whereby buyers are logged into this email list and it get sent out. You might have visited an open home or maybe even just walked into an office. They get your data from there and they send that information directly to your inbox. I suggest you go ask a question of the real estate businesses in your area and see what they do to assist buyers.
