After 25 years in real estate, I’ve sold through rising markets, falling markets and everything in between. My focus is now White Rock, Manoora and Manunda, the suburbs I know extremely well. Much of the housing stock is made up of established, older homes, which is part of the appeal because buyers can often see opportunities to renovate, improve or add value over time.

The people I work with are varied. There are plenty of first-home buyers and investors looking for that opportunity, but also long-term owners who may have held their property for many years.

With older homes, I recommend sellers have a building and pest inspection completed before going to market. Knowing about potential issues upfront gives us the opportunity to deal with them properly, rather than having an unexpected problem derail a negotiation later.

My approach is straightforward: understand the property, understand the buyer, be upfront about what’s happening and negotiate strongly.

Experience becomes particularly valuable when a campaign gets complicated, because knowing how to work through those challenges can be the difference between losing a deal or getting it across the line.

If you’re thinking of selling in White Rock, Manoora or Manunda, give me a call and let’s talk about the best way to position your property for the market.

For the owner of 48 Mungana Circuit, the priority was to minimise vacancy, secure quality tenants and improve rental income without losing sight of clear communication throughout the reletting process.

In a challenging market, we focused on keeping momentum strong and reducing the time the property sat vacant. The campaign generated 31 enquiries, two viewings and seven applications, with a new tenancy secured after 18 days on the market.

If you’re reviewing your investment property or preparing for a reletting, talk to Zoe Rossi on 07 4031 3138 about a strategy that balances rental return, tenant quality and vacancy.

Featured Sale | Manoora

After a long-term relationship with Giles Lort-Phillips, the owners of this Manoora home were ready to sell so they could make their next move. Their priorities were clear: achieve the strongest possible price and know exactly what was happening throughout the campaign.

Before going to market, the property needed some repairs and styling to make sure it presented at its best. Giles helped guide that preparation, then managed the campaign with clear communication from start to finish. After 28 days on the market, the property sold with the owners happy with the outcome and ready to move on to their next home.

Thinking about selling in Manoora? Talk to Giles on 0438 572 936 about preparing your property and building the right campaign from the outset.

Selling well starts with understanding what buyers are doing now, not what worked six months ago. Across Bentley Park and Freshwater, Ally Cousens uses current market knowledge to shape a stronger selling plan around your property, your competition and the buyers most likely to act.

That means making considered decisions on pricing, presentation, timing and how the property is positioned from the outset. By reading the market early and adjusting the campaign as buyer feedback comes in, Ally helps put sellers in a stronger position when it matters most.

My focus is Cairns North, Parramatta Park, Bungalow and Westcourt, where the market ranges from family homes and character properties to apartments and investment properties. Knowing who is likely to buy each property and what will matter to them, is a big part of how I build the campaign.

Preparation is something I’m very hands-on with. I help sellers decide what is worth doing before launch, what is not, and how to present the property in a way that creates stronger buyer appeal without wasting money.

Many of the sellers I work with are also dealing with more complex situations, including investment properties, separations, relocations and tenanted homes. Sometimes one decision can materially change the result.

Recently, I helped negotiate an early tenant vacate, which opened the property to owner-occupiers and led to a sale almost immediately. Throughout the campaign, I stay involved in the detail, from buyer follow-up and property research to valuations, building and pest inspections and negotiation.

Strong results come from preparation, proactive communication and reading the situation early. If you’re selling in inner-city Cairns, I’ll help you make the right decisions before the market makes them for you.

My goal is to maximise and protect your price throughout the negotiation and contract process while minimising your risk. If you’re thinking of selling your property, I’d love to help you. Please give me a call.
