I haven’t played yet. I’ve been hearing good things. I’m keen to check it out.

🏊 Should you buy a property with a pool?
In my experience, around half of the buyers I speak with are specifically looking for a property with a pool or room for a pool.

And I understand why.

On a hot summer afternoon, there’s not much better than being able to step outside and jump straight into your own pool.

But before making a pool a non-negotiable, it’s worth looking at both sides.

The advantages:
☀️ A fantastic lifestyle feature - particularly on the Coffs Coast.
🏡 It can make a home more appealing to families and buyers who love outdoor living.
💦 It gives you somewhere to cool off, entertain and spend time together without leaving home.
🌴 In the right property, a pool can be a beautiful extension of the outdoor living space.

But there are some downsides:
💰 Pools cost money to maintain - cleaning, chemicals, equipment, repairs and electricity all add up.
🧹 They require ongoing attention. If you don't enjoy maintenance, that can become a chore. However, a pool maintenance company can accommodate.
🏊 They take up a significant amount of outdoor space, which may otherwise be used for gardens, entertaining or simply having more room to move.
⚠️ There are also safety, fencing and compliance considerations that need to be investigated when purchasing a property with a pool.

And perhaps the biggest question is:
Will you actually use it?

I’ve seen buyers become so focused on finding a pool that they compromise on other things that matter to their lifestyle, location and long-term plans.

A pool can be a wonderful asset.

But it shouldn't automatically make a property a better buy.
As a buyer’s agent, my job isn't to tell you whether you should have a pool.

It's to help you work out whether this particular property - pool and all - is the right property for you. 😉

If you’re considering buying in the region, I’d be happy to have a conversation about how I can help.

Absolutely worth a visit. I can’t wait to pop in.

I work across the Coffs Coast, Port Macquarie and Yamba, with an understanding of these markets that goes beyond suburb names and median prices.

When you’re buying from outside the area, local knowledge matters.

A property can look great online. The suburb can look great on paper. The numbers can even stack up.

But what about the street? The pocket? The traffic at different times of day? The aspect, noise, neighbours, future development or flood considerations?

And most importantly – is the property priced correctly?

This is where having a buyer’s agent who is genuinely based locally can make a difference.

A property can look like a bargain until you understand what is happening around it.

Also, sometimes the best opportunity is the property that never makes it onto the major portals – off-market opportunities.

My role isn't simply to find you a house.

It’s to help you make a well-informed buying decision - and then negotiate from a position of knowledge.

After years immersed in these markets, I know how valuable genuine local knowledge can be, particularly when you’re buying from interstate, another part of NSW, or simply from outside the area.

Coffs Coast. Port Macquarie. Yamba.

Three very different markets.

One local buyer’s agent who knows them from the inside out.

I’m developing a reputation for career indecision 😂
More about my decision to move back into buyer’s agency and step away from residential sales…

Yes, I’ve thought about how that might look. But I can’t care – I have to do what aligns with me.

I’m very glad I gave sales another go. Although, outside of servicing the vendors I was working with, I found no desire within me to prospect for more – it made something very clear to me:

I much prefer the buyer’s journey.

I love helping someone work out what they should buy, why a particular property does or doesn’t stack up, navigating the search, uncovering the things they might not see themselves, and then negotiating hard when we find the right one.

There’s something very satisfying about being firmly in a buyers corner from beginning to end, especially because this isn’t the norm in Australia – most Australian buyers go it alone on what is likely the biggest financial purchase of their life. (Madness)

I originally obtained my real estate licence in America, where I lived for 7 ½ years. It’s very common for American buyers to have their own agent representing their interests when purchasing a property. They don’t generally navigate one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives alone.

After more than 12 years in real estate - including many years working as a buyer’s agent - I’ve realised that this is where I do my best work.

So, no dramatic career reinvention. No identity crisis. 😂

Just a fairly considered decision to return to the part of real estate I enjoy most.

Buyer’s agency.

And honestly? It’s where I belong.

These markets have really grown over the years. There’s tons of amazing stalls now. The steak sandwiches from the Lions Club stall are delicious!

POV I really hate when I'm handing a sales agent a deal on a silver platter, and they make the whole transaction feel like I'm pulling teeth FFS!! I'm doing half your job! Get on board!!! You're selling - I'm buying - no brainer!!
~ Anonymous 🤣

A more positive POV - There's a very happy sales agent in Port Macquarie right now. With my Vendor Advocacy service, I worked with the vendor over a period of months, assisting the vendor in preparing their home for sale with an appraisal, tips for presenting the home - including cosmetic improvements, selecting the stylist, and selecting the sales agent. From signing the agency agreement to the sale was 8 days for the sales agent. The home was ready to go with all repairs and cosmetic touch-ups completed, and the styling looked amazing!

> Signed Friday
> Stylist Monday
> Photos Tuesday
> First open Saturday - SOLD!!!! $35,000 over price expectations.

Coffs Harbour market snapshot: sellers and downsizers, here’s what matters now. 📊🏡

I’m seeing the most buyer activity in Boambee East & Toormina - quicker sales and growing enquiry rates compared with surrounding suburbs. For sellers, price confidently and consider staging for coastal appeal. Presentation is important to capture motivated buyers.

I translate local data into clear steps for Coffs Harbour, Sawtell, Boambee East, Bonville and Urunga. Visit https://wix.to/AP8wdIr to book a strategy session.
