What is a LIM, and why do you need your own?

A LIM is a Land Information Memorandum. You order it from your local council, it takes roughly 10 to 15 working days, and it is issued in the name of whoever requested and paid for it. Normally that's the purchaser.

That last part matters. Some properties are marketed with a LIM already attached, but quite often it can't be used for your purchase, because your bank needs one in your name. So order your own.

A LIM covers things such as building consents, code of compliance, the rates, flood zones, and any notices held against the property. Everything the council holds on file.

There’s plenty of new technology making its way into real estate, and a lot of it is genuinely useful. But when it comes to selling a home, technology can only take you so far.

Because the part that really matters? How you communicate.

Knowing when to listen, how to have the difficult conversations, and how to build trust with vendors and buyers. People will always come first. It’s those relationships that make a difference throughout a campaign and last well beyond settlement.

The tools will keep evolving. But the human side of real estate will always matter the most.

A day out of the office at the Barfoot & Thompson conference. Early start, long drive, and a room full of people who do what we do. The best part of days like this is coming home with something you can actually use, whether that's a sharper way to market a property or a better read on what buyers are responding to right now. Our vendors get the benefit of it, which is the whole point of going.

Buying a home? Start with a list.

Write down your priorities and needs, make sure you and your partner are on the same page, and keep your budget front of mind at every open home. Every family's list looks different. You won't always know exactly what you need until you're out there looking, and that's what we're here for!

First home buyers, this one's for you. Lisa's top tip: talk to a mortgage broker first so you know exactly what you can borrow and what budget you're working with. From there it's a simple checklist; what you want, what area, and remembering your first home doesn't have to be your forever home. A few compromises now can get you into the market sooner. Got questions? There's no such thing as a silly one with us.

What actually is a deadline sale?

It means a property goes on the market with a set date and time by which every offer has to be in. Buyers can still make conditional offers along the way. After the deadline, the vendor sits down with us and goes through every single offer. They can accept one, negotiate with one or multiple parties, or decline all and keep marketing. It creates genuine competition without the pressure of standing in an auction room.

Our advice? Don't leave anything on the table, there's often no second chance to sweeten the deal once the deadline's passed.
