Hi, my name is John Le Brun and I have been a full time property investor for over 22 years. Through that time I have worked and invested individually, in partnerships and in syndicates. I have invested and been involved in a broad range of property from flats, houses, lifestyle blocks, apartment blocks through to commercial and inner city holdings.
In short, I have learnt a lot. I have learned a lot about people, real estate agents, the industry, what drives and motivates buyers and sellers, and most importantly what actually sells property, what creates competition, what appeals to buyers and what sellers can do to get themselves into the best possible position to achieve both a timely sale and the best possible sale price. In an industry that is widely mistrusted I learned that ethics, transparency, honesty and trust play a big part in achieving the desired outcome.
At the very beginning I studied and passed the real estate sales persons course to both broaden my knowledge and give me the insights to better understand and be able to effectively negotiate with agents when pursuing property. I have also used that knowledge and subsequent experience to sell many of my own properties through the years. This guide isn’t a slant against real estate agents, in my experience they are just like any other industry, there are the really good ones, the average and the bad ones.
The fact is, we are living in challenging times, the cost of living is through the roof, people are struggling with inflation and just meeting the costs of basic survival. Some have even been forced to borrow money to meet the rising cost of living. This is affecting home owners as well, I know of people wanting to sell but don’t even have the available funds to meet the upfront costs of going to market. Then of course when you do sell there is the unescapable real estate agent’s commission... On an 800k home that equates to $32,200.00 including GST using the standard 3.5% rate + GST.
This guide was born out of wanting to provide an alternative model for people who would dearly like to avoid those commissions and are prepared to put in just a little more effort in selling their home. Let’s face it, you’ll do 85% of what’s required anyway. The focus was to provide ways to save significant money with the option of being backed up by direct support via phone/email should it be needed.
In the guide/system there are specific and detailed steps, mindsets, tips and attitudes that relate directly to selling your own property. It’s said that knowledge is power but that’s only really true if you apply it, I provide the action steps needed plus the mindsets required to actually follow through and use that knowledge to your lifelong advantage.
I have been asked who will use this guide and an easy answer would be to say anyone that wants a clear and well laid out system to initially save a significant amount of money on the sale of their property and learn the skills and mindsets to continue saving and making more money for years to come but there is more to it that just that…
I envision ethical sellers/people who recognize that there is a right and wrong way to go about things. I reflect on the untold lies that I have been fed throughout the years, the undisclosed aspects of the property, the covering up and hiding of defects and I just shake my head in disbelief. I believe that karma is a real thing so if you have any underhanded or dishonest intentions with the selling of your property then please don’t buy this guide, it won’t be for you. It’s about selling and buying with confidence and transparency. It’s not just about property, it’s also about people, respect, transparency and mutual trust. That’s the Vendordoor way.
