2009 was an amazing year in real estate.
Despite the Global Financial Crisis we saw property once again become the favourite option for many investors, and despite rising interest rates and lowering first home buyers grants, prices and volume of residential sales increased.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our team at WDRE for an amazing year.I am sure they will now enjoy their well earned break before starting afresh in 2010.
Our offices will be closed from December 24th 2009 until Tuesday January 5th,2010.
I hope everyone has a safe and happy Christmas,and please spare a thought for those less fortunate. May 2010 be yours and everyone's best year yet!
Regards,

Presentation is everything!
When you are selling your home, first impressions really do count.
Many people undersell their property because they simply did not spend a little time, energy, and perhaps some money making the property look more appealing.
When you buy a car from a caryard, it will have been detailed and looking it's best. Lets do the same with your home.
Start outside with the simple things. Mow the lawns, trim the edges, weed the gardens and touch up any exterior painting required.
Inside the first thing is to remove the clutter. If in doubt, throw it out!
Have the carpets cleaned, the walls washed down, and particularly ensure the kitchen appliances and bathroom are freshly cleaned and free from grime. Let plenty of light in and make sure the heating and air conditioning are working.
