Trick or Treat?

If the idea of having hundreds of little scary dressed up people knocking on your door unsolicited puts fear in your veins then you may need to leave town. That’s right folks, I’ve just described Halloween or life as a Mosman home owner as agents pound the local pavements offering up the ghastly ‘free market…
Oh So Sensible.

If you have recently thought to yourself that the outspoken virtue-signalling real estate agent (me) has been quieter than usual then you would be right. Whilst we have a rule in here that if the newsletter is no good it doesn’t go out, this lull of weekly sarcasm and wit has had less to do…

For anyone paying close attention to the market you may be forgiven for thinking it’s a bit all over the place at present (because it is). On one hand agents constantly harass owners spruiking how hot the market is, yet if you have visited any auctions lately you may have witnessed awkward on a whole…

For long-term readers of this missive you know this is pretty much off the cuff, shoot from the hip sort of thing. Truth be told, some Fridays I struggle for content…but not today. Before I start, some recognition for some rare real estate solidarity. Immediately following our sale of 20 Tobruk Avenue in Cremorne this…

I was going to write this note about how earlier this week I nearly stuck pins in my eyes having to endure an awkward interview where a buyers’ agent posed as a vendor’s advocate but I’m doing the work…mature David reporting for duty. So this week instead of throwing shade I thought I’d send an…

I’m the first to admit that it’s low-hanging fruit to talk about the rain…but seriously? Despite the team getting some great runs on the board week gosh it’s hard to stay chipper in this ghastly weather. The market, so what’s happening? Well, we are seeing an increase of buyer enquiry and whilst there are good…

Have you ever wondered where your least favourite real estate agents go when all of a sudden they almost seem to disappear into thin air and then re-emerge 90 days later? Well my friends, I have a theory. Common answers to the question “what happened to [insert dodgy agent’s name here]?” include “oh he’s just…

I had to laugh this week when I saw a headline exclaiming that there had been over $60M in sales this week in Mosman alone (one of those sales was $43M…rendering the claim a little less spectacular). Of all sectors, real estate has to win the Logie every year for the most nonsensical claims to…
