Finding your perfect match in property

Maximising the relationship with your agent


The real estate industry isn't entirely about property. In my view, its mostly about people, their feelings and achieving goals that bring about a lifestyle, a situation that offers contentment and belonging.

When it comes to matters of the heart, many searching for love will seek the services of a dating site such as Tinder or E Harmony or a Matchmaker such as Hobart's own Follow Your Heart Introductions. Why should your search for the perfect property, another integral part of your life, be any different, it is after all a matter of the heart!

I encourage property seekers to contact reputable agents to discuss their property needs. Find an agent who will actively search for and introduce you to the ideal property.

Be mindful that not all properties will make it to market. Some properties are selling without most knowing anything about it. Even in this market, for one reason or another there are off market sales. Stay close to your agent, they will know about properties coming up before you will.

To ensure you are kept informed, here are some simple steps to get ahead of the market.

  • Choose a select group of agents who are active in the areas you are looking to buy.
  • Be thorough yet open minded when conveying your must have and desired qualities in a home. A good agent will be able to uncover what is really important and translate that to a property.
  • A good agent will provide you with updates, if your agent isn't proactive, contact your agent regularly to stay top of mind. Build a relationship so they connect with your goal.
  • Single out Streets or even particular houses you are interested in and ask the agent to approach them. Only just recently I successfully did exactly that for a couple.
  • If you are a believer in the power of the mind, visualise the property you want and imagine it as yours, see yourself living there, what does that feel like?
  • A good agent will nurture their relationships with buyers, after all, the most important aspect to a vendor in selling a property for a premium price is the attraction of qualified buyers who will form an emotional bond to their home and therefore see its maximum value.

I wish you all the best in your search for that home you fall in love with.

Empowered women, our strength of purpose can be used for good!

Empowered women, our strength of purpose can be used for good! You are nothing short of amazing! You are resourceful, creative and more capable than you give yourself credit for.   I don’t believe we hear this enough or tell each other this enough. Let’s change this! Did 2019 enable you to fulfil all your intentions? Are you looking back on a great year? For me this year has been full of rewarding milestones. It’s also been a year of incredible sadness. I’ve lost people dear to me, and people I know have experienced hardship and heartache. What about you? As I write this, many areas of Australia are in the midst of extreme catastrophe. 1000s of acres are burning, many of our farmers are drought-stricken, people we know and love are suffering from illness or a troubled living situation. I believe it’s now time, time to move beyond talking and time to take action and I want you to accompany me on an incredible journey in 2020! I’ve noticed a degree of frustration a

My latest listing is an enchanting property that has a heritage home operating as a bed and breakfast, Hamlet Downs. I recently spoke with the owner Jenifa about her property and her time there. So you’re originally a drama teacher and from Sydney, I believe you are a fan of Shakespeare’s works? Yes, I was a drama teacher at a Performing Arts High School in Sydney. Teaching Shakespeare to gifted students was a passion.   What made you consider Tasmania?  I had long held a dream to live in the country and run a B&B... I would get on my iPad at night and search B&Bs for sale in Australia. It soon became apparent that Tassie was the place that had many to choose from and I had always wanted to return having holidayed here many years ago.   A nd when you saw the property was named Hamlet Downs did you see that as a sign? I did think the name was intriguing... but I knew once I walked through the land here at Hamlet Downs, I knew it was a special place.    Your move in date

List your home now and revel into the New Year!

 Why selling your home at Christmas time has advantages. It’s no secret that the Hobart property market is experiencing an all-time high right now! With the countdown to Christmas well and truly in full swing, many will succumb to the widespread apathy that can take over at this time of year. “Oh, it’s too close to Christmas now, I’ll leave it to the new year” is an all too common phrase. This Christmas is one where those who buck the trend will revel well into the new year celebrating the outcome of the sale of their home.  Here are 7 reasons why listing your Hobart home this Christmas makes sense!  1.       Supply and demand  The number of buyers searching for their new home outstrips the number of houses for sale. Time and time again people are missing out on properties. At this time of year, when there are less properties listed, in an already strained buyers’ market, the moment there is a sniff of a property coming on the market, there will be buyers lining up to view
