In October last year I realised I needed to sell my investment property in Brisbane, or rent it at a higher rental than I was receiving through a Government housing initiative. This goal was not going to be easy, as I live interstate and there were complications in regard to the current property management arrangements. Fortunately for me, All Suburbs had sent me their business card earlier in the year and I had kept it...just in case!
By November, I contacted All Suburbs and found them to be absolutely amazing! I had been used to my concerns not being addressed through my then current property managers. It was therefore refreshing to find an agency who listened to me and endeavored, within their sphere of influence, to tailor their efforts and skills to match my requirements. All Suburbs Real Estate was very patient in wading through the mountain of documentation relating to the Government program. Somehow they identified, and explored further, a workable strategy to release my property from the program. During this process, I was very impressed with All Suburbs Real Estate's professionalism, their clear and effective communication with me, as well as their wisdom in seeing the ‘wood from the trees’, enabling the property to be finally free of the unbelievable amounts of restrictions and red tape embedded in the Government housing initiative. All Suburbs Real Estate ensured I was fully informed, and consulted me regularly, as we worked through our plan of action.
At the outset, All Suburbs Real Estate asked me to trust them, and they proved worthy of that trust. Although we were not able to sell the property, despite All Suburbs Real Estate diligent efforts, it has been rented on the open market through All Suburbs Real Estate. This positive experience and outcome has ensured that when the time comes for the property to be placed on the market next time, I will have no hesitation in asking All Suburbs Real Estate to spearhead the sale.
