Hi, I’m Brook Rutherford, a buyers agent.
I thought I would take the opportunity to remind everybody how important it is to get the right advice. So, when I’m speaking to clients in that early introduction phase, one of the big things I always ask is: who’s your financial planner? Have you got an accountant? How is your super looking?
I’m not out there to go and buy the most expensive property and make sure that you’re sitting on the map until I know that you’re really ready to buy, because I buy really quickly. I’ve got a lot of different opportunities, particularly at the moment.
Be ready when the right opportunity appears
The number of off-market and pre-market properties on the Lower North Shore alone is probably 30, even 40 per cent more than what’s listed.
So to give you an example, there are 99 properties for sale on the Lower North Shore under $3 million. That’s houses and townhouses, not including apartments. When I add 30 to 40 per cent more stock coming to me, it’s really, really immediate, and we’re going to get things done super quickly.
Just going back to my principles: is this the right time to buy? Have I got the right advice? Am I ready to go?
These are really important things, and I really care about my clients. I care about your future and what will happen in 5 years’ time after we’ve bought this property together. It’s just got to get better and better and better. I hope that helps.
