This section of Real Estate Echuca brings to you a couple of really interesting and informative articles.
The first article talks about the Australian Real Estate market and offers tips on how to select and invest in the right property.
The second article explains why it is advisable to use the services of a licensed real estate agent instead of trying to buy or sell on your own especially if you, like me, can’t negotiate to save your life.


Australian Real Estate
By Chris A Bloor
Real Estate in Australia has been described as the national passion – especially amongst the baby boomer’s that flock to real estate investment seminars in great numbers.
Australians Embrace Technology to Find Real Estate
Over the last few years, the internet has become the preferred source of Australian real estate investors when searching for information, replacing traditional media such as newspapers.
The beauty of the Internet is that property investors can find what they want quickly and easily.
Many Australian property investors I have met have a low opinion of real estate agents largely because they work in the industry and yet not that many own more than one property.
They think it is like a doctor who says he doesn’t believe in medicine.
Australian real estate professionals warn that the path to real estate riches is fraught with many dangers.
Their collective advice is that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
That said, literally tens of thousands of Australians prefer real estate property over shares pointing to the fact that on average, the price of Australian real estate in many areas is doubling roughly every ten years.
They view real estate as a sure thing.
Many Australian property investors are seeing the value of networking and of doing their due diligence.
Successful Australian property investors stress the importance of creating a team of professional advisor’s to help you reach your goals.
These Include:
- – Accountants (Not just any accountant but one who understands real estate)
- – Mortgage Brokers
- – Property Surveyors
- – Interior Designers
- – Landscapers
- – Renovation Experts
- – Property Managers
- – Real Estate Agents
Australian property investors are seminar hungry and various real estate experts like Dolf de Roos and Robert Kiyosaki have seen record numbers of people attend their Australian real estate seminars.
A friend of mine recently described the Australian Real Estate market as being like a friendly version of the old Wild West. There is still a fortune in them there hills but these days, you can really enjoy life on the way.
The best place to start in relation to Australian real estate is to educate yourself. Read books, attend seminars, speak to successful investor and ask them to share their insights with you.
You might want to consider attending a meeting of the Investors Club that according to the blurb on their website provides everlasting support through all stages of your investment journey. This includes everything from researched investment property and securing finance, through to ongoing property management. All this at no charge to you – the vendor pays. (http://www.tic.com.au )
