Transforming Home Buying: Share Your Thoughts!

Lorraine from Mount Maunganui

Hello Mt Maunganui, Arataki, Papamoa and Tauranga Communities,
I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out to gather your thoughts on a new business idea that could make buying a home a whole lot easier for our community.

Purchasing real estate is one of the biggest investments many of us make. When selling, you have an agent dedicated to your needs. But when buying, you’re often left to navigate the process alone. That’s where a Buyer’s Agent comes in—a property expert committed to helping you find and purchase your ideal home.

Buyer’s Agents, common in the US and Australia, but new to the Bay of Plenty, have no listings, ensuring they have no conflicts of interest. They work exclusively for you, the buyer, to secure the best possible outcome. Here’s how they help:
1. Personalized Service: they spend time understanding your needs to find your ideal property.
2. Property Searches: they locate properties that match your criteria and arrange private viewings.
3. Property Ratings: After each viewing, they help you evaluate the property based on your needs.
4. Appraisals: They provide property appraisals with comparable sales data to ensure you don’t pay more than the property is worth.
5. Negotiations: They guide you through Sale and Purchase Agreements, and handle negotiations and auctions.
6. Due Diligence: They arrange all necessary checks, including title searches, LIM reports, property inspections and more.
7. Protection: They protect you from common pitfalls and costly mistakes.
8. Expense Summaries: They provide a summary of outgoings like insurance, rates, and body corporate fees.
9. Smooth Transactions: They ensure all conditions of sale are met and that settlement proceeds as expected.
10. Informed Decisions: They help you make confident, informed buying decisions.

Would a service like this be valuable to you or someone you know?
Your feedback is crucial in determining if our community is ready for a Buyer’s Agency Service.

Thank you so much for your time and support.

Why Drying Rooms are on the bucket list of every Homeowner in winter 🏡❄️

Matt from Matt Wineera - Thats Real Estate with Matt Wineera

Imagine a cosy winter day without the hassle of damp clothes draped everywhere. Sounds amazing, right? That's exactly why drying rooms are becoming the must-have feature for most homeowners this winter!

### The Ultimate Winter Helper ☔👕
Drying rooms take the stress out of wet weather laundry. No more clothes hanging on radiators or cluttering up the living room! These rooms are specially designed to keep your clothes dry and your home tidy.

### Eco-Friendly and Efficient 🌱☀️
As we all become more eco-conscious, drying rooms are popping up in new builds and renovations. Many of these rooms feature solar-powered systems, using the sun’s energy to warm air and dry your clothes. It's a win-win for your laundry and the environment!

### Multi-Functional Magic ✨🔄
Some drying rooms do double duty as laundry and mudrooms. With heated concrete floors and cross ventilation from doors and windows, they keep your clothes dry and your home organised, even on the rainiest days.

### Say Goodbye to Laundry Woes 🌧️👋
No more rushing home to rescue your clothes from the rain! A drying room ensures that your laundry stays dry, no matter the weather.
