Are you dealing with licensed real estate persons?

Matt from Matt Wineera - Thats Real Estate with Matt Wineera

Hi there fellow real estate enthusiasts! ๐Ÿก We know that selling or buying a property can be quite the whirlwind. It's a world of paperwork, decisions, and, let's face it, a bit of stress.

Hi there fellow real estate enthusiasts! ๐Ÿก We know that selling or buying a property can be quite the whirlwind. It's a world of paperwork, decisions, and, let's face it, a bit of stress.
But you know what? In NZ most homeowners still lean on licensed real estate professionals to make this journey smoother. ๐Ÿ 
Here's the lowdown on why:

๐Ÿ”น Effective Marketing: They know how to showcase your home to attract potential buyers.
๐Ÿ”น Buyer Magicians: Finding the right buyer within your timeline? They've got it covered.
๐Ÿ”น Pricing Pros: Your property gets priced competitively - no guesswork here.
๐Ÿ”น Boosting Value: Get expert advice on how to boost your property's worth.
๐Ÿ”น Home Presentation Tips: Ever wondered how to make your place look its absolute best for showings? They've got your back. ๐ŸŒŸ
๐Ÿ”น Paperwork & Negotiation Ninjas: Those nitty-gritty details? They're on it.

And if you're a buyer, working with licensed real estate professionals can be a game-changer.
Why? Because as a property buyer youโ€™re better protected. When buying through professionals, you have a safety net through various Legislative Acts of Parliament.

Selling privately isn't classified as "in trade," which means activities might not be governed by the Fair Trading Act 1986. This, in turn, leaves consumers in a tricky spot.
If a private seller misrepresents their property or withholds crucial information, your only recourse is civil action. And that can be a costly and time-consuming process, with no guaranteed outcome.
Remember, the burden of proof in these civil actions falls solely on the person bringing the claim.

So, when you're making that big real estate move, choose wisely. Licensed professionals can make all the difference in the world.

At 96, Logan Campbell resident Russell Parrish has achieved an incredible feat - โ€˜knocking offโ€™ the summit of One Tree Hill 30 times over 30 consecutive days. Plus, it was all for a great cause โ€” raising money and awareness for Alzheimerโ€™s in honor of his late wife Mary.

Every single day of September, come rain, shine or blustering gale, Russell set off from his home at Ryman Healthcareโ€™s Greenlane village to walk to the top of the iconic mountain set in the heart of Cornwall Park.

The idea also coincided with Ryman Healthcareโ€™s annual Walking for Wellness challenge, which this year aptly had an Everest theme.
