how to become a real estate agent?

Author: admin  //  Category: perth real estate

i am currently a uni student and living in perth australia and am very interested in hopefully entering the property market in the near future, how do i go about becoming a real estate agent? and how costly and long will this process take me?

many thanks

You will need sales experience, so try and get a job or work experience in retail or sales, ideally sales… and then you can work yourself up. Also a driving license will be useful too!

Estate agents also work on a commission and target-driven basis as well, so it would be preferred if you have a background which entails this.

I used to work in a mobile phone shop, where I was earning commission and we had sales targets too, just to give you an idea of where you could start.

I have just come into some money and want to buy a block of land with private beach front in australia (prefer WA) but I can’t find any information online…

there’s no private beaches in perth
it’s a coastline, and people live up and down it…
look on realestate.com.au and have a look at what’s for sale

Yes you can use a service such as RP Data or Residex which has listings of almost all sales in Australia. If you want to try to get it for free then you might be able to find it by googling the address or looking it up on realestate.com.au

where can i shoot in Western australia?

Author: admin  //  Category: perth property

can someone tell me where i can shoot in Western australia i need more property preferably it most 2 hours outside of perth thanks…

I am in Vic and over here generally we can shoot in state forests , but there are some exceptions and it is necessary for us to check with DSE …Department of Sustainability and Environment , if we are not sure about a certain forest. Otherwise if a person is a member of the Sporting Shooters Association they have access to private land that allows members to shoot. Click on their link below for more info.

The other alternative is to ask other shooters where they shoot or go to the gun shop and ask them.
I suggest that you approach your local DSE office (or whatever you have there) as a first step as our guys put out a neat booklet with lots of shooting info for Vic and your guys might do the same.

PLEASE HELP…INFO ON BREAKING A LEASE?

Author: admin  //  Category: perth real estate

So I moved to perth and have rented a house just over a month ago, the state of the house is unbelievable, i have rang the real estate every day since we moved in and have not had one call back!!
Let me just tell you some of what is wrong with the house!!
# every tap leaks
# it is a wooden floor, but has soft spots just i am worried might break
# there are ants and mice
# there is rusting on the carport and its that bad that it the roof moves up and down one of the poles
# the skirting has nails sticking out and is not attached to the wall
# there is a air con that does not work
# the stove only has two working hot plates
# we were told that we would never run out of hot water, which we do
# we cant run the shower and bath at the same time
# there is 6 stairs at the back, but it doesn’t have a barrier its just a drop
# the clothes line doesn’t go up
# we don’t have a front door key
# i cant open the front gate, it has clearly been driven into, and grinds into the cement

When we moved in the house was a mess,
# there is still glass everywhere in the sand at the front
# the walls weren’t cleaned
# the fans weren’t cleaned
# there was glass and dog hair every where in the house
# we are paying $330 a week because we have a pool, we still cant swim in the pool because it wasn’t clean, they said it would be cleaned for us
# the double shed was not cleaned
# there was stuff left behind
# the gardens weren’t cleaned

the real estate gave us a week rent free, but she made it sound like she was doing as a favor, because didn’t know the extent of it, i don’t think that, that’s good enough, i have a one and three year old, trying to clean up everything while they are running around is so hard and i still haven’t cleaned it all.
we only just got smoke alarms and safety switches yesterday.
its at the stage where i have had enough and i just want to move out, do i have rights to break the lease, as far as i am concerned all this should of been done before the house was rented out, i want to break the lease but can i??? i want to do it all right, if i break the lease will i get my bond back?? any help as to what i can do would be great thanks :D

you can legally break the lease. Some of the things you complain about, like running out of hot water, are just too bad you have to put up with that. Other things, like ants and mice, they are legally obliged to fix.
also, not having a front door key is a deal breaker. Plus the glass at the front, the stairs at the back and the stove – these things are about safety.
take photos. You took photos when you moved in, right?
document it all.
The landlord’s part of the bargain is that they must provide a lodging that is safe and compliant with minimum standards.

Contact the WA department of commerce on 1300 30 40 54 which is their tenancy hotline
and read their brochure on tenancy here:

What are the benefits in Moving to Perth Australia?

Author: admin  //  Category: perth property

My friend who is a Consultant OBS and GYNAE is thinking about moving to Perth in Australia
1. Is it better than other places in australia?
2. Are the property prices cheaper?
3.Is it better than living in England?
4.Any additional information?

1. No, its not better, all our capital cities are slightly different from each other. Perth is considered one of our smaller cities, very isolated with a small city surrounded by a large area of suburbs. The best features is it is a very pretty city, situated on the swan river with Kings Park looking over it. We also have wonderful beaches, I think the best in australia, as they go for miles. We don’t have the problems that queensland has with the nasties in the water. The weather is very hot, some say too hot ;) . It is a very layback city, more so than the eastern states, that is one of our charms. One negative is our isolation, it costs a lot to travel elsewhere for holidays.

2. No, Perth’s real estate is expensive, partially because we have some many eastern staters moving here for work.

3. It has some benefits, and some negatives. One thing I loved about england was how quickly you could go somewhere different, even for a weekend, and travel/shows are so cheap in comparison. Some benefits would be the outdoor lifestyle and the quality of housing.

4. The main reason people return to there native country is missing their families. It is really difficult to move, start again so far away from all your friends and family. If something goes wrong, it takes 24 hours to fly to england. If you decide to come you must first consider this. I am not sure if these jobs qualify to migrate here, we have very strict immigration rules and we have a list of jobs that are accepted, all others are rejected unless you come in on another type of visa, eg self funded retiree.

I will supply a few websites below you may want to check

edit: I meant to give you this link, but forgot. Its for english migrants with a lot of advice from people who have already done it.

Which is the best suburb around Perth, to buy a large residential property with around 600 to 800k budget?

Author: admin  //  Category: perth property

Im looking to buy a countryish property to live in, having less than an 45min drive to Subiaco. Size approximately 1500 to 3000sqm.
Which suburbs suit my requirements?

This is difficult as in Subiaco is quite central and near the coast, so this means you have to go up a long way, quite far to the east to get the bigger blocks, which means more than 45 minutes travel time, or down south, but the traffic would be horrendous in the morning.
So, you will have to decide what is more important to you.
Areas to look at in the country would be Middle Swan, Greenmount, HERNE HILL, Swan View, SOUTH GUILDFORD, GUILDFORD, JANE BROOK, Carmel, Pickering Brook, WATTLE GROVE, GOOSEBERRY HILL, LESMURDIE, Helena Valley,
Nice, but a bit further – nUpper Swan, Bullsbrook, BRIGADOON, The Vines

You can check out what is available with the below website, Beware some of these blocks are closer to our airport, others near midland can be surrounded by not so nice areas.
