Real Estate Downunder
Firstly thank you for considering us!
We are a small dedicated team of online FNQ property specialists
operating with a strong moral compass, ethical business practices,
and are fun team players to work with. In a world full of acronyms
and cleverish descriptions and the usual sales jargon, we like to stick
with the facts. Realise opportunities as they stand to make sure each
and every transaction is transparent.
We research outside the ordinary! We seek opportunities for clients
and are competent sellers. With great offerings, we work with
those who are sincere about marketing their asset to attract those
buyers with vision beyond the spreadsheet. Stamp duty and agent
commission are major factors in any real estate transaction. Agents
have a fiduciary & legal responsibility towards each and every
client and are here to professionally represent you the owner by
providing accurate information, the benefit of experience, skillful
representation, and diligent service.
Our people and effective negotiating and communicating skills
resulting in balanced outcomes are what make the difference! We
work like a Swiss clock to ensure lease fulfillment, appointment
schedules, CRM’s, reports, IM’s, tenant and rent reviews, marketplace
information, sales activity, and appraisals are all delivered on time
and to the agreed schedule.
We are fully charged! We stand for simplicity! We think creatively!
We do this on time, every time!

RED ALERT | AUTUMN 2021 | NEWSLETTER
Why
Cooktown?
On Qld’s northern frontier
Cooktown is a charming historical town, unspoilt
by the urgency of modern life. Its close proximity to
nearby reefs, deserted beaches and river systems
make it an ideal fishing destination. While it is best
known for its endemic wildlife, culture, history, bird
watching and infamous barramundi stocks the region
is an enchanting place to call home.
Real Estate in 2021 is much better than previous years
as the population continues to grow. Most investors
are buying to live in the regions unspoilt environment,
The regions growth is unlikely to match the likes of
other places or lose its frontier charm in a hurry.
