Just Property CEO
“Whether you’re buying or selling, go first
to the agency’s national website. Evaluate
the tools the site offers you – is there a focus
on information sharing? Does it offer no-
strings-attached, value-added information?
Is the technology employed innovative and
market leading? Then take a reading of the
values the company holds their agents to.”

“A viable high rental yield property in-
vestment strategy depends on the rental
income you get as well as access to capital.
As a result, finance and skills required for
selecting the right property are critical ele-
ments for success.” “In terms of our law, it is the seller’s prerog-
ative (not the agent or purchaser) to nom-
inate the conveyancers of his choice as the
seller is the most at risk and must be able to
rest in the knowledge that the attorney will
act on his behalf by doing whatever it takes
to get the transaction finalised as quickly
and efficiently as possible.”
