Realmark scoops REIWA awards

At last night’s Real Estate Institute of Western Australia Awards, Realmark took out four of the evening’s honours. We were announced as the winners of the below categories:

• Large Residential Agency of the Year for the second consecutive year
• Commercial Agency of the Year for the first time
• Communications Award for the fourth time
• Innovation Award for the third time

My wife Anita and I attended the ceremony and accepted the awards. It was a very proud moment for us and our entire team. We strive to bring a new, effective approach to what we do and being recognised by our peers for our efforts is an amazing feeling. Realmark wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for a hard working team of people, we share this moment with all of our employees and thank them for their efforts over this last twelve months. The next step is the Real Estate Institute of Australia national awards, fingers crossed we pick up our first ever national award.

The first to move usually wins

Anyone who is working in, or active in the property market would know what I am talking about when I speak of the current sense of uncertainty surrounding the market.

I wouldn’t say things are dire out there but people, whether they are sellers, buyers, investors, landlords or tenants, are uncertain and when people are uncertain, they tend to stop and put off making decisions. Therefore the market is in somewhat of a holding pattern.

This type of market is just part of life in the property market and it will change at some point, nothing is forever in this industry. Therefore pull your head out of the immediate, be able to look ahead and if you are positioned correctly I recommend you be the first to move. Don’t decide to move when everyone else is, that is when the opportunities are diminished. Real benefits come from acting when everyone else is scared.

Something to think about no matter who you are or what your intentions are in the property market.

When you go for a new job it stands to reason you want to look your best at the interview. Well, it applies to your home too. If you’re thinking of selling, it’s the next owner you want to impress.

Marketing matters to YOU

We were very excited to again be recognised at the Australian Business Awards, taking out the Marketing Excellence category for the second consecutive year.

IN Cash's Shoes

An Australian musical show celebrating the music of Johnny Cash comes to Perth this month.

Elvis might have had blue suede shoes but Johnny Cash wore black and was a rebel and a musician who stood against the system. He was also one of music’s most loved and controversial artists.

The man in black was 71 when he passed away in 2003 and during a bumpy and awarded career the singer, songwriter, actor, author and musician broke ground across style...read the full article at realmark.com.au
