- [Why Do Real Estate Salespeople Overprice Properties?](https://women-in-realestate.com/why-do-real-estate-salespeople-overprice-properties/): "Discover the strategic and psychological reasons why real estate agents and sellers often list properties above market value, from 'buying the listing' to creating negotiation wiggle room."
- [The danger of over-pricing](https://women-in-realestate.com/the-danger-of-over-pricing/): Are you in danger of pricing your property out of the market? Are you considering selling your home? One of the biggest mistakes sellers make is overpricing their property. Overpricing can scare away potential buyers, cause your listing to stagnate, and ultimately lead to a lower sale price. In this article, we’ll explain the real dangers of overpricing your property and share expert tips to help you set the right price from the start. When selling a property there are many things to consider and overpricing a property is something to avoid. That is why it is crucial that you choose […]
- [Gardens with soul](https://women-in-realestate.com/soul-food-in-your-garden/): Soul food is often found in the garden. It feels good to look out at my garden and see the changing colours of the seasons with the bees darting everywhere, and the birds in the trees, and bird baths. I love watching the native birds feeding on the hanging seed bells, with their birdsong a joy to listen to as they go about their day. During the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown periods many people might have found a new way of relaxing in their own backyards. Container gardening is an opportunity to express yourself. It is also great for both mental and […]
- [Never over promise and under deliver!](https://women-in-realestate.com/never-over-promise-and-under-deliver/): [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″] When times are tough and sales are few and far between, it is common for some salespeople to “over promise and underdeliver”. In real estate though, it is something you need to watch out for a lot of the time, especially when there are fewer properties on the market than normal, or where inexperience plays a part in an over eager salesperson’s objective to win a listing. In some countries, salespeople will earn more from listing a property, while the […]
- [Renovation reality](https://women-in-realestate.com/renovation-reality/): Renovating looks easier than it is in reality It is so easy to believe that renovating  your home will be a walk in the park with so many renovation reality television shows on offer that make it seem so easy. But whether you are doing the work yourself, or employing tradespeople, the reality of the actual renovation has to be experienced firsthand to be believed. Luckily, there are ways to get through this sometimes stressful time with a nice new kitchen/ bathroom or total home makeover waiting at the end of the tunnel. Renovate it or completely pull it down and […]
- [Caution! Asbestos](https://women-in-realestate.com/caution-asbestos/): When buying a house it is always advisable to employ a licensed building inspector to provide information on the building condition. Knowing what to budget for in respect of any repairs required in the coming years makes a lot of sense! Finding Asbestos in a home can be quite alarming for some purchasers, yet it is quite common, especially for houses built several decades ago. Approximately 67 countries world-wide have now banned the use of asbestos. In New Zealand asbestos was used mainly in the construction industry over many decades. Despite ceasing the production of asbestos-containing materials in this country back […]
- [Energy Efficient living - why it is worth a try!](https://women-in-realestate.com/energy-efficient-living-worth-a-try/): Simple ways to reduce your energy usage Family is important, and so is keeping a warm, energy efficient home for them to live in. Many of us at some time in our lives consider ways in reducing our energy use, so might find that there are many simple ways to do so. Back in the Eighties we installed Solar Panels on the roof of the first home we built, and then again in 2011, we installed them once again, and both times we were rewarded with cheaper electricity. Of course the climates of both those locations were perfect for solar panels, […]
- [Dux Quest- pipes that leak](https://women-in-realestate.com/invisible-leaking/): Dux Quest plumbing pipes Dux Quest was one of the first types of plastic pipe plumbing systems introduced into New Zealand in the late 1970s to early 1980s replacing the trusted copper pipe of earlier decades. It was installed in thousands of homes in the late 1970’s to early 1980’s and within as little as ten years or less, the pipes began causing problems. The pipe would become brittle and it was thought that this was due to chorine in the water that might have caused the issue, so it was withdrawn from the market. Of course it does not help […]
- [Boomers and Real Estate](https://women-in-realestate.com/boomers-and-real-estate/): The generation game None of us likes to think we’re old, whether we’re 35 or 85. The “Baby Boomers’’ generation covers a broad age spectrum, from those aged 55 to people in their 60’s to our older Boomers who are now in their 70’s. Boomers born from 1946, straight after the end of the war, and into the early 1950s had a remarkably different life experience from those born later in the 1950s and 1960s. This latter group hit their teens in the 1970s. Right now we have both ends of the Boomer spectrum downsizing In the top age group it […]
- [The less you own - the less owns you!](https://women-in-realestate.com/the-less-you-own-the-less-owns-you/): Do you ever feel like you are running from one task to another? Are you multi-tasking to get things done and constantly in catch-up mode, mobile phone in hand, and answering email after email, and then suddenly it is time to feed the family and catch up on laundry? The bigger the home you have, the more you might fill it! Minimalism is owning fewer possessions. It is intentionally owning less and removing their distraction so that you can focus on less. It values relationships, experiences, and is food for the soul. It lets us see what we already have and […]
- [House too small?](https://women-in-realestate.com/house-too-small/): When is the right time to upsize? Could it be when your little darlings become “tweens”, or perhaps when they start to bring their friends home as teenagers? It is good knowing where they are and if they feel that they can entertain friends at home surely that is something we all want as parents? Knowing where they are is important isn’t it? There are a lot of multigenerational households these days frequently consisting of grandparents, married couples and children, and often they will include parents and their adult children, ranging from their late teens to early thirties. But no matter […]
- [Don't waste advertising dollars on overpricing](https://women-in-realestate.com/dont-waste-advertising-dollars-on-overpricing/): [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”] Buying and selling real estate is not an exact science. Real Estate salespeople are required to comply with the current legislation, and in New Zealand, for instance they need to abide by their professional client and conduct rules. Rule 10 is very important as salespeople are required to supply a market appraisal that reflects current market conditions and it should always be realistic. So no matter how much you love your home, there is no guarantee that when you come to sell […]
- [First Impressions Count](https://women-in-realestate.com/first-impressions-count/): [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” link_option_url=”https://women-in-realestate.com” global_colors_info=”{}”]   “First impressions can make or break your property sale” Improve the appearance of the front of your house before selling I don’t know how many times that I have had buyers in the car, knowing that they will love the property I am taking them to if only I could just get them inside, when they will balk at even getting out of the car to view it, because the first impression is not very good.Buyers often take their gut […]
- [Want to sell real estate?](https://women-in-realestate.com/qualities-needed-for-selling-real-estate/): [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”] The wonderful thing about Real Estate is that it attracts all sorts of people from many different backgrounds. These days, if you have a leaning towards a “bums on seats” mentality when employing new staff you should be thinking twice! And if you want to go into real estate then you need to make sure that you are not only choosing the right career for you, but the right Real Estate Agency for you. Be careful of what you […]
- ["Laugh alot" gardens](https://women-in-realestate.com/laugh-alot-gardens/): [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″] Being cooped up due to bad weather must be incredibly hard on many people, but especially so if there is inadequate space for children to play Easy projects to keep the kids busy don’t always come to mind, but there are some that are clear winners. When my children were younger they loved the good old sandpit, the swing and the tree house. I remember thinking that it must have seemed high up to them, when in fact it was […]
- [Where have all the Tradesmen gone?](https://women-in-realestate.com/where-have-all-the-tradesmen-gone/): [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”] Are you renovating or building? While you are waiting for those quotations from Tradespeople you have contacted, some of whom might disappointingly not even turn up, you will get some that “over-quote” because they have too much work on. It seems hardly fair on the consumer, but it does seem to be a fact of life now in many places. Imagine accepting their “blown out of proportion” quote and getting them to start the job? Will they start on […]
- [The Joy of Minimalism](https://women-in-realestate.com/the-joys-of-minimalism/): [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″] What is Minimalism? Do you ever feel like you are running from one task to another? Multi tasking to get things done and constantly in catch up mode, mobile phone in hand, and answering email after email, and then suddenly it is time to feed the family and catch up on laundry ? The bigger the home you have, the more you might fill it with it seems. Minimalism is owning fewer possessions It is intentionally owning less and removing […]

Obviously it will be changed. There could be job losses, and more unemployment, and it will be a different world we walk out into to once we have beat the worst of the virus that has caused a worldwide pandemic. There could be more buyers in the […]
- [When is it time to downsize your home?](https://women-in-realestate.com/time-to-downsize-your-home/): [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.15″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.15″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.15″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.15.1″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”] “When is the right time to downsize?”Is it perhaps when you need to downsize your life?Have you got too many unused rooms in your current house?It is costly heating a large unused home, and cleaning it can be just as bad.If your home is full of children or guests, it might be different, but there comes a time in all of our lives when we need to be practical and look at all the options.It can also be quite invigorating having a […]
- [The cheapest deal is not always the best](https://women-in-realestate.com/the-cheapest-deal-is-not-always-the-best/): [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.22″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.8″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″] The Salesperson who offers the cheapest deal is not always the best person for the job. So you want the best deal? We all do! It seems that the commission charged for selling a property can be an enormous expense. But do you actually know what the commission charged is for and what goes into “up-selling” a property? Not many people do. So choosing a salesperson because they are the cheapest is a very common mistake to make. Remember, the […]
- [Which is the best market to sell in?](https://women-in-realestate.com/which-is-the-best-market-to-sell-in/): For many years, it is fair to say that Real Estate agents have been operating in a “sellers market”. Post “Covid-19”, what will the Real Estate market look like? There have been many thoughts on this. One thing is for sure though- it will be a different world once we have the virus under control. A seller’s market or a buyer’s market? In a “seller’s market” our sellers have been rewarded with many buyers. These buyers compete against each other in a tight market with an “undersupply” of property. This has pushed prices up. Salespeople who have worked in many markets, […]
- [Warning signs to look out for when buying a property](https://women-in-realestate.com/warning-signs-to-look-out-for-when-buying-a-property/): Renovating is not always easy. Even the the tasks that look like they could be simple can turn out to me a mission to finish! Have you ever found a few cracked tiles in the kitchen and thought about replacing them? It is okay if you have spare matching tiles, but what do you do if those tiles that were available back in the 1980’s are no longer available? These are often the things that we don’t think of when we are high on the thrill of having bought our first new home. That original “eighties” home that everybody seemed to […]
- [Don't be a bad landlord!](https://women-in-realestate.com/dont-be-a-bad-landlord/): What price should we put on good health? Am I right in thinking that if you are renting a property, and paying good money each week for the privilege one would expect to live in a healthy home? Landlords have been put on notice after the landlords of a damp, mould ridden home were penalised and fined over $38 000 recently. Rheumatic heart disease has now been linked to unhealthy damp and mouldy conditions found in some rental properties. In fact, a recent case found that a child’s diagnosis was linked to the almost uninhabitable living conditions of dampness and mould […]
- [Crazy selling prices](https://women-in-realestate.com/crazy-selling-prices/): House prices through the roof During the Covid-19 pandemic there has been much said about the shocking increase in property prices around the world. Take Brisbane, Australia for instance- the median house price in September 21 has hit a record of $702,455 and Sydney house prices have equated to approximately 30.4% of annual growth – the highest on record reaching $1,499,126 Read more here In New Zealand, the average national house price hit $937 000 (according to Core Logic -a property analytics data company) and the Real Estate Institute of NZ shows there has been a 15.4 % increase in house […]
- [Tips for a healthier home](https://women-in-realestate.com/tips-for-a-healthier-home/): Keeping your home healthy is an ongoing process Sometimes we ignore the smaller issues that then become the bigger issues that cause us pain when we get sick or have to pay for extensive remedial work to alleviate further issues. Climate Change is a very real problem even though there are many out there who think it will go away by ignoring it. Floods, earthquakes, firestorms – they are happening more frequently around the world, and since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic started we certainly don’t need anymore challenging events. 10 tips to keep a home environment healthy Keep your […]
- [Tiny home freedom](https://women-in-realestate.com/tiny-home-freedom/): What can we learn from Tiny Homes? The tiny home phenomenon is becoming popular in many parts of the world. For some, the move is driven by a desire to downsize and live a minimalist lifestyle. Others see it as a way to decrease their impact on the environment. Economics are often a large part of the equation. Buying and maintaining a tiny home can be relatively inexpensive, and the savings can help many people on their path towards financial freedom. Tiny homes are often less than one-fifth the size of a small median family home. Entertaining guests can be challenging […]
- [Backyard Bliss](https://women-in-realestate.com/backyard-bliss/): Why not relax and enjoy the rewards of your labour? Transforming a garden into a place where you can relax and enjoy the fruits of your labour can be very rewarding. Perhaps you have purchased a home with a tiny garden and are looking for ways to make it into a peaceful retreat? Or maybe you were thrilled when you bought the huge back yard which has now become overgrown and hard to handle. Whatever your reason, transforming a garden can be a work in progress and can often be an enjoyable family affair if you have small children who like […]

They can be filled with drama and intensity depending on the skill of the Auctioneer. There is no right or wrong way of getting the right strategy, but the one thing you can do is be prepared. If you are going to be bidding, do your research on the property thoroughly. Know what similar properties have sold for so that you can budget accordingly. Always inspect the competition so that you know […]

A friend of mine once remarked that her son’s new girlfriend had left an obnoxious plant by her front door called “mother- in-laws tongue” as a belated Christmas gift. I laughed when I heard her describe the relationship she had with her son’s new girlfriend –  obviously somebody that she did not approve of. Personally, I thought she was rather a nice girl, as she […]
- [Seller beware](https://women-in-realestate.com/seller-beware/): Are you getting ready to sell your home? If you have not sold a property in a while then there are many things to consider. Beware of discounted fees The fees for selling your home are an important consideration but beware of agents offering deals or inducements to get you to list with them. Instead, look for a salesperson who has a reputation for being a strong negotiator. You need someone who will get you the best price for your property, not someone who charges the lowest fee. Ironically, they could end up being the most expensive, because they achieve a […]
- [Winter and the blues](https://women-in-realestate.com/winter-and-the-blues/): Seasonal affective disorder Sometimes when the days seem dull and the sun forgets to shine for days on end, we can suffer from something called SAD (Seasonal affective disorder). This depressive disorder is linked to the seasons of the year and is more common in countries that don’t have plenty of sunshine all year round. If you have trouble “over sleeping” in the winter, feel agitated or over tired, and experience appetite changes, especially a craving for foods high in carbohydrates, you could be affected by SAD. The difference between SAD and depression though, is that most of the SAD symptoms will go […]

But just as important as a comfy bed is the way in which your bedroom makes you feel. Feng Shui The ancient Chinese art of arranging living spaces called Feng shui is thought to maximise the flow of energy in a room. It has been suggested that a bedroom with good “Feng Shui”  can strengthen the bond between a couple and promote a good relationship. With […]

- [When the bank comes knocking](https://women-in-realestate.com/forced-sales-by-mortgagee-sale/): Mortgagee sales I have always felt that mortgagee sales are very sad for all of those involved. It is usual for Banks to give mortgage repayment defaulters time to sell their home so as to save face and avoid the stigma of having to sell their home by way of a “mortgagee sale.” A Mortgagee sale happens when the bank or mortgagee steps in and forcibly sells a property when the owner has not paid back their debt that they owe on the property. Banks know that they have a moral and legal obligation to help resolve any repayment issue, but […]

What better way than to have a property that can be split into two seperate dwellings. Of course, they have to comply with the building regulations and various council rules and healthy homes standards. Sometimes when buying or selling it can be quite stressful if you don’t know the rules. Rules around advertising”home and income” properties Jenny was attending an open home of a work colleague. She had been invited  by […]
- [Miss the World?](https://women-in-realestate.com/miss-the-world/): When will it end? Covid-19 has made it a long 16 months so far. Just when it seems things are getting better, there is another outbreak. Like many people, I have decided to wait and get vaccinated before travelling overseas, even though I miss my family so much. Having an auto immune disease makes that a logical decision. At first I was hopeful that I could get vaccinated last month as we were originally told. But now, it seems that my hopes of being vaccinated are probably not going to happen until later this year and even then, travelling might still […]
- [Seller's market versus a Buyer's market](https://women-in-realestate.com/sellers-market-versus-a-buyers-market/): For many years, it is fair to say that Real Estate agents have been operating in a “sellers market”.   Post “Covid-19”, many commentators predictions have been incorrect so far. The doom and gloom and job losses that were predicted were replaced with FOMO (fear of missing out) and subsequently housing prices have been driven up in an unsustainable way. Banks have kept interest rates low and lulled people into expecting many more years of low interest rates and fuelled their FOMO. New Zealand has the most bubbly house market in the world, according to a ranking by Bloomberg Economics. Read […]
- [Simple Kitchen Makeovers](https://women-in-realestate.com/simple-kitchen-makeovers-2/): You don’t have to spend a lot of money in order to refresh the decor in your kitchen When we received a few quotations for renovating an older 60’s style kitchen and bathroom, I was visibly shaken when I read the figure put in front of me by the saleslady with the glossy hair. She tapped her pen on the figure saying it was “a bare minimum price”. I looked around at the showroom with the Italian marble and the ornate fixtures and fittings and realised that I was perhaps in the wrong place. It got me to thinking. Why not […]
- [What type of personality are you?](https://women-in-realestate.com/what-type-of-personality-are-you/): Identifying personality traits for better communication is key If you wanted to unlock the secret to better communication and negotiation or simply just wanted to understand why somebody does something, then the Disc theory is a great tool to use. The DISC personality test, based on Marston’s DISC theory, has been used in business and personal applications for over 30 years. The DISC personality test uses four basic personality traits of human behaviour and the research that Marston conducted in the 1920’s continues to give us great insight into human behaviour and personality types even in today’s world. Human behaviour is […]
- [No more Baby Boomer bashing please!](https://women-in-realestate.com/no-more-baby-boomer-bashing-please/): Why not learn from a baby boomer instead of always bashing them? Oh No! Not another Baby boomer bashing…switching on the radio I heard the plaintiff whine of another round of “baby boomer bashing”. I felt certain the speaker was an over anxious Millennial as she was going on about how hard it was today to buy a house and how easy it was back in the day for Baby Boomers! I am not sure I would ever agree with that. Baby Boomers represent the millions of people born between 1946 and 1964. They were born during the post World War […]
- [Top house hunting mistakes](https://women-in-realestate.com/top-house-hunting-mistakes-2/):   Buying real estate is full of little” trip me ups”, but it is one area where you don’t want to make a mistake. Have you ever gone to look at 6 houses, being desperate to find one and then got them all muddled up in your head? Sure you have! It is common to look at several and take features and benefits from one and think that the other has something it doesn’t have. I remember a client once telling me she wanted to buy the one with the gorgeous drapes in the main bedroom. She was visualising the best […]
- [Avoid Nasty Renovation Surprises](https://women-in-realestate.com/avoid-nasty-renovation-surprises/): Having recently renovated a mid century home, after having done many renovation and new build projects before, made me realise that every renovation is just another learning experience. Planning is crucial to any renovation project no matter how small. The devil is always in the detail Going over budget is also very common so a good plan is important. Knowing what you could be up against is a good way to plan for the unexpected. That way if you include a 20 % buffer in your budget you will be pleasantly surprised if you don’t have to use it. Nasty surprises […]
- [What's wrong with your home?](https://women-in-realestate.com/whats-wrong-with-your-home/): So why don’t the buyers love your beautiful home ? It is a mistake to assume that what you like, somebody else will like too. We are all so very different in our likes and dislikes and often this has a huge affect on the selling price of our homes when we do not take professional advice and act upon it. Remember, nobody wants to buy a home that resembles somebody else’s life. They want to imagine their life in your space. So if you have ” treasures” everywhere, shelves overloaded well loved books, loads of dusty souvenirs everywhere from your […]
- [Seller's disclosure is important](https://women-in-realestate.com/sellers-disclosure-is-important/): Thinking of selling? You would not be the first seller who has questioned what their own obligations are as to what they should disclose to potential buyers. There are some out there who will blatantly hide a defect, like a leak in the roof by giving it a quick once over with a paint brush. It is wise to think about what your obligations are as to disclosure to your salesperson and to your intended purchaser. You certainly do not want to have the sales and purchase agreement falling over due to a bad building inspection, or worse, be taken to […]
- [Price it right the first time!](https://women-in-realestate.com/price-it-right-the-first-time/): Buyers buy by comparison We all love our homes, right?  After all, that is why we chose them after viewing so many others. We bought by comparison after looking at similar in our price range and location. When it comes to selling them, we have to look at it as if we were a buyer. We need to research the competition, and know what we are up against as buyers normally buy by comparison. Being prepared and knowing what other similar properties are selling for before you go to market is very sensible. It is crucial to choose the salesperson who […]
- [What happened to the power lines?](https://women-in-realestate.com/what-happened-to-the-power-lines/): Consumer Protection when buying houses Have you ever got a surprise when you have turned up at an open home to a totally different looking property from the one described in the real estate marketing on the internet ? Many years ago, I remember commenting to a salesperson that the photos looked great and that hopefully the home would be just as nice. He invited me to come to the open home that Saturday, assuring me I would not be disappointed. I had vaguely remembered the address from some years before and it had looked totally different then. I had wondered […]
- [Did Nanna know best?](https://women-in-realestate.com/did-nanna-know-best-2/): When it comes to money and spending, some of the things our parents and grandparents swore by are not so silly in today’s uncertain Covid financial times. “Spend less and save for a rainy day” If you take this little bit of advice seriously and build in those shock absorbers to your financial well being then you might just survive and thrive. Try cutting costs, seeking out the best deal when it comes to service providers. Control your everyday spending and look at getting better deals from your bank and consolidate your debt. If you don’t have the money to eat […]
- [Understanding what is not being said](https://women-in-realestate.com/understanding-what-is-not-being-said/): The most experienced salespeople are often caught out when they have not read in between the lines correctly. So often a buyer or a seller will expect you to read between the lines or listen to what is not being said. A seller might turn down an offer and say ” Oh, I’m not in any hurry to sell”, only to call the next day asking “Have you sold it yet?” And a buyer might say ” there is far too much to do” when what they really mean is ” I want to get the price down”. So being able […]
- [Enough is certainly enough!](https://women-in-realestate.com/enough-is-certainly-enough/): [et_pb_section][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text] Covid-19 has certainly got a lot to answer for! Enough is enough! World wide massive loss of life was just the beginning, not to mention the many changes to so many of our livelihoods, and the ongoing lock downs we still have till we can safely go about our lives again. Listening to children telling others to wash their hands, are some positive aspects, I guess, and the way we have for the best part all adapted to working and schooling children from home is another positive not to be taken lightly. Sadly though, FOMO and now FOOP dominate […]
- [Time to sell?](https://women-in-realestate.com/time-to-sell/): When it comes to selling your home, you will naturally want to look at the costs associated with an often stressful time in one’s life. There are also now many other things to consider in this day and age. What happened yesteryear is vastly different nowadays Thirty years ago, you would never have entertained staging your home at a huge cost and indeed, sometimes considerable inconvenience. Often, I have felt sorry for people who are forced to declutter to such an extent that their home feels like a cold uninhabited show home. Home buyers of course are attracted to the stylish, […]
- [Never neglect maintenance issues](https://women-in-realestate.com/fix-it-sooner-rather-than-later/):   It is easy to get complacent about home maintenance when you are busy at work or running after the kids every weekend with their sporting interests. It could also be that money is an issue, not knowing what it would cost maybe, or perhaps receiving the cost breakdown that seems a little on the high side, and wanting to find cheaper options, or do it yourself and not quite get round to it? Whatever it is, you should always make sure that you don’t let that little maintenance issue become a big maintenance issue! Those gutters that have lots of […]
- [The Horrid Housing Squeeze](https://women-in-realestate.com/the-horrid-housing-squeeze/): Do you feel slightly nervous of the current housing market? Just yesterday, a friend mentioned to me that she was forced to find a new rental due to her landlord selling. The Landlord’s reason was that he could no longer afford to hold onto the property, due to the Government’s introduction of a raft of changes that made his mortgage repayments unsustainable and the necessary compliance requirements unaffordable. She had been to view over 80 properties and eventually had to settle for a smaller, older property that was further from her son’s school. It was a 2 bedroom 1960’s unit with […]
- [Never ignore maintenance issues](https://women-in-realestate.com/never-ignore-maintenance-issues/): Ever wondered why your beautiful home does not appeal to everyone else? It is a mistake to assume that what you like, somebody else will like too. We are all so very different in our likes and dislikes and often this has a huge affect on the selling price of our homes when we do not take professional advice and act upon it. Remember, nobody wants to buy a home that resembles somebody else’s life. Buyers want to imagine their life in your space So if you have ” treasures” everywhere, shelves overloaded well loved books, loads of dusty souvenirs everywhere […]

Besides the obvious things like checking out the neighbourhood, schools, shops and transport facilities there are other really important things you need to check out. If you have a professional building inspection done, make sure that you go over it carefully with the inspector and ask questions if you are unsure. Here are a few common things to check out. Roof Age, material and condition. Any cracked tiles, rusting iron, or areas for concern? […]
- [Shouldn't have bought it?](https://women-in-realestate.com/shouldnt-have-bought-it/): Regret at a recent purchase is very common Wondering whether you might have paid too much for something is an awful feeling! Perhaps you had been searching for a while and been unsuccessful several times when making offers on other homes? You might also be out of pocket by having to spend hundred of dollars on builders reports and on doing other necessary checks before making an offer via a Tender, Auction or Private Treaty. Sometimes it is FOMO ( fear of missing out) that drives us and this has been a very real motivating factor of late during Covid-19 especially. […]

Have you ever viewed a property to purchase and been not quite sure about something you have noticed in the home? Perhaps the age of the home shows some notable damage to the window frames ? Maybe there is wood rot or perhaps there is a water stain on the ceiling? What if the salesperson shrugs it off as fair wear and tear when you […]

If we can improve our lifestyle by growing a little herb garden, then isn’t it something worth considering ? You don’t need a lot of space to create your own special herb garden either. Planting a small pot of Basil, Parsley or Mint and leaving them on a windowsill in a small apartment is just as effective as placing them on […]
- [Suitable Neighbours](https://women-in-realestate.com/suitable-neighbours/): The perfect neighbour is something most of us like to be. But what if you have bought the perfect home in the best location then suddenly one of your neighbours teenager’s drives his car through your fence? Perhaps the damage is substantial and your private garden is now ruined? Or maybe you are just heading to bed after a long day and the music starts up next door for the fourth night in a row? Perhaps it is beginning to sound as if you are in a downtown bar with people screaming and shouting over the loud music? What is happening […]
- [Simple kitchen makeovers](https://women-in-realestate.com/simple-kitchen-makeovers/): You don’t have to spend a lot of money in order to refresh the decor in your kitchen   When we received a few quotations for renovating an older 60’s style kitchen and bathroom, I was visibly shaken when I read the figure put in front of me by the saleslady with the glossy hair. I watched her manicured nails as she tapped her pen on the figure telling me that it was “a bare minimum price”. I looked around at the showroom with the Italian marble and the ornate fixtures and fittings and realised that I was perhaps in the […]
- [Healthy homes](https://women-in-realestate.com/healthy-homes/): Everybody wants to live in a healthy home, but sometimes sadly, it is not possible for many. However, If you can afford to do the upgrades on your home, then it is considered highly beneficial and worthwhile for the health benefits you will gain for you and your family. Rental properties in New Zealand now must comply with the Healthy Homes Act. New rental tenancy agreements must have a compliance statement attached which shows the progress a property manager or landlord has made towards meeting the standards on heating, ventilation, insulation and other healthy homes requirements under the law which became […]
- [Home work or work from home?](https://women-in-realestate.com/home-work-or-work-from-home/): Working remotely Covid- 19 has brought about many changes for a lot of us. One of those is that we work from home more often. Perhaps we land up permanently working from home…who knows what the future holds? There are advantages and disadvantages of course. If you are renting a small apartment or a shared home then it could be difficult.  It could be quite challenging if you are not used to working in cramped spaces. But if you have a designated area, perhaps a study or extra bedroom or area off the lounge to utilise then it can be quite […]
- [Finding your cheer](https://women-in-realestate.com/finding-your-cheer/): [et_pb_section][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text] Finding your cheer It is that time of year again! 2020 has been a very different year for all of us worldwide. Finding your inner cheer at Christmas for many people these days can be difficult. Since Covid-19 it has become slightly harder to gather as a family if you are spread all over the world. Whatever the reason, if there are less familiar faces present at Christmas, it does make it harder to find your cheer. The Christmas Spirit I realised that I have dreaded Christmas since I lost my husband to cancer nearly 7 years ago now. […]
- [Have you got "buyer's remorse"?](https://women-in-realestate.com/have-you-got-buyers-remorse/): Buyer’s remorse Sometimes when we purchase something we have a feeling of remorse soon after. This is no different when you purchase a house, in fact, the remorse can be much worse. Experienced Real estate negotiators are keen to get the deal signed that day for this reason. They will encourage their sellers not to miss out, as a buyer can withdraw an offer at any time until it is signed by both parties, and this includes any counter negotiations. Whereas the inexperienced or perhaps unmotivated salespeople might not be as prudent, especially if they are selling in a “Sellers market”, […]
- [Messy house or hoarder?](https://women-in-realestate.com/messy-house-or-hoarder/): Household clutter or hoarding? Sometimes it is hard to differentiate between hoarding and extreme clutter. Many times in my real estate career, I have come across people who do not see the clutter when they come to sell their homes. It is rude to point it out to them, and sometimes difficult to be tactful, so how does one help in these situations? When it comes to selling a home, the property needs to be clean and tidy and “less is always more”. Less is more Buyers like to be able to imagine their possessions in a home in order to […]

If you buy with the theory that if you needed to sell quickly, you could sell, for a fair market price, then of course, it will minimise any loss in selling so quickly. So only buy at “fair market price” and not by fear of missing out (FOMO) Ideally, you do not want a problem home that you then have to fix or on-sell when it becomes too expensive to […]
- [Reasons why you should pay for marketing](https://women-in-realestate.com/why-you-should-pay-for-your-own-marketing/): Choose wisely and don’t be fooled by cheap offers When property listings are scarce, it is tempting for some salespeople to offer enticing deals to get you to list your property with them. There are a lot of logical reasons why a property owner should think carefully, and should indeed pay for their own marketing. Real Estate salespeople are paid a commission to SELL a property. They are not salary earners. This fee is for the investment of the Agent’s time and expertise in advising the owner, creating a marketing strategy and showing the property and eventually negotiating a sale. Remember, […]

Finally he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway, it just wasn’t worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbours to come over and help him. They each grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At […]
- [Divorce & selling a home](https://women-in-realestate.com/divorce-selling-a-home/): Selling your home after a divorce requires good communication between all parties Often there is much emotion wrapped up in a family home. So when it comes to selling, everybody needs to be on the same page. Sadly, when it is a matrimonial split, things become quite difficult, especially if there is a communication breakdown between the parties. It could also be said that we grieve for what was once ours – a life that is no more. In fact, it doesn’t really matter how long you are in the home, if there is a change of circumstances that force you […]

This blog is a difficult one to write even after 7 years, merely because I have often wondered why there was nothing out there to help me when I searched the internet at a time when I had to deal with so much else. They say that “Grief is love with nowhere to go” After nursing my late husband through many rounds of chemotherapy and radiation, countless operations and having to adjust to being the sole breadwinner, house fixer, carer, financial guru, lawnmower fixer, boat driver, and later as sole parent and grandparent – […]

Misunderstandings often arise when our faces speak for us. It has been widely researched that we as humans have […]

The seasoned buyer versus the first home buyer Seasoned buyers and investors know what to expect so will have it all sorted. They know that there will no doubt, be multiple buyers that they will be competing against, so they will be prepared in more ways than one. Knowing that if their offer is to be one of the ones […]

These days buyers will choose to get a professional building inspection done, which will itemise any maintenance issues or immediate repairs that are required. Of course the inspector cannot see through walls or floors, so often a more detailed inspection is required if there are other tell tale signs of hidden damage. I can remember years ago, as […]

Smart wiring, or smart homes are often talked about and the digital natives amongst us know all the tricks. Just listening to some of the things required in our new smart home made my head spin. For instance, I wondered why we needed “mood lighting” ? I certainly did not think that my moods were anything for highlighting, except perhaps the good ones – the ones when I am happy to find the correct TV channel on the complicated TV remote? Or perhaps happy […]

Nothing unusual really as it is a common factor in any sales industry. There have been many times in my career that I have felt utter despair, after negotiating for weeks on end on a sale of a property and then having the Bank turn the buyers finance down, or perhaps the property fails a […]
- [Are you priced right?](https://women-in-realestate.com/are-you-priced-right/): Price your home correctly as soon as you list it for sale I have often encountered sellers who tell me that they want to price their home higher in order to have a bit of cushioning for negotiating later. But in reality what this actually does is lower the number of potential buyers that actually see the property when it is first marketed. For instance if you add 50K to your asking price and list your property at $700K, and a buyer is looking in the $600K – $650K range, you might miss the one cashed up buyer that would give […]

With reportedly, more than 6 million listings in 191 countries, (as of  August 2019), Airbnb has achieved unparalleled growth within its industry since its 2008 launch. Airbnb’s success was founded on the ability of essentially anyone being able to list an extra room on their website. It has been a great way to holiday and will hopefully continue to be post Covid. A report from earlier this year said that Rental market in NZ was ‘flooded’ with former Airbnb properties. Property investors were pulling properties […]

Make sure you have the required deposit and necessary solicitor’s fees. Know where you want to live- close to the city, […]

When I was selling my own home after the death of my husband, I wondered if I was a hoarder! They say that hoarding is often a coping mechanism. Apparently if we are bereaved , or perhaps it could be triggered when the kids leave home and we suffer empty nest syndrome. It is probably a combination of many things, and we are often unconscious of doing it – it is a distraction from thinking of something difficult like loss or a change in our lives, so […]

We read about what is happening in our housing market  now, but what about long term? Travel overseas seems to be one of the many things a lot of Kiwis and Australians are also concerned about. A lot of us have family living all over the world and we wonder when we will get to see our loved ones again in person. I know that I feel heart sore when I think of my immediate family overseas growing up so fast without […]
- [Benefits of laughter](https://women-in-realestate.com/could-laughter-be-the-best-medicine/): Do you laugh in stressful situations? So often in a stressful situation I find myself laughing. I am sorry to say I will also laugh at the wrong things, and very often at myself. Perhaps we should not take ourselves so seriously? Nobody is perfect thank goodness! Selling Real Estate is a commission based industry in most countries, so you are “unemployed” every time you sell your last listing. Stressful? Yes – very! Dealing with one of the most stressful events in a person’s life day in and day out often makes you ignore it when people are rude or demanding. […]
- [6 Reasons why some properties take longer to sell](https://women-in-realestate.com/selling-your-property/): I have found throughout my career that there is a buyer for every property, just maybe not in the time that you might think if you have not paid attention to some really important factors. The length of time on the market is affected by a number of factors. Location: If it is in the right location then that is great, but if it is in a location that is not as desirable, then allowances will have to be made. It seems that everybody wants the worst house in the best street, but not the best house in the worst street. […]
- [Upgrading a bathroom](https://women-in-realestate.com/upgrading-a-bathroom/): Thinking of upgrading your bathroom? Planning is essential to a successful outcome when remodelling your bathroom. Consider the following before getting at least 3 quotations. Remember, what you visualise is not necessarily what the person that you choose to work with might visualise, so it is better to have a clear idea and plan of action in place. There is a huge source of material on the web these days where you can get ideas. Most Bathroom and Tiling companies will have a lot of useful information available and some Tile suppliers will even have an online “Tile Visualiser” where you […]
- [The Millennial Buyer](https://women-in-realestate.com/the-millennial-buyer/): Do you know a Millennial buyer? Often when enjoying a lunch out with my children, it is a race to beat them at the cash register. While I am searching my handbag to find my wallet and credit card, I will often be too late to pay as my son has snapped his iphone closed after paying  for our meal with Apple Pay. I know that I need to “get with the programme”, but it seems I am old fashioned. Besides, I would probably have the same problem  finding my iPhone in my handbag, so it would take the same amount […]
- [What can we learn from Gen Y?](https://women-in-realestate.com/what-can-we-learn-from-gen-y/): What can we learn from Millennials? Generational differences are often quite plain to see. My grandson, (aged six at the time) once explained to me that it was okay to believe that I could see my late husband (his Granddad) in a rainbow if it made me feel happy, but really a rainbow was just a multicolored arc made by light striking water droplets. I tried not to laugh at his seriousness and his sweet sympathy for my ignorance as he chatted from the back seat of my car. I figured that my son or daughter in law must have explained […]
- [Divorced or Widowed ?](https://women-in-realestate.com/divorced-or-widowed/): Moving on when divorced or widowed can be extremely difficult. Finding a new home is just the beginning. The grief of surviving a change can swamp us with all sorts of emotions and prevent us from making the right decisions. You might have jointly owned a property for many years together and now face life alone. It can be a minefield of emotional change so it is best to tackle it with logic and practicality. When my husband died, I knew that I could not live in our large home with the big garden and pool that gave me a headache […]
- [Don't look back- You are not going that way](https://women-in-realestate.com/staying-positive-is-not-always-easy/): [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” _builder_version=”3.22″][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.6.5″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″] Remaining positive is not always easy, even for positive people! I have always liked “sayings” and when I am at my lowest will often read them. They make me feel better for some reason. When my husband was first diagnosed and given 2 months to live, I would write the positive sayings that I found in a little green notebook. Eventually after 22 difficult months of many operations and 28 rounds of chemo my brave husband died , yet I still […]
- [Why rent when you can own?](https://women-in-realestate.com/why-rent-when-you-can-own/):   Taking the first step into owning your new home is often a daunting prospect. Interest rates are at all-time lows and even though the thought of buying a first home is a big step, it is a step in the right direction. Although it’s a long term financial commitment, with home loan terms generally ranging from 25 – 30 years, it is a worthwhile undertaking if you are ready, not only financially but realistically. Sort out the finer details Think about your commitment to those you may be buying a home with. Perhaps with a partner or if you are […]
- [Counting blessings during the tough times](https://women-in-realestate.com/the-real-medicine/): Let your hopes not your hurts shape your future Some days it might just seem too hard to see past the gloom. This is especially so if you are struggling with a health issue, or perhaps you are grieving with somebody suffering a terminal illness? I know I grieved from the moment that my husband was diagnosed. It is not always easy being the support crew. Sometimes watching somebody die could be worse than dying yourself you might think, as you feel helpless to ease their pain. But there is something that you can do. You can be there to listen […]
- [Keeping calm when things go wrong](https://women-in-realestate.com/keeping-calm/):  When I first started writing this blog I was going to call it ” clients that scream!” but then decided that people might get the wrong idea! There are times in our lives when it is really important to remain calm. I remember once being stuck in a lift during a lightning storm and electricity blackout in Africa in the Eighties as a young professional. I was showing clients a penthouse apartment in a high rise building in a coastal resort. They were excited elderly buyers who came into my office clutching the newspaper advertisement. Let’s call them Mr and Mrs […]
- [Year 2020](https://women-in-realestate.com/worldly-woes/): Life is never fair It is complex. There are many times in our life when “a decade of awfulness” can descend upon us in a week, and yet you can also go a decade with only little obstacles stopping you from moving forward and enjoying your life. Often, I wonder how I ever survived some of the many challenges I have encountered in my life. Emigration, floods, earthquakes, recessions, political unrest, hijacking, starting again in 3 different countries, teenagers, surviving loss and widowhood. Yet here we are today and there is a nasty virus that has brought the world to its […]

- [Trial & Error Unlimited](https://women-in-realestate.com/created-by/): I started creating a website called e-propertymatters.com during Covid-19 Lockdown. It was a time to walk and write and garden and reflect so – “Trial and Error Unlimited”  was around creating a website. I had never built a website before and after doing a brief course on WordPress some years ago, I put it in the “Too Hard Basket”. I began to re-visit my notes and look at other options like Wix, but as I am naturally drawn to hard work and punishment I settled down on creating something in the WordPress environment. The original course that I attended was probably […]
