tar us all with the same brush, there are a number of cowboys out there that certainly warrant the unfavourable remarks of the public.

Many of you out there are frustrated with real estate agents. It is a theme that is highlighted whenever there is anything negative reported about an agent in the news via social media channels.

The comments section is full of people wanting to air their opinions about us, and the suggestion that we sit somewhere alongside stagnant pond bacteria on the professional food chain. You know what, sometimes I have to agree with the comments. Although it certainly isn’t fair to

There is little wonder why many kiwis are having a crack at DIY sales. They simply don’t see where salespeople are adding value. Real estate agents need to be able to demonstrate their value. When you engage the services of a Bayleys salesperson, it soon becomes apparent that we understand this concept. Bayleys agents add value at every step of the transaction.

While the above opinions are on the extreme end of the scale, there is still a general feeling that we do very little to earn our commissions. Again, I can see the point people are trying to make. Some members of our profession take terrible photos, write short, non-descriptive property scripts and make little effort to list your property. Then they spend the duration of your marketing campaign telling you that your price (which is the

INDUSTRY COMMENT

Understanding real estate jargon Every industry is full of jargon and buzzwords that make no sense to anyone who’s not part of the club. Real estate is no different, which means it can be hard to get up to speed. Here’s a handy guide to some of the most common terms you’ll come across when buying or selling property.

Tender: If a property is for sale by tender, prospective buyers must submit confidential written offers by a set date.

Usually there is no minimum price, but properties are often listed with a BEO or BBO price. The seller can then choose the offer that is most acceptable to them, based on the price and any attached conditions. The most attractive tender is likely to be one that combines a good price with few conditions. Sellers are allowed to negotiate with any one or more of the tenderers received after tenders close.

Check your alarms With daylight saving ending this weekend, it is again a timely reminder to check your smoke alarms are in working order.

Let’s face it, any time is a good time to install or check your smoke alarms, and by choosing the right alarm and position in your home, it is the ideal DIY job.

There are two main types of smoke alarms – ionisation and photoelectric.

Ionisation alarms monitor the ions, or electrically charged particles.

Smoke particles enter the sensing chamber, changing the electrical balance of the air. The alarm will sound when the change in the electrical balance reaches a certain level.

Photoelectric alarms have a sensing chamber which uses a beam of light and a light sensor. Smoke particles entering the chamber change the amount of light that reaches the sensor, and the alarm sounds when the smoke density reaches a preset level.

Shane Woods Insideout Property Services of the home’s occupants the same way a driver of a car does with seatbelts, and as a minimum install smoke alarms in hallways Woodsy recommends installing a 10-year Li-ion smoke alarm in your home. no less the three metres from a bedroom Have a fire escape plan.

Ionisation alarms are cheaper and generally more responsive to flaming fires where photoelectric alarms are more responsive to fires that smoulder for a long period of time sleeping at night. So install where everyone and reduce nuisance alarms by cooking or in the house can be awakened by the sound of a smoke alarm. steam.

Home fatal fires, day or night, include from the wall. a large number of smouldering fires and a large number or flaming fires. You can not predict the type of fire you may have in your home or when it will occur. Any smoke alarm technology must perform for both types of fires in order to provide early warning day or night and whether you are asleep or awake.

For the best protection, it is better to install both types of alarms or a combination alarm (ionisation and photoelectric) in your home.

If you have ceilings that are pitched, install the alarm near the ceiling’s highest point.

Try avoiding cooking and bathroom areas due to steam and try to avoid log fires. If you are bent on installing in or near these areas consider alarms with hush buttons to reduce the sensitivity for a short period of time, which is surely better than removing the batteries.

Alarms that are hard-wired should have battery back-ups in case of a power outage, and should be installed by a qualified electrician.

If you sleep with bedroom doors closed, have your electrician install interconnected smoke alarms in each room so that when one alarm sounds, they all sound.
