WELCOME

Richard Young - CEO, Caporn Young Estate Agents

ALL CASHED UP WITH NOWHERE TO GO With the kids back at school and the holidays fading into memories, February is the month where people swing into action. It’s as if the population of Perth collectively realises the year is already a month in, and decides they better start getting stuff done.

At Caporn Young, we’ve seen this transpire in the influx of new buyers coming to us since the beginning of the month - people who recognise market conditions make it a near perfect time to sell their existing home and upgrade into a larger property or a more desirable neighbourhood. The majority of these buyers have finance pre-approved and are ready to act.

The problem? There’s a huge shortage of suitable listings out there.

That’s why we’re urging you to reach out to us if you have been thinking about selling. I know some people felt spooked by the negativity floating around in 2015, and are holding out putting their home on the market

until the time is “right”.

Now the pendulum has swung from over supply to under supply, I’m confident the right time is right now.

Yes, some sections of the market are doing it tough.

But a very different scenario is playing out in Caporn Young’s core areas - particularly middle to high-end properties near good schools and water.

The best way to determine how your property will perform in this market is to sit down with your local Caporn Young specialist for an obligation-free discussion.

We offer comprehensive appraisals free of charge, and are happy to answer all your questions. From there, we will customise a selling strategy that takes full advantage of the dynamics currently playing into the hands of the seller.

As with any cyclical market, this advantage will slip away as confidence picks up and more sellers jump on the bandwagon... So don’t delay in taking that first step!

COVER: A historic loft in the heart of Fremantle´s west end at 1/36 Henry Street, Fremantle. Contact Richard Young on 0412 385 056 for details.

PROFILE AUSTRALASIAN RECOGNITION FOR CAPORN YOUNG TOP AWARDS FOR SALES & PROPERTY MANAGEMENT Strong competition from around Australia and across the Tasman was no match for Caporn Young at the 10th annual Australasian Real Estate Results Awards held in Sydney this month.

“It’s in these tougher conditions that a great real estate team can really prove that it’s worth its weight in gold. While other companies were ducking for cover, Caporn Young was able to increase its market share.

The team came away with three major wins - Siobhan Micale was named Sales Performer of the Year, Sheridan Currie was named Property Management Performer of the Year and CY associate director Stefanie Dobro was inducted into the ARERA Hall of Fame.

“2016 is going to be another growth year for us,” he added.

“We are opening our fourth office and will continue our strong focus on coaching and mentoring, so that our team continues to be in the best possible shape to help our clients achieve their goals.”

Caporn Young was one of the only West Australian real estate agencies represented at the awards, and the team picked up nominations in a number of other categories, including Agency of the Year and Principal of the Year. With the industry was keen to learn more about what this agency does differently, and both Stefanie and Siobhan were invited to present at the Elevate Conference held in Sydney earlier the same day.

Sheridan Currie, who was recognised as one of the industry’s rising stars, agreed that the awards were not simply an individual achievement, but a reflection of the synergy and cohesion of the team as a whole.

Caporn Young chief executive Richard Young said the awards were based not only on strong financial performance, but also client satisfaction, commitment to going the extra mile and team work.

“The agents who were recognised at this year’s ARERA Awards are not only top performers, they are great leaders and collaborators, with a very strong team focus,” he explained.

Although this high-profile industry recognition is important, Richard added there was only one key performance indicator that truly mattered: Delighted clients!

“Looking back at the last year, I’m most proud of the outcomes we achieved for our clients, during a time when property values were generally declining, along with the number of transactions, and rental values,” he said.

“I love coming to work each day,” she said. “Our team is extremely close. We are like a big family and we all have each other’s back.

We all know that great teamwork creates great results, and without a supportive culture, we wouldn’t be able to achieve what we’ve been doing.”

Siobhan added it was this strong team mentality that allowed her to do more than clients dreamed possible.

In the last year, Siobhan surpassed several major milestones, including becoming the top selling agent in her core area of Willagee and securing the suburb’s first-ever $1,000,000 sale. She also sold three neigbouring properties together for $2,130,000 - generating significantly more profit than the three owners could have achieved if they sold individually.

“I couldn’t do what I do without my Client Service Manager Rebecca Bermudo, the Applecross admin team for extra support, my Principals and my fellow sales colleagues who are there for advice and support,” she said.

RENTAL REVIEW

Lee Fitzgerald - Licensee | Property Management Team Leader

STRATEGY PAYS OFF IN THE CURRENT MARKET The rental market has been getting a lot of bad press lately. But it’s not all bad news - at least not in my team!

We are seeing good demand for properties that are priced correctly, presented well and marketed with strategy. Recently, more than 20 people viewed a two-bedroom cottage in North Fremantle ($450/week unfurnished). And because everyone wants what someone else wants, many of our listings are now attracting multiple applications.

When a viewing is well attended, prospective tenants recognise

there’s competition and we’re seeing that translate into offers to pay more than the advertised rent. That’s exactly what happened recently at a unit on Airlie St in Claremont, which was leased in the midst of fierce competition for $35/week more than the asking price.

So while the market is a little more challenging than it once was, there’s no reason to give up on securing a quality tenant at a great weekly rate. If you’re feeling caught up in the doom and gloom, come in and find out what the team here could do to improve the performance of your investment.
