WELCOME On behalf of our vendors and RE/MAX Northern, we would like to welcome you to our Open Home, and thank you for inspecting the property with us today.

I understand that buying a property is an important and sometimes stressful decision, and so we conduct our open houses in a way that is non-intrusive, to allow you as buyers, to take your time to look in detail without being pestered by an agent. When you are ready, feel free to approach me with any questions or additional information, I am here to assist you.

Please note that quality properties are selling relatively quickly, and so if you are interested in this home, please register your interest with me, or if you would like a copy of the sale contract I can email you that to you. It is imperative that you inform me of your interest, to allow me to keep you constantly informed of the progress of the sale – so you don’t miss out!

Should this not be the perfect property for you, I am more than happy to assist you with searching for your ideal property, and providing a neutral opinion on value for any other properties.

PRESENTING PRESENTINGTHE THEPROPERTY PROPERTY Boasting striking street appeal with amazing rooflines, this very stylish, rendered 4 bedroom and study contemporary home opposite tranquil tree studded river reserve parkland, offers opulent living and that definite WOW factor.

With ducted air-conditioning throughout (zoned & reverse cycle), this stunning home boasts a lovely seamless design flow joining the enormous indoor and outdoor living spaces. From the gourmet kitchen with its beautiful stone benchtops, you look through the huge open plan rumpus and family / meals areas with soaring high raked ceilings over satin finish timber floors, then step out onto the gorgeous and very private entertaining alfresco and timber decked sun areas, whilst all overlooking the formal in-ground pool with glass pool fencing and water-spillway feature.

The lounge is well separated at the front of the home, and there’s a large media room nearby which has soundproofing for its current use as a music / recording room. Both of these rooms have doors to close off for noise control when watching movies or playing music. Also featured downstairs is an enormous builtin study / home office, powder room with 3rd toilet, and generous built-in laundry (with long bench with cupboards and linen storage) near the double garage.

Upstairs are the 4 larger bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

The master-suite at the front of the home boasts an enormous customised walk-in robe, a luxurious ensuite with his and hers vanity basins, a separate toilet, and a massive private shower with two tap sets and water heads, while the bedroom opens through wide glass doors and privacy louvres onto a parent’s balcony overlooking the beautiful river reserve. The 3 larger kid’s bedrooms are set a little away from the parents for more privacy, and all feature built-in robes and ceiling fans, as well as enjoying the ducted air-conditioning.

These bedrooms are serviced by a large walk-in linen store, and an enormous main bathroom with a huge shower, a long and luxuriously deep spa bath and stone vanity.

The kitchen will impress the most critical gourmet chef, with long banks of drawers and cabinetry, including a 2 door, a plumbed fridge / freezer space, quality stainless steel appliances including a 5 burner gas cooktop and canopy rangehood set with a glass splash-back, all highlighted with expansive stone benchtops with a water-fall edged breakfast bar.

34 DRIVE 54 RIVERGUM THIESS DRIVE As previously mentioned, from the kitchen you overlook the family and meals areas, rumpus room, and look out through to the decked alfresco and pool areas, so that you can enjoy the company of others even when you’re preparing meals for family and guests. Outside, the decked alfresco is perfect for simply relaxing near the pool, or entertaining around the built-in BBQ listening to soft music through the ceiling speakers.

This area is quite private behind the established palms along the fence line, and can be screened further by a wide pull down blind. Set beside the large pool deck is an area of lush turf for the pets to run and a great cubby house for the kids to play. On the laundry side of the home is the drying courtyard, with a large watertank and pump (for topping up the pool) and garden shed. Then at the front of the home, the wide and level driveway leads to the double garage and offers space beside the home to park another vehicle or your boat or caravan.

This home offers so many amazing extras and spectacular design features. As you step through the wide timber / glass pivot front door, you’re invited into the expansive entry and hallway under dramatic high ceilings. The pleasant décor is subtle and modern, with satin finished timber flooring downstairs highlighted by gloss white plantation louvre shutters over almost all windows. The home also features stainless steel mesh security screens and an alarm system, a ducted vacuum system, feature pendant and downlighting throughout the home, glass illuminated light switches and much, much more. This premier location in one of Eatons Hill’s finest pockets adjoins tranquil river reserve, and walking paths follow along the banks of the South Pine River to large parks and the Eatons Hill Hotel as well as all that Albany Creek offers. It’s only a 5-10 minute walk to the 357 & 359 CBD buses and various school buses, and a few minutes drive to the Eatons Hill shopping centre, primary school, and kindy.

Discerning buyers seeking space, design and quality that boasts that ultimate WOW factor simply must inspect this property - it certainly will not disappoint!

HOW TO MAKE AN OFFER When you are ready to make an offer, tell the real estate agent, and give the relevant details, ie: your “price”, “deposit amount” and the date when you would like to take possession/settlement.

Also add in any special conditions you require your offer to be subject to, including building and pest inspections, finance approval etc.

The real estate agent will then draft up the contract, explain it’s contents to you, and provide instructions as to how to correctly sign and initial the respective pages. They will allow you to have your solicitor / conveyancer proof the contract before you sign it and present it back to the agent.

The agent may even commence negotiations based on your verbal offer.

Depending on the circumstances the vendor will: • Accept the offer. If they accept the offer you have a contract based on the terms agree to.

• Reject the offer. If they reject the offer without coming back to you then you have the option of resubmitting another offer. (Beware of offers which are too low and offend an owner, the emotions involved may prevent them wanting to work with someone they feel is trying to “steal” their home).

• Countersign your offer. They may countersign your offer. In which case you have the same three options (accept, reject, countersign).

Contract Signed & Dated: As soon as the contract has been signed and dated by both parties, the real estate agent (or their company) will date the Contract (“Contract Date”) and forward the originals of the contract to the vendor’s and purchaser’s solicitors. The agent will also ensure that the vendor and purchaser are provided with a signed and dated copy for their records.

Cooling Off Period: This is a 5 business day period which starts when the property is Under Contract, where the purchaser can terminate the property for any reason, but will need to pay a termination penalty equal to 0.25% of the purchase price. The Contract does not become unconditional until all stated conditions have been satisfied (eg: building & pest inspection, finance approval, sale of existing property etc). This can take from 7-14 days or longer, depending on the conditions and what timeframes have been agreed to between both parties.

Insurance: Please note, the property will pass to your risk from 5pm on the next business day, after the contract date. This means that you must get insurance on the property.

Valuation/Finance: Don’t be alarmed if your bank or lending institution requests a valuation by a registered property valuer. This is normal practice in all states of Australia especially if you’re borrowing more than 80% of the purchase price of the property. The Valuation Inspection will be arranged by your bank/lending institution within 14 days of the dated contract.

Professional inspections: Depending on the property, there are a range of inspections to consider, including building reports, pest inspections, and pool inspections. Make sure the people doing the inspections are licensed and carry adequate insurance cover.

Building & Pest Inspections: In many cases you should be able to receive verbal feedback immediately after the inspection has been completed. A written report should follow and may include the estimated cost of any major repairs, and advice on preventing future problems. The building inspector should report on the following: • the structural integrity of all buildings • water damage, including outside penetration & potential internal leaks • ventilation, skylights, air conditioning, insulation • the general condition of paintwork & plaster • the condition of the tiles on the floors & in bathrooms • the condition of the roof, guttering and downpipes • condition of surrounding concrete driveways & paths, fencing, retaining walls, paving • electrical – including safety issues • pool & pool fencing • all evidence of past & current pest activity that may pose a threat to the property, such as termites (white –ants) & borers. Some inspectors have access to the latest technology & have the ability to check behind walls, using thermal imaging cameras.

MORE REAL ESTATE INFORMATION PREPARING YOUR HOME FOR SALE

SHOULD I BUY OR SELL FIRST?

This guide will share the little things that help attract buyers to your home, assisting you to sell faster and at a better price. With the key tips in this guide, and a little effort, you can make your home stand out for your buyer!

The prospect of selling your home before you have established where you are going to move to may seem daunting at first. But the truth is a huge number of home hunters find the property they want within a relatively short time. So don’t be afraid to sell first – then buy. This means you will have your financial arrangements already taken care of and you have the freedom to make an offer knowing you are in a strong position to negotiate on price and time.

An effective way of enhancing your home for visual impact in the market is to walk around your home, inside and out and be critical of what you see.

It’s a good idea to have an impartial person with you for an honest opinion.

Your aim should be to ‘present’ your home in such a way that it looks its absolute best.

Consider the best features of your home and most importantly put yourself in the buyer’s shoes. If you notice any objectionable features then you can be sure that the buyer will too.

Remember the 4 R’s

“Repair, Revamp & Reap the Rewards” Ask me for a free copy!

There are two major financial considerations to buying before selling.

If you make an offer on a property before your house is even on the market, the seller of the property you want is less likely to be willing to negotiate on the price or the terms.

Selling your house as a condition of contract to buy another usually means you have very limited time in which to complete a sale for your existing property.

This means you can be under pressure to accept a low market offer.

Ask me for a free copy!

WANT $500?

If you refer my services to local relatives, friends & neighbours about to list their home for sale, I will pay you $500 if their property sells with me!

I WILL PAY $500 EACH FOR MULTIPLE PROPERTY REFERRALS. ONE REFERRAL PAID PER PROPERTY.

Rest assured, I will look after each referral with discretion & professionalism for their best result!
