Stronger regulated realty call THE Real Estate Institute of Queensland is calling for stronger measures to protect consumers, including compulsory professional development (CPD) for real estate practitioners.

In a statement to media, Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) CEO Antonia Mercorella says she wants CPD linked to the renewal of real estate registration certificates and licences, saying it will deliver real benefits to consumers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We support the introduction of a statutory CPD requirement for licence and registration renewal as part of an effort to enhance consumer protection,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Ms Mercorella said the REIQ had long been an advocate for mandatory CPD. â&#x20AC;&#x153;REIQ-accredited agencies have to undertake CPD to maintain their membership and we believe the time has come for this requirement to be extended more widely in the profession,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complex legislative landscape and highly litigious society, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s naive to assume that initial training to obtain a licence or registration will suffice without further ongoing training.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will ensure consumers are only dealing with real estate practitioners who have up to date knowledge of legislative and industry changes.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ongoing CPD is more important than ever in the current environment, as the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real estate professionals adapt to the new Property Occupations Act which came into force in December 2014.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now up to the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political leaders to legislate on behalf of consumers to make this

The REIQ is calling for compulsory professional development for real estate agents, plus higher standards when entering the industry. each year, making it crucial to the success of the overall state economy.

She said keeping up to date with rapidly changing laws and requirements was critical from a consumer protection and risk management perspective. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the value of Queenslandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residential real estate climbing towards $1 trillion, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vital that industry professionals maintain their knowledge to minimise the risk of errors, claims and litigation,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Queenslandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political leaders rightly stress the importance of training, education and professional development but CPD

Selling a home is about more than a great looking advertisement, it's about creating an emotional connection between property and buyer.

Connected to the power AN ANALYSIS of 850,000 homes has found properties advertised in print media sell faster and for more money.

and they will look at the open for inspection timetables and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go along and have a look.â&#x20AC;?

Core Logic studied the sales history of the homes and found the average sales price increased, the time spent on market decreased and the home was more likely to sell when the marketing campaign included print media advertising.

Shane McCauley agreed the internet could add confusion to the buyer when property hunting.

Richardson and Wrench Noosa principal Peter Butt said it was a combination of marketing media that helped secure a sale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a home owner, you need everything,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need to have a sign out the front of your property. You need to be on the internet and you need to be in newsprint. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a combination of all mediums.â&#x20AC;?

According to Mr Butt, advertising only on the internet doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t engage emotionally with a buyer, a key factor when selling a home or selling for the price your home deserves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get more exposure on the internet, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably right, but these buyers may not be the ones that will pay the right price,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have access to so much information that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confusing and very often, it's price driven with no emotional connection. You need a buyer to come and inspect the property. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Print media is about the person sitting at a coffee shop somewhere after theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a morning swim or walk and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having a coffee and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re flicking through the newspaper. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re passive buyers. They may not be actively looking. But they may be concerned more with the lifestyle aspect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, they see a property visually, nicely presented and they imagine themselves in it

VIEW: Saturday, from 11am to noon

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes they see information about â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;median priceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which can worry them,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We might know that Sunrise is different to Sunshine which is different to Noosaville - but when buyers look at the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;median priceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; it covers many markets within markets - not just one that is generically â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Noosaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and it can lead to misconceptions on price.â&#x20AC;?

Mr McCauley said many buyers then became unsure about the value of a home or based their price expectations on the median home value of the suburb as a whole. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For example there are parts of Noosa where one side of the street will have water frontage and be worth more, while a dry, non-waterfront block is worth less, but the median price wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reflect that,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The Core Logic research is the first from a non-newspaper publisher that provides statistical evidence of the value of print.

The data has been collated to create an industry service called Media Maximiser to help agents better structure a media campaign to maximise the price of their clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home.

The research also found when newspaper underpinned a campaign, the home could spend up to seven days less on the market, and the average price for a home increased, with Sydney reporting a 5.1 per cent increase or $41,147.

Cricket in the pink THE Tewantin cricket oval will turn pink on 21 February when locals get together for the Betty Blockbuster in support of breast cancer research.

Local real estate principal Rosemary Callaghan is the driving force behind the Pink Stumps Day cricket match that aims to raise funds for the McGrath Foundation.

Local businesses are jumping on board to help raise muchneeded funds with prizes such as a Gibson’s catering voucher,

jewellery from Pandanus Culture and two nights accommodation at Andari Apartments all up for grabs on the day.

Plus a Michael Clarke signed bat, kindly donated by Sportspower, will also be raffled off on the day.

Local businesses are welcome to donate prizes or offer sponsorship for the community event, with all funds raised going to the McGrath Foundation.

Rosemary said the Pink Stumps

Day Betty Blockbuster cricket match is a tribute to her late mother.

“I have always watched cricket and the McGrath Foundation is close to my heart because my mother was a big cricket fan and I lost my mother to breast cancer,” she said.

Any local businesses wanting to come on board can phone Rosemary on 0419 236 133 or email rose@rosecallaghanrealty. com.au.

Real estate principal Rosemary Callaghan is the driving force behind the Pink Stumps Day.
