HOME BUYERS
GUIDE
MAT SUCKLING DIRECTOR OF RMS HOMES We have discussed many elements of buying - where to buy, how to obtain finance, what the impacts are of serviceability and a whole range of topics which are important for all first home buyers to know and understand. This week I want to talk about building. A lot of people get scared by the process but provided you have your eyes wide open you will not expect any surprises and be comfortable with the process. Obviously, I am very familiar with what we do at RMS! What our competitors do I have no clue. But I imagine some processes we have would be shared by others. A lot of disputes between clients and builders occur due to two fundamental and easily fixable reasons: communication and poorly prepared paperwork. As a rule of thumb, most builders aren’t necessarily very good customer service representatives. Most of the experiences people have with building, when it is negative, goes along the lines of “I could never get a hold of them”, “they said they would fix something and they never did” and other various issues on site where a client will ask a question and struggle to get an answer. The way I see it we have an obligation to be as transparent as possible. Whilst it is not important to know every detail of
construction, I believe it is crucial to let clients know as early as possible when there has been an issue on site, and how and when it will be rectified. At RMS we provide our clients with an update each and every Friday or Saturday afternoon (as trades tend to work on the weekend, so the job is always moving). It is important to set a standard in communication, and making clients feel comfortable knowing if they call their builder they will be greeted with a cheerful and attentive person on the other end. Secondly, paperwork is critical to delivering a successful build project. The reason most volume builders do not accommodate design or structural changes is because they cannot quality control the process in their major operations. At small to medium sized builder level it is more easily managed and supervised, making plan changes a little more feasible. However, the best bit of advice I can give when you are discussing your inclusions or build - whether it is with your sales representative or building supervisor, is to record everything on paper! He said / she said banter is no good. As my clients would know, I am exceptionally anal with paperwork! It may take a little time to get to site to make sure everything is correct, but it saves a lot of heartache and hassle later! Dot your I’s and cross your T’s. And then when you have done that do it again before any shovels are turned.

HUDSONS ESTATE AGENTS.
LANGMORE LANE OFFICE.
FRANK FACEY CELEBRATES CENTURY In the early 1900s when Frank Facey opened his real estate business in Dandenong, Berwick was a beautiful country town where weary travellers would stop to refresh their horses before heading out to East Gippsland. Frank Facey envisaged the popularity of the south-east would grow as families and industry alike realised the untapped potential in the picturesque hills and valleys; however, nothing could have prepared him for the extent of growth that was to come. By the late 1900s, three generations of Faceys had succeeded in driving the business forward. Frank Facey First National Real Estate Dandenong, Narre Warren and Mulgrave were all thriving businesses, Facey
Industrial-Commercial was leading the way in the Commercial and Industrial sector so, by 1994, the timing was perfect to expand into Endeavour Hills and Berwick. The first Berwick office on the corner of Langmore Lane and Gloucester Avenue introduced current day staff, Pater Watson (Director), Graeme Curtis and Elisabeth Gunness, as well as Greg Phillips, to the Facey extended family. Today, they offer an unparalleled level of experience as they draw on the decades of change which they have seen transform the area. By 1997 Frank Facey First National Real Estate moved offices to the current location in High Street, incorporating Hudson First National Real Estate. Hudson Real Estate had been operating
successfully in Berwick since 1950 and Bill Hudson was a much valued local icon. When Frank Facey First National merged with Hudson First National Real Estate, there was no holding them back. The stage was set for a future of continued growth and success. The south-east was moving forward at an unprecedented rate and Frank Facey First National Real Estate was in the driving seat. By 1996 Monash University had opened the Berwick Campus. Hospitals, schools and industry were thriving in the south-eastern corridor and the extension of the Monash Freeway was a welcome necessity. The district attracted an ever increasing
population, and continues to do so to this day, but against all odds, the township of Berwick has retained its old world charm and relaxed rural appeal. The tree lined avenues, 19th century architecture and extensive parklands continue to adorn the township, making it one of the most popular residential locations in the City of Casey. It’s hard to imagine what Frank P. Facey would think of the area now, but one thing is certain, his intuition was spot on when he opened that first real estate office in 1917. Next month, we continue to follow the major events and significant characters involved in the success of Frank Facey First National Real Estate/Neilson Partners First National Real Estate.
