January Horror Stats

kim — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 23:26:53 +0000

Lets get over the January stats and move on. As Chet Holmes says pure pigheaded discipline and determination is required to achieve the sales targets required no matter what the market. The REA Act allows us to revisit our business, reassess, implement new and innovative strategies to achieve results in the current market, and to build new relationships together with alliances. This will help to settle a higher percentage of contracts and not allow them to fall over. We all only make money on deals that go unconditional and settle. It is our practice to help you keep the deal going and get paid. Positive selling and success

For everyone who lives in the Tauranga area and has any illegal structures which may have been erected prior to 1 July 1992, or for Building Permits which have not been signed off here is the best way to safe guard your Agreement for Sale and Purchase from being cancelled due to a Building Consent not being issued by the Tauranga City Council.

You will need to obtain a Safe and Sanitary Report, the process is as follows:

There are two registered Accredited Inspectors approved by the Tauranga City Council they are Frans Boucken (Building Surveying Services) and Ross Hamilton (New Zealand Building Certifiers). Either appointed Inspectors will need to inspect the property in order to prepare a Report which is to be lodged with the Council.

You will be required to pay the cost of the inspection together with a fee of $250.00 to the Council for the Report to be lodged on the property file together with an additional fee of $250.00 if you require a letter of confirmation.

Being proactive can save you a lot of grief getting your Agreement for Sale and Purchase confirmed unconditional.
