E-NEWS UPDATE: 08/03/2013

Hi there!

How exciting to be back into it after an awesome Euro-trip.......I feel refreshed, inspired and ready to do deals! haha! Up and running are some extraordinary properties that I am extremely proud to be representing and along with these amazing homes I will be sharing a few happy snaps from the trip over the next couple of weeks. Starting today (at the end of the post - business before pleasure!)

Last posting I left you with a little teaser and those who know the deep waterfront precinct inside out would probably have been able to guess which property it was. There are very few so iconic, so it wasn't too hard to put it together. Now I can say a little more:


 17 Minyama Island, Minyama Waters
Private Auction will be held on-site Sunday 14th of April at 11am  
An extraordinary and luxurious Island residence presents a once in a life time opportunity, for very seldom does a property of this quality and position become available for sale. The sellers instructions are to take the property to auction, but all attendees and prospective interested buyers must be prior registered for it is not a public auction. Should you require more details on this stunning property you can view it on – www.waterfrontproperties.com.au
Please do not hesitate to call me to discuss the property in more detail.
 
 
 

MARKET UPDATE:

7 Minyama Island, Minyama Waters
SETTLED
Sensational result for both seller and buyer and I would like to extend my gratitude to the seller for having appointed me as their agent and having the confidence, patience and trust in me whilst marketing their stunning Island residence. Congratulations to the new owner who without a doubt will totally love his new home.
 
16 Island Court, Minyama Waters

Great auction campaign with multiple registered buyers. Congratulations to my client on the successful sale of her property and wishing her all the very best at her new waterfront home at Pelican Waters.

E-NEWS UPDATE: 01/02/2013

Here is some very exciting news for the ELITE lifestyle properties team:
I am pleased to announce that Rob Keam has joined ELITE lifestyle properties. Rob has been in real estate for the past 20 years and comes with great knowledge and understanding and with an incredible database of contacts that he has created over those years. Rob is unique in the sense of his keen interest in diversity and will be able to offer to all of our client’s insight into major development opportunities locally and Queensland wide. Rob will also continue to apply himself to looking after his past clients who own water or beachfront properties and will mainly concentrate his focus on the Mooloolaba canal region.
Julie Coffey has been with us now for over 2 years and simply continues to do solid business on Kawana Island where she has an approximate 50% market share. This is now Julie’s 12th year selling on Kawana Island and I have no doubt there will be many more years to come.
I’ve been operating in this area now for over 20 years and we will continue to provide our clients and buyers with the highest standard of service. My philosophy in business has been to remain a boutique style agency and to be hands on at all possible times. With many challenges and changes over the past 5 – 6 years this is exactly what we have achieved and we’ll continue to do so for we simply love what we do. I believe our results and loyalty from our clients are the proof of how we operate.

E-NEWS UPDATE: 18/01/2013

Hi all,
 
If you are reading this without clicking on my usual link - I AM IMPRESSED! Goes to show that you have come to know that info about the market and scheduled open homes will be here every Friday. It has been an absolute manic week which is why the bulk e-mail hasn't reached you today. I am currently finalising a couple of deals and have viewed several new properties gearing up for the market so it has been back to back meetings which I hope to have more details for you by the end of next week.
 
OPEN HOUSE THIS WEEKEND:
16 Island Court, Minyama Waters
Auction on-site 2nd February 2013 at 2pm
Open home this Saturday the 19th of January from 11.00am - 11.45am.
This immaculately kept, character filled home is entry level into one of the most sought after positions in the deep waterfront precinct. Island Court offers exclusivity with parkland in the centre adding to its appeal. The property proudly sits on a large 1041m2 block fanning out to a massive 26.8meter waterfront.
 
 
 
 

THE LAST NOTE:
Well it's already mid-January, most of us are full-on back into work if there was ever a break! So before we put holiday dreaming behind us, lets just ease on into the weekend. We live in one of the most beautiful places on earth and although this following clip is a tribute to the Maldives there is no reason why we can't create a little bit of that feeling right here at home! Enjoy! and I hope to see you at the open house. Mark

E-NEWS UPDATE: 11/01/2013

It has been an incredible finish to 2012 and start to 2013 with over $15Million of sales transactions in the last 5 weeks. In addition, I have appraised several new properties that are gearing up for the market and will be marketed under the Auction process - very exciting!
 
I was hoping to be advising of at least 3 properties under contract at the moment however due to this time of year it is taking a little bit longer than usual, so I will have to keep you waiting at least another week for the details.

Hey we made it! Festivus has been and gone, pretty much in the blink of an eye but that doesn't go without saying -
HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!
All the best for for a fantastic 2013 and good luck with all those new year resolutions!

To be quite honest it didn't really stop for us and I have been negotiating right throughout the last two weeks with a few big deals already done and currently finalising a couple more. That being said we still managed to squeeze in a bit more pool-time with the kids and catching up with friends - so its all good.

Firstly, I am absolutely thrilled that:
7 Minyama Island, Minyama Waters. Asking $ 7.25 Million is now
SOLD!
 Congratulations to the new owners for securing this magnificent property and landmark position. Both the seller and buyer are both ecstatic with the result and it was an absolute highlight to negotiate such a rare and exclusive property where all parties are excited with the outcome.
