After months of painstaking inspections, tireless efforts into cleaning to ensure our home has the 'sparkle', it finally looks like we have sold our home. Although our own personal sparkle seems to be dissolved with it.
It truly is incredible, the energy that is exhumed both physically and emotionally with the entire process. But, the light is at the end of the tunnel now and for once, it does not appear to be an on coming train!
Now, as Christmas Holidays loom upon us, the jolly fat man in a suit will be visiting the family. Merely weeks before we up and move outta here into a new home in Palm Beach. The whole purpose of our move is to be close to the beautiful sand and surf..
It is yet again, going to be a trying time, but at least there will be kidlets laughter to keep smiles on our faces while we face the next daunting task... Packing to move..But that will be a story for another day.

Selling a home ARRGGHH
You would think that as a seasoned sales person with over 12 years experience under my belt, that I would find selling my own property a breeze.. but that could not be further from the truth!
Fortunately, I have hired my business partner from Ray White Palm Beach to handle the buyer inspections and feedback etc.
What I didn't count on was the undue stress of actually preparing the house for sale and the inevitable cleaning for inspections and open homes.
It is far from a breeze! Between the tedious working hours for my wife and I, cleaning and mowing etc is the last thing on our agenda. Add a fruitloop of a dog into the mix and then an 8 year old and 5 year old... every time you put something away three things come back out. As well as the 'I'm hungry ,can I have a sandwich' and the ''can I have a drink please' pipe up mid way during a patio hose down, it's a wonder we haven't gone to the loony bin yet, though I do hear Hotel California playing already...
I take my hat off to all my clients that have endeared this process week in and week out. All in the name of a sold sign out the front.. Lets hope it's all over soon.
Till next time

It's time to take the plunge
After months of deliberation, I have finally taken the plunge to write a regular blog about the wonderful world of real estate. I am based here on the ever beautiful Gold Coast in sunny (most of the time) Queensland. The slogan beautiful one day, perfect the next reigns true nine times out of ten, pouring down rain otherwise.
My background? I am a senior sales consultant with twelve years experience in the facets of residential property sales. Working for Ray White in Palm Beach, we have quite a large team with some fantastic dynamics due to the diversity of the staff. We all motivate each other, support each other and are friends as well as colleagues.
I am consistently looking at new ways to improve, albeit personally or business wise. I guess thats what prompted me to begin writing. Sometimes writing can describe thought patterns easier than the spoken word can.
Stay tuned, I will get my first work based blog going very soon. Till then, ciao and thanks for dropping by!
Meanwhile, I can be found on Facebook!
