On May 1st 2017, the state of Victoria introduced a new document that must be prepared by all real estate agents with the purpose of being viewed by all potential buyers when buying residential real estate. This document is called 'The Statement of Information' and is there to protect buyers from a situation of underquoting a property to get buyers in the door. Today, we are going to find out how to understand 'The Statement of Information', and how to read between the lines.
Ash Marton is the Director of Ash Marton Realty, a boutique agency servicing the Mornington Peninsula. Ash and his team are a breath of fresh air when it comes to estate agents. Their marketing style is unique and their approach to selling is highly focused on making things easy for the consumer. Their Frankston office is a notable landmark for passers-by after its new renovation.
1. Can you tell our listeners what is a statement of information?
a). What are the rules about the comparable properties that have sold?
b). How does the 2 kilometre rule work? For instance, I'm in Somerville and our median range is around $720,000. Moorooduc is less than 2 kilometres away from my house, yet their median range is $1,700,00. You'd find the same in different pockets of Frankston and it would be the same for many pockets out there, as different pockets demand different prices.
2. Where can we find it when we look for a property for sale?
3. Does a vendor have to accept a price within the price range of that shown on the Statement of Information?
4. If a buyer puts in an offer above the highest dollar part of the price range, and the vendor doesn't accept it, what is the real estate agent obliged to do?
5. Are there any tricks to 'The Statement of Information' that could put a buyer in a better, more confident position to get their offer accepted?
6. Currently, we are in a seller's market. How should buyers be looking at 'The Statement of Information' when the market just keeps moving so fast?
7. What should a buyer's strategy be in a seller's market?
8. What's your best tip for buyers entering a hot market?
OFFER:
Bring an investment property to Ash Marton Realty & receive 3 months FREE leasing management if you mention the Real Estate Right podcast.

9. I went on a crime walking tour with freelance journalist and private historian, Michael Shelford early last year, and he showed us houses have a lot of notorious history to them, like where Squizzy Taylor got shot, which houses were renowned brothels 100 years ago, etc. Do people buy property in Fitzroy because they love the history or the urban legends behind the house?

A Residential Tenancy Agreement is a pretty important document, and quite daunting if renting a property for the first time. Today we are going through all the intricacies of signing a tenancy agreement with the lovely Sophie Lyon.
Sophie Lyon has worked in property management for more than 30 years, and is currently the Director and General Manager of Property Management at Jellis Craig Boroondara. Sophie is actively involved as a Director of the REIV and is an accredited trainer currently focusing on delivering training for the new Residential Tenancies Act.
1. Say I'm 20 something, my parents have never rented so they have no idea, and I want to rent my own place for the very first time in my life. Scary, but exciting at the same time. There is so much paperwork! What are some of the main things renters don't realise are their obligation when signing a tenancy agreement?
2. What's the go with light bulbs and smoke alarms now?
3. In your experience, what wording in the contract has been confusing to tenants?
4. What part of the contract should tenants pay special attention to?
5. What extra conditions can a landlord impose on a tenancy?
6. How often can my rent be increased?
7. How often can the property manager/landlord do a routine inspection?
a). If the property manager writes in the contract that it's more often, can we dispute that?
8. Can we negotiate any of the terms and conditions in the contract?
9. I've rented a few times in my life, and I've always chosen to go month-to-month rather than sign a new contract each year. I've found my rent rarely goes up if I do it this way, where friends who want the security of a 12 month or 2 year lease have their rent increased every time they sign a new lease. To me, month-to-month goes under the radar, as long as you pay every month. Is this still possible under the new legislation?

When you sell you home, more often than not you need to sign an exclusive sales authority with the agent you choose. Today we have one of our favourites, Frank Valentic, to go through all the important parts of the authority, so you know what to look out for when you go through the signing process.
Frank Valentic, from Advantage Property Consulting is a go getting, innovative property advocate that ensures the property deals are done property. He's the colourful character we all know and love from 'The Block'.

a). Do we have to sign a different one if we want to go to auction?
2. Is there only the REIV version, or do agents who don't belong to the REIV have their own version?
a). Can the other versions be questionable or do they get their non-REIV version from consumer affairs or another regulatory body?
3. What expenditures should we check over?
a). Should expenditures include GST?
4. What dates should we note?
5. So what happens if the agent has the property for a certain period of time, we aren't getting the prices we want and we have heard from friends that Joe Blogs down the road is a better agent, and we should use him. Can we cancel the agreement?
6. Are there any other types of authorities we should look out for? For instance, are there still general sales authorities where we can ask a number of agents to work on my property? What are the good and the bad of these types of authorities?
