Marketing Strategy
We take the time to understand your personnel needs and tailor the optimal marketing solution to meet your unique strategy and budget We understand when it comes to marketing your property that there is no one size that fits all our team are one of the best in the business working with our in-house marketing and graphic design team, we will target the right audience across the most effective channels. Our cohesive brand identity will elevate the style and story of your home. Our unbiased advice allows us to match the right marketing to your property needs which will deliver a successful outcome.
When selling a property, there are several expenses that sellers often forget about, which must be considered when determining the sale price. One of these expenses is marketing. A buyer can’t purchase a home they don’t know is up for sale, marketing your property is a crucial part of the sales process. Let’s look at why marketing is so important, how to budget for it, and the value that you receive from this expense.
A Guide to Budget?
Our competitors will tell you this, after you have researched the current market and established an asking price for your property, you should budget to spend between 0.5% and 1% of the value of your home on marketing. For example, if your asking price is $800,000 – you should expect to spend roughly $4,000-$8,000. This price range will allow you to utilise as many or as few marketing techniques that will suit your sale. This should be use as a guide only. With Tyme Real Estate we are very different.
What Does Marketing Entail?
You may be wondering where the marketing costs are going, after all, up to 1% of your asking price can appear to be a large number when added to your other sales expenses. Some of the most popular and significant marketing avenues include.
Listing on websites such as Domain and realestate.com.au
Print and social media advertisements
Signage placed on your property
Flyers and brochures that are printed and distributed at the open house each week.
Professional photos for the printed materials
Your marketing strategy should include any tactics that will showcase your property in its best light, and also help you to stand out from other homes in the area. As part of working with an agent for your marketing strategy, you may also have the benefit of reaching their database of potential buyers. My agency will send “New Property” emails to their database before your first open house. if your property is in high demand, you may be able to get away with spending closer to 0.5% or less on marketing. More expensive or more obscure homes will likely benefit from spending extra on their marketing campaign. Consider your property type when choosing your marketing budget.

Rent a property
Whether you are looking to rent a home for the first time or moving into a new rental property, this may seem like a simple task. Once you start searching and inspecting them, you will know how tedious it can be to find a rental property. We understand the value of your time and money and offer quick and reliable property rental services for you. We make the process easy with an online application form to start the process quickly. Once we receive your application, a team member will contact you to explain the terms and conditions, and what is involved next. Contact us today to get started with the renting process. We guarantee that you will be satisfied with our services. We aim to earn the right to be the first choice for Rentals.
Renting is on the rise in Australia, with approximately 6.3 million people in the private rental market, the highest rate since 19601. There is good reason for this trend. There is the issue of skyrocketing house prices and buyer affordability. Also, not everyone wants to own a property, take on the pressure of a mortgage or to be locked into living in the same property in the same neighbourhood. They want the flexibility and lifestyle benefits that can come with renting.
Renting offers a number of key benefits:
Easier to make changes if you are not locked into a home loan.
Better financial stability – you clearly know your monthly expenses and can plan for them.
No maintenance or repair costs – the owner of the property is typically responsible.
Affordability – renting enables people to enjoy a lifestyle in an area they may not be able to afford to buy in
Flexibility to move – if you don’t like the neighborhood or if you want a different lifestyle, you can easily move once your lease expires.
Ability to diversify your investments rather than putting all your savings into paying your home loan.
No market risk – as you don’t own the property, the impact of property market fluctuations will not impact your long-term finances.
Access to amenities – many apartment/units rental properties offer additional amenities like pools and gyms.
Save for a home deposit.
Understanding The rental picture and requirements
If you want to rent a property in Australia, you need to be prepared for a tough competition. Many other renters will be viewing the same apartment as you and hoping to get it. How can you stand out from the crowd and secure your dream home? The answer is simple: have a stellar rental application ready to go. One that shows your rental history, employment and background checks in a clear and verified online profile. Don’t wait until you find a property to fill out the forms. You might miss the opportunity while others are faster. Having a complete profile is the key to success. Here are some tips on how to create one that will impress any landlord.
Rental History
Your rental history is very important for getting approved for a rental property. It shows your current and past rental details such as the address, lease dates, rent amount and owner/manager information. You should also have a rental reference from the previous property manager to add to your renter profile. This makes it easier for the new property manager to check your application. They want to see that you paid the rent on time, took care of the property and were cooperative on issues like repairs or inspections. A good rental report can help you get approved, while a bad one can hurt your chances. You should also know what is in your rental report, so you don’t get any shocks.
Employment & Income
Your ability to pay rent is very important, as landlords will often look for tenants with a steady and reliable income. Adding some recent pay slips and bank statements to your application will show proof of employment and also calm any worries a landlord may have about unpaid rent. Remember the property manager or landlord may call your employer to confirm you are still working there. So, letting them know is a good idea.
Supporting Documentation
Proof of Identity - You will need 100 points of Identification to prove you are who you say you are. They must be in digital format and in some cases, legally witnessed and stamped. Documents may include:
Photo identification – Driver's licence / passport / proof of age card
Centrelink statement
Medicare card
Find the best matching property
Getting a rental application approved is one thing. Finding the property that suits your needs is another. Make a list of what you want in a rental home. Sure, a fancy design and a luxurious spa would be nice. But don’t let that distract you from your more realistic needs. Like the size of the home, the location and how close it is to public transport. Working from home might be here to stay, so you might need a rental property with a home office if that’s your case. And after a long day working on the computer, a nice deck might be your thing to relax with a cold drink. Do you have a dog or cat? You will need to check the pet policy if you want to bring your furry friends along. It’s up to you, but knowing what fits your lifestyle should make the task much easier. And don’t forget to dress well on the day of the inspection and be polite. Property managers and landlords will see this as a sign of responsibility and will increase your chance of success DISCLAIMER - The information provided is for guidance and informational purposes only and does not replace independent business, legal and financial advice which we strongly recommend.

Real Estate Terms
Key Real Estate Terms every buyer and seller should know Real estate agents and other property professionals can sometimes seem to be speaking a different language. If you’re confused, don’t worry. We lift the lid on the property jargon to explain what these common terms actually mean.
Property appraisal
A property appraisal involves a real estate agent inspecting a home to ascertain its real market value. The agent will usually do this by comparing the features of the property to comparable homes that have recently sold in the area. They’ll also use their knowledge of the number of buyers in the market and the current level of demand for particular features and types of homes. A property appraisal is different from a valuation. A valuation is an assessment banks and other lenders often carry out when assessing a loan application. It’s an independent and analytical process that doesn’t take into account factors such as buyer depth or street appeal, but only the likely minimum value of the property if it were sold on the market today. For this reason, valuations often arrive at a property value that’s below that of an appraisal.
Sales method
When a real estate agent talks about sales methods, they’re referring to the process they’ll run to sell your home. There are two main sales methods: auction and private treaty.
In Brisbane West, the predominant method of selling homes is through private treaty. This entails listing a home for sale at a specified price, commonly denoted as "offers over" or "offers from". Unlike auctions, there's no set deadline for the sale. Prospective buyers are encouraged to submit offers and engage in negotiations with the real estate agent until a final price is agreed upon.
In an auction, the property is listed for sale on a specified date, time, and location. Before the auction begins, the seller sets a 'reserve' price, which is the minimum amount they are willing to accept. During the auction, prospective buyers publicly bid and submit their best offers. Once the reserve price is met, the property is deemed 'on the market'. The highest bidder at that stage (before the auctioneer's hammer falls) wins the auction and acquires ownership of the property.
There are other methods for sale besides these, too, including expressions of interest, where buyers are asked to submit their ‘best and final’ offer before an agreed deadline. However, these are now becoming common in the Brisbane West market as sellers are demanding the higher price.
Days on Market
(DOM) represents the average duration between listing a property and accepting an offer. It serves as a key indicator of market competitiveness, particularly in regions like is some parts of Darling Downs where private treaty sales are prevalent. In major cities, similar insights are often gauged through 'auction clearance rates. Over the past few years, Brisbane West has consistently maintained low DOM. In fact, we've consistently recorded the shortest DOM among all regional areas in Australia.
Contract for Sale
In Queensland, there exists a standard contract for sale, which both the buyer and seller will typically sign after the buyer's offer has been accepted by the seller. This offer can be communicated verbally or in writing.
The contract delineates terms such as the seller's price, the timing of the deposit payment (usually upon contract binding), and the settlement date. Typically, contracts for sale in Queensland include a five-day cooling-off period, allowing the buyer to retract from the contract within this period. However, this provision does not apply to auctions.
Conditional offer
The initial phase of the sales process typically commences when the buyer presents an offer, and the seller agrees to it. Nevertheless, there are instances where a buyer may submit a 'conditional offer', contingent upon specific conditions being fulfilled. These conditions commonly involve securing financing, obtaining a satisfactory building and pest inspection, or selling an existing property. When making a conditional offer, it's essential to ensure that these conditions are explicitly outlined in the sales contract.
Settlement
Settlement, also known as settlement day, marks the official transfer of property ownership. This process involves the buyer completing the payment for the remaining balance on the property, receiving the title, and obtaining the keys. Whether you're the buyer or seller, physical presence at settlement is not mandatory. All arrangements are typically coordinated by solicitors, real estate agents, and lenders, and executed electronically.
Settlement in most occurs four to six weeks after the sales contract becomes binding.
Buyer’s agent
In the current competitive market, many prospective buyers are opting to enlist the expertise of a buyer's agent to facilitate their property acquisition. Referred to as a buyer's advocate as well, these professionals undertake tasks such as searching for suitable properties, conducting inspections, making offers, and negotiating with real estate agents on behalf of the buyer. This approach can potentially save buyers both time and money.
There are so many more
