Gordon Davies Real Estate is proud to announce a new generation in real estate with two new additions to their sales team.
Alison Sayer (nee Davies) has finally decided to join her father in sales. Alison has experienced the real estate industry from the ground up. Her first part-time job was working in her dad’s real estate business at the age of 15. Throughout the years she has worked in all aspects of the business, developed a passion for property and enjoys the many opportunities the industry provides to meet and help people.
Having spent her childhood growing up in the leafy, quiet streets of Dalkeith, Nedlands and Claremont and now living in Swanbourne, Alison has extensive knowledge of the area and its people. With a Bachelor of Science from the University of Western Australia and diverse career in business marketing, management, digital technology and design she has inherited Gordon’s work ethic and honest approach. She is warm, personable and able to create and sustain relationships with people from all walks of life.
Alison’s experience in digital technology has brought a new focus to the business by enhancing customer relationships and marketing using the latest technologies.
Claire Young is a local sales consultant with a wide knowledge of the Western Suburbs. Having grown up in the wheatbelt and helping on the family farm she learned the importance of hard work and patience. Claire graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce and has previous experience working in government providing her with a good foundation for commercial transactions and dealing with regulations.
Claire knows the Western Suburbs well having lived in the area over the last 30 plus years. She has completed a number of renovations and has experienced managing investment properties. Claire values honesty and open communication. She puts her clients first and focuses on their goals.
Alison and Claire are benefitting from the wisdom that Gordon has gained from over 50 years in the industry and applying a fresh approach. It signals the start of a new era for what has been a highly successful real estate business selling property in Dalkeith, Nedlands and surrounding suburbs.
An individual has been unsuccesful before the Australian Appeals Tribunal (AAT) in aruging that he should not have to pay Capital Gains Tax on the sale of a Townhouse he owned jointly with his son because, he argues, he was only holding his interest in the property to protect his inexperienced son from selling it on a whim.
The individual had purchased the property for his adult son to live in and transferred the property to himself and his son as joint tenants. After living in the townhouse for a few years , the son moved out to another property. The townhouse was then sold and all of the funds were used to pay down the mortgage on a new property.
The individual argued that he received no proceeds from the sale and that he held his interest in the property in trust for his son, or alternatively, that an exemption under the CGT law should apply.
The AAT did not accept the arguments and held that as a joint tenant the individual was liable to CGT on 50 per cent of the net capital gain on the sale.
The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) has denied an individual’s claim that an exemption from capital gains tax (CGT) should apply to a property that he and his ex-de facto partner had sold. The individual has purchased land in 2002 with his then partner, and construction of a house on the land commenced in April 2004. However, the couple ended their relationship in September 2004.
Despite this, the individual argues that they had moved into the house in around May or June 2005 to meet the requirements under the law to sell the property without being subject to CGT.
The AAT found that the evidence before it failed to establish that the house became the individual’s main residence “as soon as practicable” after construction was completed, and failed to establish that the house continued to be his main residence for at least three months after that. In this case, both requirements had to be met in order for the exemption to apply.
Be cautious of a sales representive that provides you with a list of sales in a suburb inferring they sold them all (often they have sold few of those listed).
Sales representatives that brag about quick sales or having received 3 to 10 offers on a property at the first open, or in the first week, or before advertising, or off market – as if this indicates they are super salespersons. Almost always this indicates that have underpriced your property.
Sales representatives who recommend that sellers auction their properties even though the property has no outstanding features that would make it highly desirable to several cash buyers – remember, it is hard enough to get one cash buyer for most properties who will pay a reasonable market price let alone several cash buyers to compete. Ask yourself if they lack the will to work out a value on your property or if they are intending to use the lack of bids to convince you to sell your property under market value.
Have you been provided with a list of ALL recent sales in your suburb in your anticipated price range or just a few at the lower OR higher end?
Does the representative you list with do all the inspections, home opens and negotiations on your property or do they delegate?
Agents are paid by sellers to negotiate the best, fairest price for the seller (not the buyer). If a buyer wants an agent to negotiate the lowest possible price for them they have to pay the agent to act as a buyers agent for them. An agent cannot act for both the buyer and the seller on a property. It is illegal to take a commission from both parties. If an agent sells another agents listing in conjunction, the agent is a sub-agent to the listing agent and is acting for the seller.
