RED Alert – Spring Summer 2024

Posted on by Hamish

Cooktown and surrounds property newsletter is out now!

We have just updated our listings and combined them in the above newsletter for some light reading. The last 12 months have been quite busy for our agency as we saw many listings transact, some of which had been with us for over 12 months, others listed then sold shortly after..

It has been rewarding to see how we have fared compared to our competitors and, more importantly, the market in general. Our market share is growing as is our market experience. Our online reviews and feed back on Google or realestate.com.au has been most rewarding and the very things that fuel our enthusiasm.

We now need to gain new listings to complement our current portfolio. Within our newsletter, we have improved space and pages for our Lux collection of listings. These beautiful properties offer vistas of the surrounding landscape with total privacy combined with easy access to all things Cooktown.

Over the past 5 years, our market share of commercial property management has also grown along with our sale portfolio of commercial properties available for sale. Many of these have simply hit the market due to the owners wishing to retire. In all cases, they offer the opportunity for the new owner to not only grow the business, but also expand the offerings.

Please enjoy the read, and do not hesitate to sing out if you have any questions. Likewise don’t forget to tell your friends about Real Estate Downunder.
