Absent Landlord Sells Up
Floorplan
sold
After a very successful start to his career in the year 2008, at a time when property prices were on a downward spiral, Jamie bucked the trend, selling over forty homes in his first twelve months, while others were still contemplating how to react to the market.
“I finished my first year and thought, wow that was a good start, but there was something missing. I didn’t feel as great as I thought I would”
And so started a journey for Jamie to understand what success really looked like for him.
“Ten years on and I look back and can see where my why has come from.”
Jamie soon worked out that just selling a lot of houses wasn’t a measure for success. A close mentor advised Jamie. “It doesn’t matter how many properties you sell or what awards you win, you still need to be able to put your head on the pillow at night and sleep well.”
Jamie is now embarking on the next stage of his career with a clear focus on growth and mentorship for others.
“I found that there are so many factors when meeting your clients needs and expectations and have not been happy until a deep understanding of what’s important to them is met. If you make the relationship the centre of your why, then everything else just falls into place”
There is no doubt that Jamie could sell snow to Eskimo’s, but it’s relationship that drives Jamie’s energy and passion for real estate.
Take the time to talk to Jamie about your next move. It will most likely be a conversation worth having.
A move for work, with the prospect of future opportunities has led this accidental landlord to finally make the decision to sell their family home. It is not hard to imagine the perfect life in this cute 1950s bungalow, surrounded by leafy parks and some of the most sought after Auckland schools. Now, well settled overseas, it has been less difficult to let go of such a great property.
This is uncomplicated living, from a time when going out meant spending time in the backyard.
A recent refurbishment has seen interior painting and carpet throughout. There are some upgrades needed, namely the kitchen which could benefit from new cabinetry. Such a project will not, however, discourage any buyer who understands homes like this are few and far between. The big win of course with a little overdue maintenance is that you are instantly adding value.
The large backyard is fenced and perfect for kids with plenty of room for the trampoline, or backyard soccer. The lock-up garage plus off street parking is also a rare commodity. If enjoying the sound of children playing is not your thing, then you will love the front deck and private garden, offering the ultimate hideaway.
This is a one stop shop for schooling, including Blockhouse Bay Primary and Intermediate, with dual zoning for Green Bay High and Lynfield College. Not only are you spoilt for choice, you can sleep easy knowing your investment is underpinned by quality education facilities.
Forget the beach this weekend, come and set yourself up for life.
