EXCELLENT SALES RESULTS ALL OF THE TIME...
When seeking a market appraisal from an estate agent and a price estimate is given, then the next question you ask is - PROVE IT !
The sales process starts with a correct market evaluation of the property by comparing the sold price of similar properties in the market place. Hard sales evidence must be produced to substantiate a price estimate. We give you the print outs of actual similar property sales in your neighbourhood.
Once a price is established then the correct method of selling is considered.
Auction or Private Sale are the most accepted ways to sell. A proper Tender process should only be used in special circumstances. Be wary of unusual 'new' marketing concepts.
An advertising budget is then prepared for each property individually. We believe that the type of property determines what is required for promotional advertising. Our individual approach to marketing ensures that each property receives maximum exposure. We balance the ever increasing cost of advertising with the needs of the property.
Once on the market, negotiating with the prospective buyers is a key element for a successful outcome to ensure not only the price, but terms and conditions are to our client's advantage. Our years of experience in negotiating makes all the difference to obtaining the best possible result for our clients.
The principals of selling real estate never change. Market conditions, state laws, technology tools and advertising mediums have changed over the years, but the principals are always the same.
These principals are:- a correct market appraisal; selecting the most appropriate method of sale; suitable advertising; assisting buyers; accurate documentation and handling of trust monies.
We ensure that the sale of your property is handled correctly and goes smoothly ensuring a successful result.

COMMERCIAL and INDUSTRIAL
The principals with the selling of commercial and industrial property are different to that of residential.
The valuation process is usually the capitalisation method which takes into consideration the rental return and yield, with market demands and reasons for disposal quite different to residential.
At Coultons Melbourne we always provide a correct market appraisal, and advise the most suitable method of sale to achieve the best outcome within the market conditions at the time.
Over 50 years Graham Coulton has developed a unique process for selecting the best tenants for each property.
Our leasing motto is that 'prevention is better than cure'.
None of our owners have had the need to take out Landlord's Insurance.
It is 'extremely' rare for us to go to V.C.A.T.
The cornerstone of our success is quality personal service.
We have a good relationship with our tenants, and regard them as important clients.
Over time we have developed a specialty for the leasing of high quality executive properties. Particularly family homes where clients are being transferred interstate or overseas and require the utmost in professional service. These are usually in blue chip suburbs including townhouses and apartments from $700pw to large family homes over $3,000 per week.
Commercial and Industrial properties are handled completely differently to residential, and have totally different legislation governing them.
Commercial market places are changing with competition from internet sales. Whether your investment property is an office, a retail shop, factory, or showroom, call Graham for reliable service and advice.
Ongoing property management is an equally important aspect of our business. Whether you are overseas, interstate or just around the corner, our practical advice and assessment of matters is always accurate. Inspections are carried out and monitored accordingly.
Our quality, personal service is also preferred by clients with high net worth portfolios.

The main reason to invest in direct property is for a long term hedge against inflation that you control. Your name is on the title.
Owning real estate is a long term investment for over at least a 10 year plan.
The best investment is always having your own home fully paid off. This provides both financial security and security of tenure. An owner occupied housing loan is not tax deductable so the interest is coming from your after tax dollars. Pay off this loan as soon as possible.
Once you have paid the housing loan off or down substantially, then you will be in a position to purchase an investment property. This can be done with either a cash deposit or using the equity in the existing family home. The loan for the investment property is fully tax deductable. You then start to fast forward your investment portfolio with both rental income and tax benefits.
During your working life, if income allows, a suitable goal would be to own your own home plus four other investment properties of say $700,000 each (on 2021 prices). This would include operating a Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF) and have it own two of the properties in your portfolio. Discuss this with your accountant or financial advisor. Running a SMSF is not hard.

MAKING SURE YOU BUY THE RIGHT PROPERTY AT THE RIGHT PRICE!
Buyer's Advocacy is an important service which should only be undertaken by a qualified Licensed Estate Agent who is a member of the R.E.I.V.
Buyer advocacy entails assisting the client to firstly, estimate the market value of the subject property accurately.
Then enter negotiations with the selling agent to secure the property at the best outcome for the buyer. This service also includes bidding at auction for buyers.
Successful buyer advocacy requires a large and broad amount of practical experience by an agent, dealing with a wide cross section of properties.
When buying always use the strength of our buyer's advocate service. It will save you thousands of dollars.
For investment properties it is imperative not only to buy for the right price, but that you actually buy the right type of property. There are important criteria in determining what constitutes a good investment.
At Coultons Melbourne we act for buyers of investment, residential, rural and commercial property within Victoria.
