FROM psychology topublic relations andthen on to hospitalitywhere she owned theHard Rock Café in Subi-aco – real estate waslast on Niki Peinke’s listof career options, butnow she couldn’t thinkof anything else she’drather do.

The director of TheProperty Exchange inSubiaco said it was justbefore the birth of herdaughter Chelsea thatshe decided to do a realestate course to “fill intime” but what shesoon discovered was apassion she didn’t knowexisted.

“In 1988 I embarkedon a full-time career inreal estate and in 1997 Ico-founded The Proper-

can never be boring.“It is a roller coaster

ride and a real chanceto make a difference inpeople’s lives and helpsolve their problems.”

When Niki isn’t sell-

“However, I have beenpassionate about ETypes since I was 12 andalways said that one dayI would own one.

“OK it took a while,but two months ago thisone crossed my path atthe 50th Anniversary ofE Types held in SupremeCourt Gardens and ithad my name on it –right year, right colourand of course convert-ible.”

What to look for beforeselecting your agentFrom Hard Rock to hot bricks

Change to career in property just the ticket for Niki Peinke . By CARMELLE WILKINSON

NOW is the perfect time to upgrade yourhome and move to an upmarket part ofPerth. According to Peard Real EstateGroup CEO Peter Peard, greater homeloan competition combined with competi-tive house prices at the top end of the realestate market have made it an ideal time torefinance your property.

“Existing home owners who have a goodtrack record of paying their mortgages andare seeking to refinance are now primecandidates for financial institutions,’’ hesaid.“Astute home owners wanting to refi-nance and upgrade their home can securevariable home loans for as little as 6.59 percent with no entry, management or exitfees.

“More competitive finance options areoccurring at a time when many homes inthe $1 million plus bracket in Perth can nowbe purchased for below replacement cost.

“There is currently a large supply ofhomes for sale in the $1 million plus marketwith few buyers, meaning that sellers areprepared to discount prices to secure apurchaser.” Mr Peard said this trend wasunderlined by sales figures for the upmar-ket northern suburb of Mullaloo.

“During the year ending the March 2011quarter, the median price of a home in Mul-laloo actually fell by 5.6 per cent, eventhough the annual average capital growth inthis suburb has been over 11 per cent dur-ing the last quarter,’’ he said.

“This trend has also occurred in otherparts of Perth. For example, in the westernsuburbs, the median price of a home inPeppermint Grove fell by nearly 19 percent while in the southern suburbs, themedian price of a home in Salter Point fellby nearly 13 per cent.”

He said newer homes which had beenconstructed in the last five years offered thebest buying opportunities in upmarket sub-urbs because they would be the most tobenefit from any blow out in constructioncosts due to the resources boom.

“Currently, consumer sentiment is low.However, this makes it an ideal time topurchase a home and in particular toupgrade,” he said. ■

Falling prices make this perfect time to upgradeBargains to be found as sellers of upmarket properties feel pinch of low consumer sentiment

THIS week CEO ofLimnios PropertyGroup James Limniosshares his top tips forselecting an agent tosell your property.1. KNOWLEDGE

OF AREAWhat is the local mar-ket knowledge of thereal estate agent? Thiswill determine howaccurately they can appraise the home andthe number of potential homebuyers theyknow are wanting to move into the localarea.

What is the specific sales record of thereal estate agent? If the real estate agent hassold a large number of homes then they havea proven track record in the real estateindustry.2. PREVIOUS EXPERIENCEAsk the real estate agent if they can provideyou with the names and contact details of atleast three previous clients.3. MARKETING STRATEGYDon’t select the real estate agent promisingyou the highest selling price for a property. Itis the skills and experience of the agent thatwill help determine the selling price of aproperty rather than promises being offered.

Also discuss with the agent their homeopen strategy.

Some agents use assistants or colleaguesto market the property.

This has the ability to maximise the expo-sure of your property by conducting morefrequent home opens.4.TRACK RECORDWhat is the specific sales record of the realestate agent? If the real estate agent has solda large number of homes then they have aproven track record in the real estate indus-try.5. PERSONAL PRESENTATIONDoes the real estate agent present himselfprofessionally and communicate well?

The presentation and communicationskills of a real estate agent are vital in sellinga home to prospective homebuyers. ■

Modern living, with stunning views

WHEN they built their striking CityBeach home four years ago, the owners’design brief read: must have ‘wow factor’in the master suite.

That it has – but it doesn’t stop there.Bob Davey, principal of RM Davey &

Associates, designed the west-facing resi-dence, which was built by Tony Tomizzi,and has received a master builders awardand national nomination.

The near-new home presents beautiful-ly while offering highly functional modernliving in a prestigious ocean-side locale,just metres from the water.

“We didn’t build the home for views,”

the owner said.“But we were surprised by the views

that we got from the second level”Comprised of granite steps, limestone

accents and an antique pine and wroughtiron panelled front door, the street eleva-tion is sophisticated yet inviting, and iscomplemented by other new large homeson the street.

A wide-entry foyer is flanked by a gen-erous office and large formal lounge roomfeaturing recessed ceilings and a featurestone fireplace.

Timber features extensively through-out the home, with extra wide blackbuttflooring complemented by cedar door-frames and louvres.

The kitchen is at the centre of thehome and was designed with practicalityin mind – a dumb waiter assists in carry-ing shopping up from the garage, and azip hydro tap provides instant chilled

and boiling water.Finished beautifully with quartz bench

tops, glass splashbacks and stainless steelappliances, it is as stylish as it is efficient.

The adjacent dining area features a dra-matic peaked ceiling recess.

Commercial grade bi-fold doors con-nect the main living area to the cedar out-door area with a built-in barbecue,perfectfor all season entertaining and watchingthe footy on Foxtel.

A guest room and adjoining ensuite arein a separate wing on the ground level,overlooking the granite-edged pool.

The first floor has two minor bed-rooms, a bathroom and play area as wellas a master bedroom at the other end.

Luxuriously appointed with smartwiring throughout, Foxtel available inmost rooms, ducted vacuuming, a winecellar and triple undercroft garage, every-thing has been thought of. ■

Functional home combinesluxury with practicality,writes JANE EVANS

Uniquely located, beautifully designed and meticulously fi nished with views that make you stop and forget what you were doing. This award winning designed Penthouse includes 2 storeys, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 4 balconies and is an experience which words will not adequately describe. A focal point of this home is 6 vast Smart Glass panels (3 across, 2 high) which, when the blinds are retracted, bring the Indian Ocean, the beach, Rottnest, Carnac and Garden Islands into the residence. At night these panels allow you to not only take in the ocean view, but also the dark star peppered sky. The complex itself is located on Ocean Drive and boasts an outdoor pool, a heated indoor pool, gym, and a beautifully landscaped garden. Situated metres from the beach with nothing but a walkway between you and the sand, your own cafe only 10 metres away, and nearby restaurants and the vibrant port of Fremantle. This truly is an opportunity not to be missed.

Question:I already have two properties andam quite keen to expand myportfolio and buy another, butam fearful that the market maycrash. I hear all sorts of differentstories, some good, some bad,and just don’t know what tobelieve, or at this point what todo.What would you do if this wasyou?

Answer:This is a big question and one thatseems to be on everybody's lips rightnow, so I am going to give it a biganswer.You say you don’t know what tobelieve now. Well, here is a tip – don’tbelieve anything. Not the good. Notthe bad. It really doesn’t matter anddoesn’t change a thing in my view. It isirrelevant.The property market has always hadits up and downs – we were just a bitspoilt here in WA before 2006 by hav-ing a constantly increasing market –but look at the big picture, and I meanthe big picture.Fact One: Everybody has to livesomewhere.Fact Two: More and more people arecoming into WA every year.Fact Three: We live in one of themost stable economies in the world.FACT Four: We have an abundanceof natural resources that are stilluntapped.FACT Five: Property prices todayare the lowest they have been for fiveyears.So, the fact is, if you are thinking ofbuying, you are very lucky that theproperty market has not continuedgoing up because otherwise youwould be paying a whole lot more

than you are now for whatever youbuy.Now, for those of you who are sellingto buy something else, it is a greattime to do it, especially if you areupgrading.Let’s say you own something that isworth $1,000,000, but you’re wantingto buy something worth $2,000,000and the market has just dropped 10per cent. Your place is now worth$900,000 and the one you are buyingis now worth $1,800,000. You havejust saved yourself $100,000. So go doit.If you are downsizing, the oppositeholds true so I would probably delaythat decision or buy the smaller onenow and rent the other one out untilthe market rises – then you get thebest of both worlds.However, the bottom line is to ignorethe doom and gloom, buy properlyand hold on.Don’t jump in and out of property asthis is costly – in the long term it willdo you proud and build your wealth.Remember, it’s the only investmentyou can buy and get a completestranger to pay off for you.And, if you have any equity in yourproperty it can be making you moneyevery day so don’t let it sit there anddo nothing or you will end up like 95per cent of people – clawing yourselfto a slim and limited retirement.For more tips on growing your wealth,contact me direct at [email protected].

Altus shows local artist’s worksA REAL estate agency by day, Altus RealEstate became an art gallery by night lastweek.

The Swanbourne business hosted theopening night of its seventh art event, show-casing the paintings of Daglish artist SteveClarke.

Sales representative Melanie Fear (sisterof Altus principle David Fear) said she sawone of Clarke’s paintings at a friend’s housewho encouraged her to make contact withhim.

The local artist has exhibited at theMt Lawley Annual Art Show for the last 10years as well as many other local councilshows.

He has also participated in the Royal

Show Open Art Exhibition for the past 15years.

“It is an opportunity for an up-and-com-ing artist to display their talent in an infor-mal space and gauge if what they are doing isgoing to be well received by the wider com-munity,” Melanie said.

“We provide the venue and allow thecommunity to embrace the event.”

Melanie organises the events but says it isvery much a team effort.

“Providing the venue space is a big thingand we do this freely,” she said.

Clarke has 24 paintings on displaythroughout the office and all are for sale.

The exhibition runs until July 8 and can beviewed at Altus during office hours. ■

Function and style in abundance for larger familyHOMES of such grand proportion areoften cold and uninviting but this three-levelFloreat residence is quite the opposite.

Built in 2000, the colonial inspired homehas a warm exterior, with a certain magnet-ism that makes you want to step inside.

Iron-laced balustrade lines the two street-facing terraces that run the length of thefacade.

The home is divided into two areas, creat-ing versatility for it to be utilised in differentways, a major attraction for the owners.

The ground floor, which can be accesseddirectly from a three-car garage or via a sep-arate entrance, is completely self-containedand comprises a guest bedroom, two largebathrooms, a kitchen, gymnasium or activityroom/home theatre, home office and winecellar/storage.

This level also has its own access to thepool area at the rear.

The first and second floors are occupiedby the main living quarters.

A combination of parquetry and timberflooring flows throughout and is compli-mented by a neutral colour palette, immacu-late presentation and open, light filled spaces.

There are four bedrooms on the upperfloor, including a master suite with a stun-

ning ensuite and walk-in robe.A west-facingbalcony off the master bedroom has been asanctuary for the owners who have enjoyed‘happy hour’ drinks in the warmer months.

“It is just a lovely private area away fromeverything that is going on downstairs, welove sitting up here, looking over the tree-tops and chatting,” said one owner.

Their teenage daughters have made gooduse of the home, with shared study areas,lounging on the front terraces and hostingpre-ball drinks in the grounds.

Abundant living areas occupy the middlefloor, including a combined formal loungeand dining, a casual lounge and dining, amusic/sitting room that could also be alibrary, a home theatre or second activityarea and a central provincial style kitchenthat opens to a conservatory, which flowsinto an alfresco with steps to the backyard.

This remarkable home is the completepackage for the largest of families. ■
