Dear <dear>

Hello again! Here is this quarter's report on the current real estate market.

Welcome to 2010!

It is shaping up to be quite ayear forthe local real estate market withactivity already looking bright.

From January t, 2010 the Queensland Government has brought in a newSustainability Declaration form that must be completed when selling andthen be presented to the agent prior to the property being marketed.Should you wish to view the new Sustainability Declaration forms, pleasecontact me, and I will forward a copy to you either via post or e-mail,

The First Home Buyer's Boost brought many new property owners into themarket place in 2009. lt has now ended yet the original First Homeownersgrant of $7000 remains.

We are currently on the look-out for new properties to present to thosepotential buyers still here and waitingto secure property. Should you beconsidering selling, or would just like to know where your property sits inthe changing real estate market, please contact me and lwill arrange a

/ must summarise how refreshing tt was to deal with someone like BrettAndreassen who is of the ftnest calibre both professionally and personally.Because of him I will be takrng my business back to Doug Disher RealEstate again one day and hopefully to Brett himself.Ben Harrop- Unilodge

/ recently learned that I had a job offer overseas. Everything happened soquickly! / had just 6 weeks to fintsh a job in Brisbane, pack my belongings,and make the move. I panrcked when / realised it would be "impossible'tosell my home ln that short space of time. Brett made the impossible turn topossible. He met me at home and we talked about my expectations. /explained that even though I was short on time I definitely did not want tose// for a low price. Like a fox terrier after a rat, Brett set about finding mea buyer. He is a real estate agent who thrives on a challenge. I truly believeBrett's personality prevents him from doing a half-decent job just to takesome commisston. Thìs rs a guy who prrdes himself on doing his BEST. Iwas impressed,/surprised/amazed! Thank you, Brett, for working so hard toget things right.Anna McAlistair - 3/28 Lucinda St
