A Time to Refect

The utter devastation of the hostage situation in Sydney last week was a moment when the entire country felt helpless and yet we were glued to the television to see how the entire scenario was to be played out.  Everyone had an opinion on what should happen, but ultimately it really didn't matter what we thought or said. However, you certainly have to give credit to the police; not only did they evacuate one of the world’s top cities within minutes of the event, but their ability to manage the siege was an unbelievable and amazing feat.  Everyone had a job to do and even though two people heroically lost their lives in this unimaginable event, it showed that people are resilient and strong.  This type of individual will not divide us, but will strengthen us to become more determined to stick together.

As we sympathise with the devastation these families are experiencing, we also remember others who have also lost loves ones throughout the year.  It’s a time to reflect, give thanks and hug our family and friends a little tighter.  

We look forward to 2015 with great optimism as our local market shows some signs of improvement, not in the number of listings, but properties sold, and to be honest we all want homes sold.

Now that our phones are back up and running after the hail storm, our office is available to take your call  over the festive season.

From everyone at 2^nd Avenue Realty, we hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year.

Duck for Cover

During last week’s hail storms water trickled into our office PABX box and boom, GONE!  Unfortunately, we have been without phone lines since as we patiently wait for our box to be replaced and phone lines restored.  We apologise if you have been trying to call our office and the phones have been ringing out, please call 0411 838 979 in the interim, as we don’t want to miss your call. 

Due to the overwhelming generosity of our community we have delivered our first supply of donated Christmas presents to the Salvation Army.  Thank you!

The Christmas Wishing Tree will conclude on 19 December 2014, so there’s still time to donate a gift if you would like to do so.  Just drop your present into our office and place it under the tree!

As we have nearly SOLD all our homes, we are now in need of more to sell!  The buyers are patiently waiting in the wings for the right home to come along.  So, if you have been thinking, ‘Is Christmas a good time to sell?’ don’t hesitate, as when there’s plenty of buyers and not enough homes around, anytime is good!  Why not try now!

Don’t forget that the majority of solicitors/conveyancing companies take a holiday break over Christmas and don’t return until the New Year.  It is important that you contact your legal team to ensure that they are working during the festive season.
