Whiskers worked wondersIF you thought your local Peard Real Estatesales representative looked a little differentlast month, you were right.

Staff from the Scarborough, Joondalup andCottesloe offices decided to go back to theirroots and grew moustaches to raise moneyfor the Movember Foundation – an annualmonth-long event aimed at increasing aware-ness for men’s health.

Peard Real Estate Group chief executivePeter Peard said funds raised for Movemberwere shared equally between programs tar-geting prostate cancer and male depression.

“These funds are committed to theProstate Cancer Foundation of Australia andbeyondblue – the national depression initia-tive and the Movember Foundation,” he said.

“Together, the three channels work toensure that Movember funds support a broadrange of innovative, world-class programs inthe fields of research, education, support andawareness.”

The three offices raised more than $1500for the charity, with male staff joining thou-sands of men around Australia, sproutingbeards and moustaches throughout Novem-ber.

Peard West Coast director and Movemberparticipant David Lynch said the initiative wasa great event.

“Growing a moustache for Movemberwas a simple and effective way of raisingawareness of men’s health issues as well asraising funds for this charity,” he said.

“This was only our first year that we were

involved with Movember and we were

delighted with the results.

“Next year we plan to have all our eight

Perth offices participate so we can raise even

more money for men’s health.” ■

How to maximiseyour investment

MANY new investors make the decision tosave money by managing their own investmentproperty.

They work on the assumption that oncethey have selected and installed a tenant, thereal work is done.

Do they, in fact, ‘save money’ as they intend-ed?

Once they start looking after the propertyon a day-to-day basis, most investors realisethey do not have the level of expertiserequired to maximise income and minimiseexpenses.

They realise they cannot do the work cost-effectively, and that tenancy legislation is bestleft to the experts.

Most novices need to spend a dispropor-tionate amount of time making sure they get itright.

Even then, they worry that they have notthought of everything.

Most find it an enormous relief to hand overto an expert, who has the up-to-date legalknowledge to prevent problems developing.

Most investors report an increase in theirnet income as well as in their leisure time.

Happily, most people hand over to an agentbefore things go wrong.

They realise that staying up-to-date withweek-to-week fluctuations in the rental marketis difficult for those not in the business.

It takes a lot longer for trends to becomeapparent to people who are looking after justone or two properties.

Do-it-yourself investors do all the workthemselves and it may still cost them money inhigher vacancies.

It’s also very hard to keep a distance fromdemanding tenants when there is no thirdparty to liaise.

Communication and arbitration is an areawhere the objectivity of a third party is essen-tial. Dialogue via a third party minimisesincome-reducing anger and conflicts. ■

Boutique agency offers referral incentivesIT’S not easybeing a boutique-styled real estateagency, but BrookeStone Real Estatein Joondalup utilis-es its small size toits advantage.

Although sever-al major real estatecompaniesapproached theaward-winning business to join its franchise,Brooke Stone remains an independent agencycatering to customers along Perth’s northernsuburbs and coastal stretch with a strong

commitment to placing the customer first.Director Darryl Flaherty said the company

used innovative and creative approaches tomarket their name against the giants of thereal estate industry.

“Too much control goes to the directors inthe eastern states, so we prefer to remainsmall but independent,” he said.

“Brooke Stone have very definite and indi-vidual ideas on marketing and do not want tohave to ‘toe the company line’.”

The company recently introduced anexclusive referral incentive, which promises a$1000 settlement reward for each referral, aswell as another $250 into a “special bonusaccount” held in the name of the referrer.

A further $1000 is paid at settlement ofeach subsequent referral, with another $250paid into the bonus account. Mr Flaherty saidpeople could earn up to $5000 “just for beingsocial and a good listener”.

“The referral club is proving very success-ful in directing new listings to their sales andproperty management departments.

“We have now introduced – probably forthe first time in Australia – the idea that theowners of every 12 properties sold areplaced in a draw to win one of 12 prizes.Everyone wins a prize.”

Prizes range from a holiday for two toParis or London with return air fares andaccommodation to gift vouchers. ■

Family entertaining on a deluxe scale

A REAL love for entertaining has inspiredthe owners of this residence to create amasterpiece in Scarborough.

The Warren family extensively renovatedthe property with the idea of “family” inmind.

“What we’ve done to the outside meansyou really get to enjoy the back yard andpool.There are sections for different timesof the day, plus there isn’t too much gardenso it’s easy care and not overbearing,” LauraWarren said.

“It’s a real family home, and our kids andgrandkids love it.”

High retaining brick walls seclude the

front of the residence, which can be trickygiven the home is one street back from WestCoast Highway.

There is no proper front entrance – assoon as you enter the gates you step intothe tranquil alfresco areas, comprising thepool and timber-decked patio.

Adorned by a glass balustrade, the poolhas plenty of areas for seating and Africanthatched fencing enhances the lush appeal ofthe gardens.

Piped music flows from inside the houseto the patio, which has clear overhead ceil-ings complemented by exposed timberbeams. A rollerdoor conceals a built-in bar,

making outdoor entertaining a breeze.The African influences continue into the

residence, with African slate flooring high-lighting the ground-level living rooms.

At the hub of the home is the kitchen,which has granite bench tops and grandcolumns around the island bench top.

All bedrooms are located on the topstorey, including the master room, which hasjarrah flooring and cedar blinds. ■

The high-water mark in coastal opulence THIS pristine house is absolutely flawless inevery way, shape and form.

The term “no expense has been spared”truly parallels this home of magnificent propor-tions, constructed to maximise the uninter-rupted views to the Indian Ocean across itsthree levels.

It’s easy to see how the North Beach resi-dence was named the 2006 HIA WA Home ofthe Year (among a host of other awards), withits innovative flair and clever use of the block’stricky contour design.

Designed by award-winning architect PeterDoggett of Coast (WA) and built by OswaldHomes, “Booyeem-bara” – a nicknamemeaning the land ofwhite gums and grasstrees – is arguablythe best propertyalong Perth’s north-ern corridor, letalone North Beach.

The easiest way toreview a home ofthis magnitude is tostart at its base.

You’ll note the fine attention to detail andthe top-of-the-range specifications in thesunken theatre room, providing a great cine-matic ambience with its shrewd lighting addi-tions.

Access to a temperature and humidity-con-trolled ‘limestone cave’ wine cellar is availablefrom this area. Completing the ground floorare three bedrooms and a six-person lift withgranite furnishings, servicing all three floors.

Shoppers’ access to the garage is on handfrom the first storey, which also provides

the main entrance into the home.A grand foyer with lofty ceilings and an indi-

vidually designed chandelier highlights the wait-ing section, with floor to ceiling windowsenhancing the area’s space. On one of the high-est contour points, the kitchen has beendesigned to capture the wide ocean aspect.

Stone benches incorporating three Mieleovens and two custom-designed fridges high-light the spacious area, which also has a sepa-rate equipped bar.

All living areas on this floor have been metic-ulously calculated to soak in prime views of theocean.

Coffered ceilings,a feature fireplaceand extensive use ofbamboo flooringhighlight theseareas. Stackable bi-fold doors seam-lessly flow to theback yard and frontbalcony, so youwon’t encounterany dramas whenentertaining inside

or out. Perfectly positioned to encapsulate theever-changing oceanscape, the master bed-room on the top level is absolutely breathtak-ing.

With a sectioned off dressing area and awalk-in wardrobe to please even the fussiestfashionista, the bedroom has an ensuite withslab marble furnishings and a pebble walkway.

A gas-heated lap pool bordered by framelessglass fencing, outdoor shower, and outdoorarea with a pizza oven and barbecue completethe commanding layout of the home. ■

the perfect mixThe beautiful Jacarandas tell of a traditional property in a well established area. The modern kitchen reflects how well the owners have updated this welcoming family home in much desired Wembley. Throughout the home, the best of the traditional has been maintained and the modernisation done with taste and style.

The period features, like the fireplace, carved cornices and big rooms, meld into the renovated kitchen and bathroom upgrades. Wembley is on the move with new homes being built and many older properties being renovated. The great thing about this home is that all the hard work has been done. Its features are striking; from the lovely wooden floors to the modern kitchen and French doors leading to the big, tidy back garden. This really is a rare chance to move to a superb suburb, enjoy life close to nature, whilst still having every facility close by.

TO RENOVATE or not to ren-ovate?

That is pressing question on theminds of many owners of olderhomes.

New Home Building Brokersmanaging director Tristan Kirkhamtold Residential that he is asked thisquestion every week and everytime his advice is the same – con-sider all the costs before making adecision.

“Builders will charge $2500 permetre square minimum in a renova-tion, and up to $4500sqm,’’ he said.

“Remember this is a hard pill toswallow when you have to live inthe home while the works are get-ting completed.

“So if it’s a big renovation, build-ing is always a better option long-term as the home is completelynew with full warranty to the entirehome.

“If it’s a small renovation, then thecosts can be very reasonable,depending on the work.”

In comparison to renovating, MrKirkham said the cost to build ahigh-quality finish brand-new singleor double-storey home is between$1100sqm and $2000sqm depend-ing on total area and complexity ofthe design.

“These rates can increase signifi-cantly depending on the level ofbuilder you choose,’’ he said.

If you are struggling to knowwhere to start, give the team atNew Home Building Brokers a calltoday on 1300 383 262 or visitwww.nhbb.com.au. ■

Seth and Joanna were in the first stages of negotiations to buy an investmentproperty to fund their retirement. However, they’d never been landlords beforeand were worried about having their capital tied up in one place. Turned outthough, they had nothing to worry about. They realised they could borrow againstthe equity in their property. And there were other reasons in favour of property;it would provide a steady income and they could use it to help minimise their tax liability while Seth continued to work part-time.

Everything that is great about relaxing lifestyle, writes SAMANTHA JONES

FROM its fine restaurants to thepanorama of an ever-changingoceanscape, The Esplanade inScarborough would have to beone of Perth’s top locations forthe drawcards it offers bothtourists and residents alike.

Aside from the obvious picture-perfect beachside location, thetwo-kilometre street is home toresort-styled hotels ObservationRise and Rendezvous, the Scar-boro Surf Life Saving Club, theScarborough Beach Amphitheatreand the famous clock tower at themain roundabout.

O’Rourke Realty Investmentsgeneral and sales manager JarradO’Rourke said the street hadprime beachfront positioning andthere were still opportunities toown property along the iconicstretch.

“I’ve been selling in that areaand on that street for 16 years andhave four properties for sale onThe Esplanade at the moment,” hesaid.

“We sold the land to the veryfirst development, which was

SandCastles Condominiums. Priorto SandCastles, the block just hadold houses.

“We sold it to one of the devel-opers, who built the first multi-level apartments in Scarborough.Since then, there’s been Observa-tion Rise and Seashells.”

Mr O’Rourke said propertiesranged from less than $500,000right up to the millions.

“It’s hard to beat the value TheEsplanade offers, and with theintroduction of CeVue in Scarbor-ough Beach, you’ll be in the heartof several developments andshops.

“Right now I’ve got a two-by-one apartment selling at $469,000,and a three-by-two from $1.29million.As you can see, you can stillown beachfront property for rela-tively cheap.”

The Esplanade has something tocater for everyone’s needs –whether you like soaking up Scar-borough’s beach lifestyle, enjoyinga leisurely stroll through lush park-lands or dining at some of Perth’sbest cafes. CeVue Scarborough is

the most recent addition to TheEsplanade and is positioned to setthe benchmark for the suburb’slong-awaited renaissance, accord-ing to its developer Cape BouvardInvestments.

Marketing sales executive Steve

Hill said the company acquiredCeVue in 2002. “The Esplanade isoften referred to as the ‘GoldenMile’ because of its commercialand residential elements. Scarbor-ough has a huge amount of prom-ise.” ■
