It’s been a year like no other yet a group of Noosa real estate agents saw the challenge and confronted it head-on.
In October 2020, Noosa Estate Agents came to life with three former colleagues and long-term local agents Scott Cowley, Nathan Howie and Kelsie Melville combining to create a company and brand that would deliver the best service, marketing platforms and optimum results for each client.
Joined soon after by Sam Plummer and Angela Wood, widely recognised as top selling agents for many years, the team has grown and achieved results far beyond even their own expectations.
After the initial Covid lock-downs in the early part of 2020, most of us were unsure of how the property market would fair, with the majority of analysts predicting a severe correction in prices of up to 30 per cent.
July and August saw a lift in buyer activity and by October/November we could see the trend was going against what earlier predictions were saying.
From then on, inquiry levels rose sharply, as did the number of sales across all price ranges and suburbs.
We could now see that the Noosa property market was heading into new territory as the frenzy took hold, the number of available properties tightened dramatically and the sheer volume of buyer interest put upward pressure on prices.
There have been some major changes over the past 12 months, not only to the market but in the way we handle property transactions as an industry, and we’ve had to adapt.
With many people not being able to cross the border to do physical inspections, we have used video and Facetime inspections to satisfy buyers and give them an accurate idea of what the properties are. The market is moving so quickly now and more often than not we have multiple offers on each property.
So, the use of programs like Docusign has become crucial in getting forms and contracts delivered, signed and returned as quickly as possible.
Zoom has also assisted with client meetings across boarders and internationally, as well as auctions that have been either fully or in-part online to allow those who can’t be here to participate.
There have been many challenges to overcome and adaptions to make in our business, but we have enjoyed the change and our journey so far.
Being a part of the community is very important to us and this year Noosa Estate Agents have become sponsors of the Noosa Tennis Association and more recently have partnered with the Noosa Tigers, becoming one of the major sponsor of the club.
We look forward to continuing and expanding our support across the local community.
We are extremely thankful and grateful to everyone who has supported our team and helped us along the way to have the most amazing first year in operation.
We’re looking forward to assisting many more buyers and sellers over the next 12 months to achieve their Noosa real estate dreams.
