ABOUT
Residence is a boutique property sales agency conceived by Richard Rawle in 1997 to deliver a service very different to the large franchise agencies. Residence provides personalised service developed over 20 years of learning and experience.
Richard comes from a background in chartered accounting (KPMG) and holds degrees in Commerce, Arts (Psychology) and a Masters in Coaching Psychology from the University of Sydney.
Backed by a team of expert photographers, graphic designers and copywriters, we tailor tasteful marketing campaigns to individual properties.
Not being confined to a specific geographical area means Residence sells houses and apartments across Sydney and now assists in the purchase and sale of properties in SE Qld as well.

Ideas
Assuming that market participants are rational is a huge gamble. In my experience, people often follow each other into unwise investments driven by “market sentiment”. I always suggest clients be prepared to do what others are NOT doing. (ie sell when everyone else is buying)
When analysing property price increases, be cautious as they never strip out the effect of renovations. The data nearly always only reflects the gross increase in prices. If you have spent nothing on improvements, don’t expect your property to perform the same as the median.
Baby boomers (46 -64 year olds) make up 25% of the population but control 55% of the wealth. This wealthy, demanding bulge in the demographic is aging and looking after their needs will be lucrative. To appeal to them; minimise stairs and buy in areas with good medical facilities, low crime rates and access to level walking opportunities.
Since super funds have been able to borrow to buy residential property they have been flooding into the market. In a couple of years, they will realise how small the net return on residential property can be and may well stampede back out.
