Buying and Renting your Property

Purchase of (4) four Units In early 2000's my wife and I were looking at increasing our residential investment property portfolio in the North Queensland area. My wife’s sister had sent real estate listings to us to look at and we noticed that Progressive Realty had a listing for two duplexes on the one block of land, we rang Linda and discussed the purchase and the viability of the units as a suitable investment based on the cost and rental returns. On checking her records Linda advised that the property that we were interested in had just been finalised in the last day or so, this was very disappointing as the units were fairly new and well priced, fully tenanted and within walking distance to shops. (great location & Bricks and mortar). Linda asked could we give her a chance to find another property for us, we agreed and left Linda to work her magic, we did not know at the time but Linda had rang around asking people in the same location if they were interested in selling their property, to our amazement Linda had pulled it off with procuring an identical property next door to the one we missed for a simular value, great effort from a great person and honest and reliable Real Estate Agent with a motto that is true and correct. Due to work commitments and the distance from were we live I was unable to inspect the properties before I purchased them, I solely relied on my sister in-law and Linda to supply photos and details that allowed me to purchase the properties with confidence that they were as Linda had advised. It was about 12 months latter before I could visit the units with Linda and they were exactly as Linda had described them based on the photos and details supplied before purchase. I would have no hesitation in doing the same again providing it was with Progressive reality. Property management I have found dealing with a completely professional Property Manager like Progressive Realty has saved us a great deal of frustration. You have provided us with advice and have always followed up and carried out repairs in a timely manner that is both beneficial to myself and the tenants. Due to the professional approach of yourself and your staff, my units are well maintained and continuing to rise in rent and value. I would have no hesitation in recommending both your organisation and staff to any one that is interested in purchasing and or requiring property management services. When I look at the service that is supplied by property managers in my local area it comes to mind that they would not have a hope in hell to compete with the professional standing of Progressive Realty which only further encourages us to repurchase in the Mackay area. I live in Port Stephens NSW and I solely rely of Linda and her team to keep us informed and up to date with the management of my investment properties. Ian & Ann Bullen

My husband and I were clients of Linda's for 10years in Mackay. Our dealings where purchasing properties and also she handled our rental properties. During that time Linda personally spoke to us regarding any problems and always had our best interest at heart. I would highly recommend business dealings with Linda. Judy Keogh December 2017

Linda looked after our property in a professional manner at all times. Her local knowledge and input was very helpful. We had a dispute which went to the tribunal that Linda defended well in our favour. I would recommend her to other property investors .

Thank You Linda Great Job

Linda Walters was referred to us through trusted business acquaintances and as first time home sellers, we initially had little understanding of the process. Linda provided a calming presence, taking the time to explain not just what our own needs were, but also those of potential buyers, all in order to ensure the best outcome was achieved. Having provided a very accurate appraisal, Linda’s marketing strategy took advantage of a strong buyer market, targeting social media, rather than falling into line with the status quo (rely heavily on the big ‘for sale’ web sites). Being involved in the decision making process ensured we had an appropriate level of understanding in the overall strategy, which resulted in significant savings. Linda also explain the legal process and as a result we were able to complete the sale without the need to engage solicitors which again was resourceful and further reduced costs. I would recommend Linda to anyone who’s looking to engage a conscientious, efficient and caring realtor. Sincerely Jason and Leanne Firkin

Thank You Linda and Christine

We have used Progressive Real Estate to manage our rental properties for over 6 years. The professionalism of Linda and her team always ensured that our properties were being managed and maintained above our expectations. We had the opportunity to spend 15 months in Japan and at no time did we have any concerns that there would be any property issues while we were away. The progressive team managed and took care of our property matters, Linda or Christine would always contact us and ensure that we were kept informed and updated on any maintenance or service issues, if and when they presented. In particular, Linda was able to offer a recommendation or a solution to address these matters quickly, which we always appreciated. We found both Linda and Christine very professional and would highly recommend Progressive Real Estate to any landlords looking for or looking to change to one of the top property managers/agents. Yours sincerely, John & Teresa Phillips

Taizo and I have been renting through Progressive Reality for more than 1 1/2 years and have found them to be an honest and reliable real estate. We had recently relocated to Mackay and as luck would have it stumbled across this house advertised on the internet.We immedialty applied and were granted the keys within days!They made it all very easy,we did'nt have to chase them for any updates as far as our applications went,they followed everything up and contacted us and the keys were handed over. As a client,we have found them to be incredibly professional but also very friendly.Whenever we have had any maintenance issues they were always very quick to act on them,and we've never had a delay in having any repairs done. We certainley would refer any prospective tennants/landlords to Progressive Reality because we have experienced first hand a reliable real estate.They carry out quarterly inspections, and not only give feedback but also recommend solutions to any concerns if necessary.

Above and beyond

Linda has been looking after my property for a couple of years. Linda has gone above and beyond what I expected. Always professional, but also very friendly and easy to work with. She has always kept me informed, kept a good eye on my property, at the same time being mindful and looking after the tenant. Linda is able to find solutions to problems, even when I have been unable to solve them myself. Communication is always current and I am well informed of what is happening. Linda has a great eye for detail, has good connections, (if you need them). It has taken a lot of pressure from me, knowing that I can trust her with my investment. I have no hesitating in recommending Linda for anyone looking for a real estate agent. 🙂
