Ok, here it is....
Usually I don't like these rating websites, but I was so impressed with Steve Wootten that I found this site and want to give this guy the double thumbs up!
You know how some real estate agents are just full of it and leave you wondering - well not Steve. He is polite, respectful and a sincere guy who says it as it is and delivers a stunning result. We have sold a number of properties through Steve and he just gets better and better! He is fair to all and we've even spoken with the buyers after the sale and they also love him! No one gets stiffed and the price is always fair and robust.
Finally, I should also point out how he rates with my wife - you know how some agents can treat women poorly and act like sexist pigs...not Steve. He is professional, courteous and treats all involved in the sale with equal respect. So if you're a lady reading this, feel confident to call Steve - he treat you like a human. Steve is a real family man and he is well known in the area and respected as a community leader.
Anyway, that's enough. He's red hot....I reckon he's diffinately worth a go and I'm telling you - you won't be disappointed! Thanks Steve and great work!

"Stephen had excellent knowledge of the local area and also brought to the process his broader knowledge of the market across Brisbane. He was approachable, professional in his communication and his advice was always considered, honest and well informed. His openness to communication was appreciated. Stephen had a very good eye for detail and attended to each step in the process in a timely manner. It was great to work with."

The right season depends on a huge variety of factors, including the property itself, its surroundings and area you live in. For example, are you in a tourist spot? A beach suburb? Or are there events on at certain times of the year that turn your normally quiet street or suburb into a car park? There can also be a huge advantage in marketing your home during traditionally quiet periods – winter, for example, or from mid-January into February, when other sellers are still on holidays. With fewer properties to choose from, more of the buyers will get to see your place.
On average, we find our properties take between two and six weeks to sell. This does depend on the area you live in, and you should add another two weeks to this for us to prepare your house and for your marketing campaign.
Regardless of the time of year you decide to sell, there are some absolute must-dos: Thoroughly clean your property from top to bottom – inside and out. Trim overgrown gardens; remove weeds and dead growth and refresh garden beds with mulch. Address any off-putting maintenance issues, such as peeling paint, worn or marked carpets, cracked tiles, dirty grout and loose or rusted gutters (if you’re selling a knockdown or “renovator’s delight”, this step often isn’t necessary). Banish any pet smells. Furnish the home in an attractive but not overly cluttered or personal way, to give potential buyers a perspective on room sizes and to present the home in its best light. Pay for professional photographs and good marketing
Focusing repairs or renovations on the kitchen, bathrooms, paint and street appeal tend to have the best return on investment.
Yes, especially if your home is appealing to premium buyers. We have a team of house stylists that we use and recommend for our Place clients.
Auctions can create a sense of urgency and competition amongst buyers and are suited to situations where the owner wants an unconditional sale. Traditional private sales can be seen as less threatening for some buyers and also offer you more privacy during the sales process. The best option for you depends on your unique situation.
The Place team knows the absolute best steps at every stage to prepare your property for sale. Combining this with our unique and highly effective marketing systems, we can get incredible results for our clients.
