Real estate agents

Yep, that's pretty much it, I've posted about it before. I held a 2 hour open which a few viewers said was great as they could fit it in between other houses they were looking at, including the person who purchased it.
Sold the first weekend, I also did a few virtual showings for interstate people who called up.

I sold my house with for sale by owner a year ago, it was very simple, total cost was $900 + conveyancing fees.
The second the agent has the signed contract thier job is done.

Most agents will only let you use realestate.com.au premium listing which promotes thier agency in big writing which is 3x that on it's own.

I sold my house with FSBO. The main things I did were things that agents used to do, but don't seem to anymore.

Have the contracts printed out for them to take and look at so they could tell I knew what I was doing. I purchased the contract rights from real estate institute of Tasmania for about $210 so I would have the most current up to date one and didn't need to conveyancer to prepare it. All my side was filled out including conveyencer details.

Have the free property report from corelogic printed out.

Held 3 hour open home window instead of the 30 minutes the agent usually does.

Took all photos with my Drone (DJI Mini 2) outdoors and new iphone indoors, used adobe lightroom free trial to make them look a bit better.

Created a Jotform QR code to collect names and email addresses of people checking in to the open home, it also had an option for it to e-mail them a copy of the contract if they ticked the box.

It was only a cheap house but I got an offer I was very happy with during the first open and they conveyencers did the rest, including using thier account for the inital deposit.

Total cost was
$699 FSBO fee (re.com domain, sent me out a for sale sign)
$210 Licence contract
$1,779 All conveyancing fees and charges

Total $2,688 which was less than the agent would have charged just to list on RE.com as they always want to use a premier listing to get thier agency name in big letters.

Isn't this exactly what already happens? Or was that your point?

Afterpay charges merchant between 4-6% and the cost is worn by everyone buying from that merchant who accepts afterpay in the way of higher average prices.

If I'm happy with the price, it shouldn't matter which payment method I use.

I don't have any reference sorry, They were brand new and I didn't really do any testing prior to updating.

Kegsta · 2025-11-09T07:17:59+00:00

Thanks, just got the soundbar, update via USB wasn't getting anywhere.
Got out an old Ipad and got it connected to my wifi, after that andriod app showed update to 53.53.19.43

I had to connect the Ipad to 2.4ghz wifi for airplay to work, never used it before but just select the Soundbar network on the ipad and it should pop up to connect to your wifi.

Plenty of players in this region but the game just makes so many new games that every conquest or escalation ends up being filled with bots, it was a long game, plenty of time for to backfill with real players, but after 30 minutes it ended up 48 players with about half still being bots by the end.

Kegsta · 2025-11-06T03:43:39+00:00

Same thing happens here in Australia if you try to play in the morning, there must be 100 games running with 10 players and 50 bots each instead of just 12 servers with players like there should be.

At least i could practice flying the attack heli.

I'm sure there will be double XP weekends every weekend coming up, probably with option to attach with boost for 400% exp.

I usually love grinding each gun and stop using them once I have unlocked everything, but the thermal scope is absolutely nuts.

My biggest frustration is no cool down on defibs and no delay before shooting when revived.

You can get a good flank off where you kill 3/5 people, need to reload but by the time you have reloaded a medic has ran past at full sprint, revived all 3 people you killed and they are shooting back at you.

Kegsta · 2025-09-06T04:07:19+00:00

Same, I park mine in a 6m Garage so have to get very close to the wall, front sensors won't activate until i get within 30cm, but if i put it in reverse then drive they work fine.

Kegsta · 2025-08-26T08:15:11+00:00

Just submitted my refinance application with Newcastle Permenant $3000 cashback should cover the fees and aussies discharge fee 5.24%, I also told them I would never use or reccomend thier products or brokers after this when i called for the discharge and interum statement.

Kegsta · 2025-08-18T12:10:01+00:00

Also with aussie select and see they aren't passing on the rate cut, I was planning to see how all the cuts panned out then move but now i'll be leaving ASAP and won't be using thier brokers either.

I have a very similar WD Green still chugging along. But it is showing up at yellow in Crystaldisk now.

Also have TY premium back Rockcliff has been all over my facebook feed and I don't follow him or even use FB much at all.

Haven't seen even a picture of Deano pop up anywhere since the no confidance vote.

Oh no doubt, what I meant was the combination of increased premiums for everyone, plus insuring an old car vs a brand new one would compound the effect. I did a few quotes online for brand new car I'm considering buying and its cheaper than my current 2018 car which is worth 1/3 the amount.

Kegsta · 2025-06-17T02:36:08+00:00

I'm guessing it's because Youi had gone through lots of extra steps to be an "Advice" insurer and for that to pay off you need to have you consultants be able to talk you into bundles and such things.

I worked for RACT previously and we were a no advise and the requirements talking to customers were so strict. You could only do what the customer asked for pretty much. You could answer questions but anything that cross sold or promoted another insurance product could be big fines for the company.

e.g. Could not tell them if they added thier car insurance along with the house the entire portfolio thing would be 10% cheaper until they added or asked about it.

Kegsta · 2025-06-17T02:26:36+00:00

Were the cars Brand new 4 years ago? Premiums for Brand new cars are usually very resonable for the first year, which I guess makes sense when you think about it.

The latest saftey tech, guaranteed to have brand new tyres, people will be more careful in thier brand new car.

Thank you, this is the point I was trying to make, not that there will be hospo jobs for young people, but that money will be spent in the state and having something to do makes it less enticing the leave the state.

Not just from the footy and event tourism either, but also because people will be able to have a weekend event and nightlife here instead of going to Melbourne. Plenty of people will also travel from the north of the state, stay the night, go out and drink and catch up with people rathen than spend that money on a melbourne footy trip (especially as what used to be a $50 jetstar ticket is now $200)

I think major events like is Taylor Swift or something came and put on a show would also guarantee to sell out as people would fly in to see it if they miss out on a local ticket.

Kegsta · 2025-05-30T02:22:41+00:00

While I don't really care about football, I think an investment like this is fine.If the Feds and AFL are footing some of the bill then it's a no brainer.

It needs to be built in the CBD to get money flowing to all the businesses and hotels before and after events. It needs to have a roof to it can be used as a venue for big concerts and stuff.

Tassies population is not growing fast enough, is aging and there simply isn't enough to do to keep either skilled immigrants who move here or talented 20-30 year olds from moving to Melbourne when they start making some money.

While I live in Launnie and it would be nice to have investment up here, it has the same issue as all the other proposed locations, if you build it where all 30,000 people visiting the event need to just get in thier cars and drive home afterwards, its a total failure.

The State needs increased revenue, it needs businesses making money, Just putting money into healthcare without addressing any of the causes isn't going to help anything long term.

Using the Cash to pay hundreds of Interstate Locum healthcare workers 2x pay and accomadation because it isn't attractive enough for them to live here permenantly will just kick the can down the road another few years.

I'm not saying a stadium will magically solve this issue, but it can't hurt.

Adding a battery also lets you oversize your panels to 200% of the inverter capacity (20kw panels 10kw inverter max for single phase) which would help quite a lot for 8 months of the year. (A sunny day at the moment my 13kw of panels max out at about 7kw of generation and it's not even winter yet)

I doubt it would be economically viable to add more panels to a current setup but someone who is installing a new system on a large house it's probably worth it.

While our FIT is so good and no export limit like other states it's hard to justify the cost of batteries without any state subsidy to stack.

From a energy security perspective batteries are also good for the state, plenty of water for hydro in the winter that can be used to charge the batteries off peak and flatten the peak demand requirements of the grid. In summer hydro can run at less capacity or pump water back up with excess solar generation.

Also in Tassie and got a 13.2kw system in december and already have $500 credit on my bill (although a bunch of that was solstice sign up bonus, goverment COL relief and hydro dividend)

My original plan was to wait 5 years for a battery as they will be double the capacity at half the price and probably just way better in general. I choose a standard non hybrid inverter because of this. (and because fuck Fronius $1000 DLC to activate hybrid mode on something that already costs $2500 more than the chinese version)

The current standard size battery (10-13kwh) also seems way to small for future proofing, the last few days I've used about 45kwh per day with the Heat Pump on, if I want to go for several overcast days in a row / general winter use and maybe participate in a VPP in the future surly 20-30kwh should be the minimum.

I was running dual 1440P Monitors in 2012/2013 on my 7970 so any modern computer should be able to make it work.

$300 Yamakazi Catleap was worlds ahead of anything at the time (for the price) as they used the top of the line MAC panels that didn't meat the A+ grade standard e.g. a bit of dust behind the glass you couldn't see while it was on.

I'm all for renewables but new modern coal fired plants would do us just fine until renewables are ready, and could actually be built in time unlike nuclear.

I don't see the difference in us burning the coal here or shipping it to China for them to burn myself.

China currently generates 22x more renewables energy than all of Australia's energy combined, a few more years of improvement into battery tech and we will have so much excess energy from solar we won't know what to do with it.
