Olympian Andrew Trim has released his book Real Estate Dangers and How to Avoid Them as the essential toolkit for making smarter decisions as a buyer, seller and landlord.
Whether looking for a dream home, to sell a property, or to invest, flip or rent out an existing investment, this book lifts the lid on the real estate industry in Australia, to ensure the best result when the gavel comes down. From the unfair remuneration of employees, to the danger of paying for excessive exposure, Trim shines a light on the flawed and unnecessary aspects of the real estate industry; this book will help readers make smarter decisions based on knowledge rather than advice, saving time, money and a headache.
Australia is a nation obsessed with real estate, with more than half of the wealth of Australian households in residential property. Nearly everyone will have their hands in real estate at some point, but in a nation obsessed by the industry, fewer than nine per cent of Australians think that real estate agents are honest and ethical. Although it can be intimidating, the real estate industry can be quite simple, if you eliminate distractions and focus on making smarter decisions for your benefit.
Real Estate Dangers and How to Avoid Them features guidance for buyers, sellers, and landlords, on how to steer clear of the traps and pitfalls lurking around every transaction. The book helps readers to make smart decisions, minimise financial risk and identify unnecessary add-ons and bogus charges. It will also teach the tricks of the trade to save money, and uncover how to become a smarter landlord, attract and maintain quality tenants.
Olympian Andrew Trim began his real estate career in 1992 after competing at the Barcelona Olympics in the sport of kayaking. His athletic career continued and he was world champion in 1997, medalled in both the Atlanta and Sydney Olympic Games and won numerous Australian and state titles over a 15-year international career. Since purchasing as a small business in 2007, he has gone on to grow The Johnson Real Estate Group into a thriving business which operates across South East Queensland.
