Much has been said about Beenleigh's move from the Gold Coast City Council to Logan City in the recent shake up of local government boundaries.
The Minister responsible, Andrew Fraser, and the Premier have both said that this is a definite change and there will be no going back. In a record sitting, Parliament passed the legislation at 4:30 AM last Thursday morning.
So what does this mean for local residents? Some have bemoaned the end of their world as they know it, but most people are settled with that there can't be too much upheaval at all.
Director Sean Black comments on local council amalgamations in the Albert & Logan, discussing the benefits of delivering the services of the state government at local levels.
Quite often Agents get asked to cut their commissions by sellers stating that they will only list with you if you discount your commission.
There are agents out there who will discount their commission by as much as 50%...they'll also discount their level of service by 50%, and the price you get for your home....See where I'm going here....

This weekend was rather a special weekend. Our property manager Renee got married. She looked stunning and Adam looked pretty sharp too. Congratulations guys.
If you reject tenant tendering you believe in controled markets, this is the core of Communist ideology. Communism lead to shortages and the reduction in living standards. Communism was rejected world-wide, and we should also reject the Communist-based criticism of tenant tendering.
Recently, our tenant tender process has been discussed in a web forum and after taking the opportunity to respond, (which I did rather thoughtfully), my efforts were swiftly removed by the forum operator as I had linked to this site amd myself to personally address the concerns.
As this is a fair arguement, I have reposted those posts here.
Did you catch last Monday’s Australian Story on William Barton? Barton's words are still ringing in my ears; "If you're not innovating, you're imitating. There's no credit in imitation".
Is time Beeneligh became part of a super council with Logan? This week's local Albert and Logan News (a NLT Quest Publication) reported a leak from the State Government's local government boundaries review board saying that a new super-city is planned to encompass our local Beenleigh and Logan communities.
In a real estate market that is moving it's imperative that you don't under price your property. Equally frightening is the problem of over pricing. At Sean Black Property.com we guarantee the price we give to the extent of our commission. This means if we don't achieve the price we quote our agency pays the difference out of our commission.
That's the way real estate should work. Honest agents working hard to get a good price for their clients. In the absence of a good price, the agent carries the responsibility, not you.
