Why consider buying property in Cleveland?
Cleveland is about 25 kilometres southeast of Brisbane CBD, by the western shores of Moreton Bay. Because of its location, the suburb has become Redland City’s central locale. It also serves as the main transport hub to many adjacent suburbs, as well as the islands across the bay.
If you own property in Cleveland, you could then work at the CBD yet live in a spacious seaside setting at the same time. A property like this will always be of great value. to you as well as for any subsequent homeowner seeking that kind of lifestyle (if you decide to resell in the future).
A safe bayside community for any age
Cleveland neatly balances urban conveniences with the safety of a rural town. It’s a clean, quiet and laid-back community. You can smell the fresh sea breeze coming in from the bay and there are plenty of open spaces and parks. Yet you will also find industrial and commercial areas alongside residential developments and Redland City government offices. It may be a small suburb, but it has practically everything you need. And traffic on its streets is never a problem, as it’s always light.
This is what entices many people of various ages to move to Cleveland. Not surprisingly, its 14,000+ residents are a great mix of young families, middle-aged professionals and aging retirees. You can buy a home, raise a family and live out your life here.
A wide range of property choices
If you’re open to a lot of options for housing, Cleveland offers exactly that. There’s a wide range of property types available in this market, especially in recent years.
For mid-sized budgets, there are many multi-story residential units available in the area, as well as freestanding homes of various sizes. On the other end of the spectrum are Cleveland’s premium property developments, which tend to be clustered towards the coast. The most exclusive of these is Raby Bay’s large waterfront properties alongside the manmade canals.
Affordable lifestyle
Compared to areas closer to Brisbane, the cost of living in Cleveland is fairly affordable.
You will find all the supermarkets, restaurants, shops, schools, hospitals and other amenities you need spread throughout the suburb. On weekends, you and your family can enjoy sightseeing, dining or outdoor activities at the town centre, the Lighthouse and the Raby Bay Harbour area. Travelling in and out of Cleveland is also easy, as the daily commute by bus or transit from the main station can take you anywhere from Brisbane to the Gold Coast.
With the right buyers’ agent in Cleveland, you could find a strategically-positioned property that will place all these affordable conveniences within walking distance. In this way, you can future-proof the value of your investment in case Cleveland gets too popular with buyers – and grows too quickly!
Investing in Cleveland property
Brisbane’s growth will accelerate as preparations for the 2032 Olympics begin. This will bring in more growth in the nearby suburbs as well. Some areas will see a rise in real estate value; however, others may fall out of favour and be left behind.
Which is all the more reason for you to invest in the bayside suburbs like Cleveland.
Investment stability
Cleveland presents a stable investment opportunity. It has always been favourable to locals and visitors alike and will remain so in the coming years, no matter how Brisbane or the rest of the country fares.
That’s because the demand for properties here will always be constant. And since the Redland City government is determined to maintain the attractive, quiet, and spacious coastal living Cleveland is known for, housing developments will remain at low density.
Thus, whether you choose to live in Cleveland or turn your property into a rental, you can expect steady value growth. There won’t be wild fluctuations in capital gains over time. For the past several years, Cleveland’s average annual growth has been around 8.5% for stand-alone houses (and apartment units are at 1.03%).
The right location
Investing in Cleveland means you don’t have to deal with the same intense annual flooding that certain parts of Brisbane face.
However, because of the suburb’s location and topography, there will be a few streets or corners in Cleveland that may experience flooding when severe storms hit the Redlands coast. Moreover, if a property is on a waterfront, a storm can bring significant water damage to a house. So if you’re risk-averse and would rather not have these added factors to property maintenance, you must choose the right location in Cleveland.
You can refer to the storm and flood hazard maps that the Redland City Council provides, to help you figure out the areas you may want to avoid. It also helps if you have up-to-date local knowledge that only a buyers’ agent based in Cleveland can give you.
Why you need Tracey Chandler as your buyers’ agent in Cleveland
Coastal communities like Cleveland look ideal to visitors and would-be homeowners. But like all potential investments, you have to appraise property with the rose-tinted glasses off.
But can you be objective enough to do that? And do you also have the time and energy to devote to due diligence? Can you conduct a property search, evaluate homes, negotiate with sellers’ agents, and go through the whole arduous process of closing the deal and completing the purchase?
And are you familiar with which locations in Cleveland are better than others? Do you have the experience to identify signs that a particular house is a better deal than the others, or is problematic? Do you have the skills to haggle for the best price?
You cannot possibly do all that, stay ahead of other competing buyers, and win the property of your dreams, unless you are a full-time agent in the real estate industry. Therefore, you need to get a buyers’ agent in Cleveland to help you.
And Tracey Chandler is that buyers’ agent in Cleveland you need. She can give you the insider’s knowledge of the local property market you need and the persuasiveness to hammer out a deal that best suits your brief and budget.
What a buyers agent in Cleveland like Tracey Chandler brings
Having Tracey on your side gives you certain key advantages.
An insider’s first access
Since she’s both a buyers’ agent and a homeowner in the area, Tracey Chandler is an “insider.” She knows all of the bayside suburbs near Brisbane, especially Cleveland. More importantly, she easily finds out who in Cleveland is selling the kind of property you seek, just a few hours or days after they’ve told their real estate agent of their intention.
That’s because Tracey has her network of contacts among real estate agents in the area. They prefer reaching out to potential clients through her first, even before their own clients’ properties get publicly listed. And sometimes, these never even go public. That means you gain first access to all the off-market properties, which widens the field for you and makes your property search easier.
A professional’s experienced eye
If you’ve managed to spot properties in Cleveland that seem right for you, your lack of experience won’t be a problem when it comes to assessing them.
Tracey has spent years being a buyers’ agent and a homeowner-investor herself, so she has an eye for these things. She can tell you if a house for sale is a bad deal in disguise. She’ll protect you from any seller’s tricks and hype, or from getting tricked into buying a home for a price higher than its actual value.
The skills of a fierce buyer’s advocate
Once you’ve decided on which property to target, don’t worry about your skills at negotiating or bidding.
Tracey has years of experience in negotiating with sellers’ agents and dealing with property auctions. She is famous in the industry for being a formidable advocate for her clients during negotiations. She is a fierce presence at auctions, where she quickly dominates the bidding floor without losing her cool or her eye on what your budget limits are.
Fast paperwork
Once you’ve made an offer that a seller accepts, you need to move quickly to close the deal and complete the contract (or get to contract unconditional). If you’re too slow, some other buyer might hear of the deal and make a counter offer that tempts the seller away.
No problem; Tracey Chandler will handle the paperwork for you. She has a network of contacts in other related industries as well (i.e., construction and interior design, finance, building and pest control) who can help deal with any requirements or questions you might have before signing off on the contract. She’ll get you that contract done within the same day as the deal. You’ll be able to make the downpayment and get the keys to your new property the soonest time possible.
The Tracey Chandler red carpet treatment
There’s one more important thing Tracey Chandler can deliver to you: her “red carpet” treatment.
As her client, you get Tracey’s exceptional and highly-personalised service. She prefers getting to know you personally and handling every detail of your property investment for you. Because Tracey knows that means there’s no bureaucracy for you to deal with. You can interact with her directly and it makes coordinating with her much easier. She will never pass on your account and brief to any assistant. You’ll be dealing with Tracey and only Tracey!
Tracey’s first step is to meet you and confirm what it is you’re looking for. Among the details she’ll discuss with you are:
- your preferred location in Cleveland
- your short- and long-term financial goals
- your budget
- the kind of home you need (i.e., size, architectural style and features, etc.)
- preferred nearby amenities (e.g., schools, hospitals, commercial areas, mass transit)
- your family’s personal needs
Once she has your brief, Tracey will make sure that the list of properties she finds are just for you. There won’t be any other client who’ll be competing for the same properties; the list is exclusive to you. So you need not worry about internal competition.
As mentioned, Tracey will handle every detail of the investment for you. She will guide you through the whole process. All you need to do is go to the property viewings, make decisions, and transfer funds for the purchase.
In short, getting Tracey Chandler as your buyers’ agent in Cleveland will make your property investment less of a risk and more of a journey towards financial success.
