A Job Well Done by Dickens Real Estate!

We would like to express our appreciation of the team effort which resulted in the successful sale of our property this week. It was particularly gratifying given the current state of the housing market and the world-wide economic situation.

Our previous experiences dealing with real estate agents have not been completely satisfactory. Nobody has ever been rude of course, but at times we felt as though the agents considered they were doing us a favour by selling our property for us, rather than that we were both doing each other a favour.

What a contrast with your team! Nothing was too much trouble and everyone worked together to achieve the final outcome. Indeed, we both felt part of your team. When we made suggestions they were acted upon quickly or we were given acceptable reasons for not adopting them. In the latter case, we always had the feeling that they would have been trialled had we insisted.

We also enjoyed the friendly banter whenever you visited us, even though we were unable to get you to change your football allegiances to the Adelaide Crows!

From Sea To Tree Change

According to self-professed sea change expert, Margaret Gill:
The National Sea Change Taskforce project that in the next 15 years, 15% or nearly 1 million people could be making the change from the stress and demands of city life to a more peaceful existence near the sea or in the country.
In the township of beautiful Bright, and its surrounds, we’ve seen this phenomenon take hold. Families, retirees, individuals and even DINKS are packing up and making their tree change.

The gentle call of the peaceful (and affordable) stree-free lifestyle change has seen people shift their mindest from “Sea” to “Tree”. Whether it’s a holiday home, investment property or primary place of residence, the sales team are witnessing the slump of the Global Financial Crisis slowly dissipating. Consumers are regaining their confidence and sales are starting to rise.

Whatever it is you’re looking for, contact one of our team and we’ll help you make the amazing lifestyle shift to Bright – I’m speaking from experience here, because I did and haven’t looked back! It’s so much more that a “Tree Change”

Bright is situated in the picturesque Ovens Valley along the Great Alpine Road.

The population is around 3000 and there are very distinct seasons, each with its own magical qualities

Autumn is widely recognized as one of the peak times in the region with autumnal hues of red, orange and amber contrasted against magnificent blue skies.

Winter takes us into cooler conditions, perfect for heading down the nearby ski slopes or snuggling up by cosy log fires and sampling our gourmet local fare & cool climate wines.

Spring awakens another season full of exquisite blooms, colors and aromas to delight all senses.

Summertime is a frenzy of activity with all types of adventures sports, cool mountain rivers & streams, long lazy days with plenty of sunshine throughout the day and cooler night air.
