Home buyers relieved - renovating not so hard


Peta Muller reported this story 27 October 2009.

Buyers chasing properties to renovate are in for some much needed relief thanks to the creation of a new website.

Historically, searching for renovation properties has been time consuming and labour intensive with purchasers having to research newspapers, contact agents and screen websites just to find a renovator delight.

With the introduction of http://www.findmeareno.com.au/ enables users to quickly search for renovation properties Australia wide, by state, area and suburb from their desktop, view the properties online and contact the selling agent for more information.

Former Real Estate Agent Stephanie Rawling has created the concept which allows home buyers to subscribe at a cost of $60 per state, per month and receive renovation property alerts based on their search criteria.

"FindMeAReno eliminates most of the hard work as buyers can handle the searching process from their office or home desktop, saving them time and money,” she said.

"With thousands of properties on the market at any one time, buyers specifically seeking out properties they want to renovate, need to do a lot of searching to find one that's right for them," she said.

The website allows users to view samples of properties on the home page giving them enough information to decide if they want to subscribe, and then enabling them to apply on the same page.

"FindMeAReno provides a database of thousands of renovation properties, Australia wide, and users of the site can search online quickly and easily," said Ms Rawling.

Ms Rawling notes that because the site links through to other websites; it provides another opportunity for agents to advertise their property listings.

"If they can get more exposure for their properties at no extra cost, they are happy about that, and we have had a very good response from Real Estate Agents," she said.
