Property Management Newsletter - 10 Years In Business!
Tuesday, December 06, 2011
Welcome to the December 2011 Christmas edition of the Baird Real Estate
Property Management Newsletter.
This month Baird Real Estate turns 10! From humble beginnings and sheer hard work, Heath & Maxine Baird over the last 10 years have created a very strong independent Real Estate brand here in Cessnock.
“I can still remember how nervous I was on that first day when our doors opened” Heath reminisced “and I still remember our first clients, the support we were given by friends and family, all of that has contributed to our
success”
Heath & Maxine over the years have grown their business significantly. “We’ve nearly grown out of our office” Heath said “as the business grows, so does our team, so we have had to do some renovations over the years”. Not only has the business grown, but the industry has had some major changes and there has been some amazing innovations “I’ve had to brush up on my computer skills over the years, Real Estate is all about online these days, but the client relationship still remains the most significant, a part of the industry that will never change” Heath commented.
Heath, Maxine and the Team at Baird Real Estate would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our
Landlords, and wish everyone a very happy Christmas and wonderful 2012.
New Legislation - Water Compliance
A reminder to all Landlords that the period of grace to have your taps made compliant at your rental property is almost up. 1st February 2012 signals the deadline to be able to charge tenants for their water usage if this isn't done. We have enclosed a letter with further information please don't hesitate to contact us for further
information or to arrange a licensed plumber to attend your property.
Christmas Opening Hours
Our opening hours for the Christmas period will be as normal except for all public holiday dates. We are still
contactable on these dates via our after hours service on our land line number 02 4991 7977 then press 5 for Property Management.
The team at Baird Real Estate would like to send a huge thank you to all our Tradesman for all their help and prompt service throughout the year. We look forward to working with you in the New Year.
Gareth……...we miss you !
As most of you are aware, our Property Manager Gareth Hickey has been diagnosed with a rare form of tissue cancer, and as he undergoes treatment over the coming months we wish him all the best. Our friend and colleague is a strong, young, quick witted fellow and we know he will do a valiant job in recovering from this journey. The office is a lot quieter without him, so we say “hurry up and come back Gareth!”
