Google to pay $118 million to settle gender discrimination lawsuit The class-action suit covers about 15,500 women
Google is set to pay $118 million to settle a class-action gender discrimination lawsuit that includes around 15,500 women (via Bloomberg). As noted in the settlement’s press release, Google is also required to have an independent labor economist evaluate its hiring practices and pay equity studies.
The lawsuit first emerged in 2017 after three women filed a complaint accusing the company of underpaying female workers in violation of California’s Equal Pay Act, citing a wage gap of around $17,000. The complaint also alleges Google locks women into lower career tracks, leading to less pay and lower bonuses when compared to their male counterparts. The plaintiffs won class-action status last year.
Google’s treatment of workers has been the target of scrutiny more than once. Last year, Google agreed to pay $2.5 million to settle a lawsuit that claimed the company underpaid female engineers and overlooked Asian job applicants. California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) is also investigating the company over complaints of potential harassment and discrimination against Black female employees.
A NUMBER OF SIMILAR LAWSUITS TARGETING PAY GAPS HAVE SURFACED WITHIN THE LAST DECADE
“As a woman who’s spent her entire career in the tech industry, I’m optimistic that the actions Google has agreed to take as part of this settlement will ensure more equity for women,” Holly Pease, a plaintiff in the case, said in a statement. “Google, since its founding, has led the tech industry. They also have an opportunity to lead the charge to ensure inclusion and equity for women in tech.”
The terms of the settlement still need to be approved by a judge in a hearing that will take place on June 21st. “While we strongly believe in the equity of our policies and practices, after nearly five years of litigation, both sides agreed that resolution of the matter, without any admission or findings, was in the best interest of everyone, and we’re very pleased to reach this agreement,” Google said In a statement to The Verge. The company added that it’s “absolutely committed to paying, hiring and leveling all employees fairly and equally,” and that it makes “upward adjustments” if it finds a pay disparity between male and female employees.
A number of similar lawsuits targeting pay gaps have surfaced within the last decade, with class-action gender discrimination suits against Microsoft and Twitter failing to gain traction. Oracle is also facing a class-action lawsuit alleging unequal pay, but according to Bloomberg Law, the group of women suing the company will likely lose class-action status after a judge said a class with 3,000 employees and 125 job classifications would be “unmanageable to proceed to trial.” Other tech companies, like Apple and Riot Games, have also faced accusations of pay inequality.
Update June 12th, 12:39PM ET: Updated to add a statement from Google.

Brisbane Rental demand has transitioned towards detached and lower density housing markets since the pandemic, reflecting the disruption to rental demand from overseas migration, but also the stress of changed working conditions, caused by Covid restrictions.
Westpac is forecasting 20 per cent gains in the housing market over the next two years.
In a report released Monday, the banking institution’s chief economist Bill Evans said he was expecting dwelling prices to rise 10 per cent nationally in 2021, and said the pace would continue into 2022, off the back of strong economic growth.
“The upturn is being supported by record low interest rates; the confident expectation among borrowers that these rates will remain low for years to come; ample credit supply; and an improving economic backdrop, as the roll-out of vaccines promises to bring the pandemic to an end and drives a sustained lift in confidence,” Evans said.
“The bottom line is that Australia’s housing upturn now has strong momentum that looks to be lifting further and will remain well supported by monetary conditions and an improving economic backdrop.”
Dwelling approvals surged 22 per cent in the final quarter of 2020, and new lending for dwellings lifted by 16 per cent in the December quarter, which Evans says demonstrates a robust and confident housing market.
“Most tellingly, buyer demand has run well ahead of ‘on market’ supply, with sales outstripping new listings by 34 per cent over the last six months and ‘stock on market’ down to just 2.5 months of sales—[where] the long run average is 3.8,” he said.
“A lift in new listings will no doubt be forthcoming but for now this is clearly a seller’s market.”
House prices forecast: Westpac
Average 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022
Sydney 5.1 -8.9 5.3 2.7 10 10
Melbourne 3.7 -7 5.3 -1.3 8 10
Brisbane 1.7 0.2 0.3 3.6 10 10
Perth -1 -4.7 -6.8 1.9 12 8
Adelaide 1.9 1.3 -0.2 5.9 10 8
Hobart 3.9 8.7 3.9 6.1 8 6
Australia 3.5 -6.4 3.1 1.8 10 10

Unsurprisingly it was the smaller capital cities and regional towns that were most likely to capitalise on these forecast dwelling price increases.
There was still concerns about lingering areas of weakness, specifically the Sydney and Melbourne high rise markets, but according to the Westpac Housing Pulse report they look to be a minor drag on the broader market surge.
Evans said it was the regions that had been largely unaffected by virus disruptions and benefitted from related shifts in internal migration flows that would see the biggest boost in property prices.
Evans said they were also predicting good news for the labour market.
“Australia is expected to see growth well above trend this year and next. The unemployment rate is forecast to decline steadily to 6 per cent by end of 2021, and 5.3 per cent by end of 2022.
“We now expect the upswing to generate stronger, double-digit, price growth near term while our expectation, back in September last year, remains that a policy response can be expected later in 2022 which will settle markets into 2023.”
A high number of developers are planning to roll-out of new offices projects over the next six months as a rebound in confidence ignites financing and speculative projects, according to NAB’s quarterly commercial sentiment survey.
To date, Australia has faired much better than most other countries on both the health and economic fronts, with many activities now returning close to their pre-pandemic normal.
The recovery from the pandemic-driven recession is now filtering through into commercial property market sentiment, with NAB’s survey, a measure of sentiment based on expectations for capital values and rents, lifting for a consecutive quarter.
“While [our] index lifted for the second straight quarter, it is still very negative and well below the long-term survey average,” NAB chief economist Alan Oster said.
“However, expectations are improving for a stronger near-term recovery in economic activity and a lower peak in unemployment, which is seeing overall confidence levels in commercial property markets improve.”
Sentiment continues to diverge across sectors amid ongoing travel restrictions, with office and retail sentiment lifting and CBD hotels continuing to lag, sitting as the weakest asset class.
Industrial sentiment however rose sharply over the quarter, supported by ever growing demand in online retail and continued requirements for available warehouse and logistics space.
Office markets Sydney aerial shot
▲ Vacancy rates in the country's two biggest office markets, Sydney and Melbourne, have already risen significantly over the last six months.
On the development front, over half of property developers surveyed said they planned to commence works on new office projects in the short-term, up from 39 per cent in the previous survey.
“The survey highlights a shift in emphasis among property developers planning to start new works from residential to commercial building,” Oster said.
“A below average of developers said they were targeting residential developments, down from the previous quarter, but more are planning to start new works in the industrial, office and retail sectors.”
Shoring-up optimism has been the post-vaccine outlook for revenue and profitability.
Despite this, longer-term changes to workplace are still playing out as employers and staff seek a new balance in flexible work arrangements.
Of the 370 property professionals surveyed by NAB the average expect over three in four (77 per cent) of white collar workers will return to CBD offices post-Covid.
Some forecast a reduction of as much as 10-15 per cent in annual net absorption as work-from-home rates increase and firms search for 80 per cent of their existing CBD office foot print post-Covid, offset by greater workplace space ratios.
NAB said it expects the national vacancy rate, which remains unchanged at 9 per cent, to climb to 9.4 per cent in the next 12 months as businesses attempt to reduce their property footprints, before easing to 8.9 per cent in two years’ time.
“The outlook for capital growth for the next two years is for contraction in office, retail and CBD hotels, but at a slower rate than forecast in the third quarter,” Oster said.
“Industrial property expectations were however upgraded, and raised in all states, insulated by unchanged vacancy rates of 5.8 per cent.”
Property professionals also pointed to a big improvement in the ease of acquiring debt and equity to run their businesses across the fourth quarter.
They also expect debt and equity funding conditions to continue improving over the next six months, bringing them back to levels not seen since mid-2015.
Across the quarter, the average pre-commitment to meet external debt funding requirements for new developments in Australia fell to 63.3 per cent for residential property, but increased to 60.6 per cent for commercial.

Brisbane housing market forecasts
ANZ economists forecast Brisbane house prices will rise by 9.5 per cent next year, as low interest rates and government stimulus flow through the economy while Commonwealth Bank updated its forecasts, projecting a strong rebound in prices across the second half of 2021.
CBA now expects Brisbane house prices to increase by 16.6 per cent to December 2022 compared to 13.7 per cent in Sydney and 12.4 per cent in Melbourne.
Westpac has also updated its property forecasts, with Brisbane real estate prices tipped to surge 20 per cent between 2022 and 2023.

The perils and pitfalls of renting out a room
If you thought renting out a room was a simple way to make money, you’ve clearly not kept up with Australia’s tax regime.
The only thing missing from the ATO’s mathematical paroxysms on the subject are some logarithms and a side order of fries.
With people across the country looking for new ways to generate income as employment dries up and the economy submerges into a deep recession, some homeowners have turned to their biggest asset as a potential life buoy.
Renting out a spare room or forsaking the home office to get a tenant in on a short or longer term basis seems like a fairly straight forward way of earning some extra dollars.
But Australia’s tax system is regarded as one of the most complex in the world, as any expatriate or overseas resident who has completed a comparatively simple tax return elsewhere can attest.
Illustrating the point is the way in which the seemingly benign decision to rent out that room sends the Australian Taxation Office into a routine more complex and far less attractive than a rhythmic gymnast’s floor routine.
To make things easier for those who are struggling to make ends meet and subsequently have to invite strangers to live in their home, page 15 of the ATO’s 19-page renter’s toolkit does its best to clarify the process.
Ominously, the ATO toolkit has a footnote in bold warning that “This is a general summary only”. Presumably there are Jedi Knights equipped to delve into the murkier depths of the tax obligations based on the humble act of renting out a room.
Anyway, once you’ve cleaned up your tenant’s breakfast dishes and contended with the above, there’s still (quite) a few other factors to consider.
The tax office also wants a piece of the following from you – all income before fees and commissions; insurance payouts, e.g. compensation for damage caused by renting; bonds or security deposits you become entitled to retain; and letting and booking fees you charge, including cancellation fees.
But if bringing the ATO on board as an invisible additional tenant (who also won’t wash your dishes) has derailed your plans, there is still some smudgy light breaking through the taxulus not-very-nimbleus clouds.
You may (and a tax scientist will be your best bet for determining this each-way bet) be able to claim council rates; interest on a loan for the property; electricity and gas; property insurance; cleaning (presumably not the dishes); maintenance costs; fees or commission charged by the platform; and other expenses that directly relate to the earning of your rental income.
But there’s a catch. There’s usually a catch with the ATO. How much of the expense you can claim will depend on the number of days you rent out the room or whole property during the year and the portion of the property you have rented out (e.g. a room or the whole property).
It might still all be for nothing
So you’ve decided, “To hell with it, I need some money and don’t care about the backroom chap holding a rave in the spare room at 11am on a Tuesday”.
Before you get too excited, it’s worth weighing up the fact that you may have legally handed over any claim to the house actually being entirely yours, for tax purposes at least.
If COVID-19 has taken your job, you may have decided to sell your house. Panic not – the ATO is here to help again. And by help, I mean help take your money so politicians can retain their 15.4 per cent superannuation while unabashedly considering denying workers any rise to their less deserving 9.5 per cent.
You ordinarily don’t pay capital gains tax (CGT) when you sell your own home. But renting out a room renders you extraordinary, although not in a superpowers kind of way. More in a 'whatever I do I have the special ability to never quite get ahead' kind of way.
The reality is that if you’ve rented out the spare room, you may take a hit by paying tax on any profit you might make on its sale. The calculations and variables are again opaque, but the ATO helpfully provides a Capital gains tax property exemption tool and – I’m not making this up – 666 introductory words of explanation. The devil is obviously in the detail.
The ATO kindly concludes on its renters’ website, “For more information, speak with your tax agent.”
You might as well get onto it now. The dishes can wait.

There are growing concerns that the utility of the HomeBuilder scheme
There are growing concerns that the utility of the HomeBuilder scheme is being undermined as the current structure is not giving lenders the confidence to accept the grant as funds to complete.
The $25,000 HomeBuilder grants were launched earlier this year to drive economic activity across the residential construction sector.
Consisting of a $25,000 grant for owner-occupiers “substantially renovating” or building a new home this year, the grants are means tested, with the government setting income caps of $125,000 for singles and $200,000 for couples.
While the grants have been popular with borrowers, its progress has been stymied by a lack of lenders accepting the grant as funds to complete, according to the broking industry.
Speaking to The Adviser about the issue, Connective director Mark Haron outlined that several heads of industry were looking to improve the process so that it would more readily align to that of the First Home Owners Grants (introduced on 1 July 2000 to offset the effect of the GST on home ownership) - and give lenders more confidence in accepting it in applications.
He explained: “Ideally, what we'd like to see is it being handled like the FIrst Home Owners Grant… The [HomeBuilder] scheme works really well for someone who might have the money or access to the funds and is not reliant on getting the $25,000 up front. So they should still be able to still apply for it individually and directly and receive it.
“But, in a lot of the cases, [the people accessing this grant are] first time buyers who - because the grant is income assessed - are lower income people. So, the issue is that if lenders are not accepting this grant as part of the funds to complete, it affects [the borrowers’] ability to buy and build a home.
“It would be great if the documentation and the process was handled like the FHOG; so that brokers can help customers complete those forms, they submit those applications to the lender, and then the lender knows that they're in the position to use that $25,000 grant as part of the funds to complete.”
Mr Haron said that this would potentially have the added benefit of reducing the loan-to-value ratio for borrowers and, in some cases, negating the need for Lenders Mortgage Insurance.
Brokers have also reached out to The Adviser to voice their frustrations with the roadblocks in utilising the HomeBuilder grant on applications.“The HomeBuilders Grant in Qld of $25,000 cant be processed by the lenders as they have not been appointed agents for the grant, unlike the FHOG where they can manage the funds.
“So, the grant is not available until the slab has gone down, which means the client has to incur the cost and then apply for the grant… The lenders subsequently are not taking the grant into consideration, which means they are charging mortgage insurance on the loans to the customers unnecessarily.
“So, [it seems that] customers can use the grant for any other purpose once the funds are directed to them, which is defeating the purpose of the grant to boost construction,” he said.
The Queensland-based broker told The Adviser that he had also waited nearly two calendar months to receive the correct application forms for the grant in Queensland, “during which time every available block of land was snapped up by home buyers doing their sums and working out with their savings they could get a once in a lifetime boost of $45,000 in regional Qld enabling them to have nearly 15 per cent equity in their new home (average cost of $450,000)”.
Mr McLoughlin lamented: “Now we have developers who have run out of stock but cannot get land settled, pressure being applied to borrowers who cannot get loans approved, borrowers obtaining gifts or loans to make up for the grant shortfall to ensure they don’t borrow too much and waste the equity, and everything is in a state of flux as the market is full but no one can move forward until this all gets resolved,” he said.
The broker added it was a Catch-22 as developers did not feel confident enough to push forward with building homes as they are “scared of getting caught holding the blocks of land and builders not sure if they are going to meet the demand as the houses have to be completed within three months according to the application forms”.
He added that Queensland was expecting a “big wet season early next year”, which could impact on the developers and builders further.
The solution
Given the issues being faced, Mr Haron commented that while some lenders are “looking at it and hoping to have a resolution or part of a resolution to it going forward”, he hoped that more lenders would “get behind this and support this as well”.
Both Mr Haron and Mr McLoughlin said it would help if lenders could manage the funds from the Homebuilder scheme to give them confidence to use it in serviceability calculations and reduce deposits (and therefore LMI).

Management and property sale by L J Gilland Real Estate.
I
would describe our dealings with Linda and Carlos as excellent in our
association with them as rental property managers for almost 13 years on our
investment property. We were always kept informed of any issues, the property
was well maintained, and rental return was well placed for the market.
Due to impending retirement, the decision was made to sell the property.
Linda carried out the market research, and ensured we were well informed on all
aspects of the requirements to place the property on the market, all costs, and
our options for advertising and target price. We had a contract for sale within
1 week, and the successful sale followed. I would like to take the opportunity
to not only thank them, but to highly recommend them for the services they
provide.

Regional Victoria (-0.5%) and regional Western Australia (-3.2%) were the only non-capital city markets to record a fall in values over the month.

According to CoreLogic’s head of research, Tim Lawless, housing markets have remained relatively resilient through the COVID period so far. “The impact from COVID-19 on housing values has been orderly to-date, with CoreLogic’s national index falling only 1.6% since the recent high in April and housing turnover has recovered quickly after it’s sharp fall in late March and April.”
“Record low interest rates, government support and loan repayment holidays for distressed borrowers have helped to insulate the housing market from a more significant downturn. Advertised supply levels have remained tight, with the total number of properties for sale falling a further 4.3% in the 4 weeks to July 27th, sitting 15.2% below where they were this time last year. Additionally, increased demand driven by housing specific incentives from both federal and state governments, especially for first home buyers, have become more substantial.”

However, with fiscal support set to taper from October and repayment holidays expiring at the end of March next year, Mr Lawless believes the medium term outlook remains skewed to the downside.
“Urgent sales are likely to become more common as we approach these milestones, which will test the market’s resilience. Similarly, the recent concerns of a second wave of the virus and the potential for renewed border closures and stricter social distancing polices are likely to further push consumer sentiment down. This is likely to weigh on both home buying and selling activity more broadly.” Core logic home value index august 2020 by @GillandDebello #propertyinvestmentmanagementandsales https://www.slideshare.net/GillandDebello/core-logic-home-value-index-august-2020 via @SlideShare

Property Investor & Tenant Testimonials
Property Management and property sale by L J Gilland Real Estate.
I would describe our dealings with Linda and
Carlos as excellent in our association with them as rental property managers
for almost 13 years on our investment property. We were always kept informed of
any issues, the property was well maintained, and rental return was well placed
for the market.
Due to impending retirement, the decision was made to sell the property.
Linda carried out the market research, and ensured we were well informed on all
aspects of the requirements to place the property on the market, all costs, and
our options for advertising and target price. We had a contract for sale within
1 week, and the successful sale followed. I would like to take the opportunity
to not only thank them, but to highly recommend them for the services they provide.
To
everyone at L J Gilland Real Estate and review readers, Very recently we rented this Caboolture home without
advertising, just our for rent sign. We
just saw a #testimonial and #review by the #Property #investor #landlord for
which we are thankful and grateful that they wrote this. These moments wherein as a Team at LJ Gilland
Real Estate we truly work passionately and hard for all Clients and that we are
appreciated by kind words like this are treasured by all of us here. START Over the past 3 years, we have been 'customers' after
referral from a work colleague.As a current customer, we can recommend the services of
this real estate.Why we hear you say?Well - when they make time to meet, they are there on
time.Communications - both in person and via Emails are
professional, courteous, and respectful.Legals - staff are aware of the laws relating to rentals
- for both owners and tenants. This is very important with recent 'COVID 19'
alterations to the laws.Carlos and his workshop on wheels can be relied upon to
fix all those 'little things' that make a difference (without overpriced
charges) - which is truly appreciated.Value - In comparison to other companies, you can't go
wrong. In a nutshell, this is a team who 'know the ropes', who
care for your property for you, who present it and promote it in a professional
way, who observe and follow laws related to the rental. Thank you for reading SincerelyBob and CaroleMorayfield

they treat them as their own. It has been their diligence and sense of
ownership that has enabled us to handle investment properties. If you proceed

the process is complete. They managed repairs and maintenance on all properties
so that they were never a worry. They know the property and the tenants, are
very familiar with the laws of the tenancy and therefore would be able to steer

are very diplomatic and appreciate the challenges of dealing with people. We

Through the purchase of this property I’ve had the pleasure to meet Linda whom I’ve come to know as a very genuine person with in-depth knowledge about the current market and is very dedicated and passionate about her work. With her guidance, the entire purchasing process was extremely smooth and hassle-free.
This the property had tenants prior to my purchase and has been managed by Linda and Carlos since it was nearly new. I feel very privileged and assured to have Linda and Carlos continue looking after this property for me.

When we first joined the ranks of owning an investment property 20+ years ago we were introduced to L J Gilland Real Estate with Linda and Carlos. They have looked after a couple of different properties for us over the years in a very professional and reliable manner, even selling our first investment property for us, with a tenant in place. We have found them to be extremely helpful in the way they look after all aspects of managing our property, from finding good, reliable tenants to saving us money on maintenance, as Carlos will go above and beyond to ensure that, if he can fix a problem at minimal cost, he does. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone needing a Property Management team for their own investment property. Being a family owned and operated business allows them the ability to keep all fees and charges to a minimum.

Paula, there are no words that could describe your value to Carlos, Hazel and I for all our experiences over 20 years relationship on many levels. We would need an essay to try to explain how humbly thankful you and your family have been in our lives. You are a Star!
Only a small segment of property management companies go out of their way to help tenants with their move-in and move-out experience. Carlos, Linda and their Team pay attention to the kinds of things tenants might need when moving in or out (e.g. Carlos travels in a highly decked out ute filled with all the cleaning gear we would ever need and how to fix or rectify issues with the rental property) and they will help you feel less stressed out during the these processes, and we truly appreciate LJ Gilland Real Estate filling in those gaps.

Felkiz Navidad Carlos and Linda. Below is our review! We are ok for you to use our names and publish it 🙂
Our experience with LJ Gilland has been absolutely amazing. Their knowledge, professionalism, and guidance through the rental process is simply astonishing. They helped us in every aspect of the process of renting our first investment property and in moments it felt as if they were only focused on our property.
Carlos, Linda and their team do their best to answer every question and offer solutions to any blockers. They also take care of details as if they are owners of the property. Their advice has been invaluable and because of their relentless work, we quickly found great tenants for our property.
We are extremely pleased with their work and we fully recommend them for your property management needs.
Thanks a lot, Linda and Carlos!
Thank you, Michael and Danielita 😊 We highly value our relationship with you both, and thank you for your kind words with sincere gratitude.

“Hi Linda and Carlos,
I like to take this opportunity to thank you both and your team for the excellent management service.
Since moved our properties to your agent, we are really enjoying a trustable, reliable, and trouble-free property management. Especially when we have some unknowns, Carlos always patiently explains to us, or step by step teach us even let us use his own tools.
Because of your outstanding service, we will keep our properties under your management forever.
Thanks again for your excellent property management!

“Wonderful service and excellent outcomes across the board. Linda and Carlos have been a pleasure to work with during the 10 years they managed our investment property, including the eventual sale. Engaging and personable, Linda and Carlos are always professional and consistently provide excellent, attentive service. I love the way they keep everyone informed in a timely manner and always seek the best outcomes for all parties involved. It’s been a wonderful association and I couldn’t be more enthusiastic about recommending their services.”

“It truly saddens my wife and me that our relationship with L J Gilland (Linda and Carlos) is coming to an end after a 12-year wonderful relationship.
We had a hassle-free investment for the entire time while our home was in their most capable hands. Any repairs would be handled by Carlos very quick and efficiently.
During the sale, Linda worked relentlessly with only one aim in mind, to sell our home for the best possible price and as soon as possible.
We are so proud to have been associated with Linda and Carlos especially through our recent events that have led to the sale of our home. With nothing but our best interests at heart, they managed to alleviate a huge burden on us in record time (within a week).
Thank you for being in our lives and all the fond memories associated with it.”

“Linda & Carlos @ L J Gilland real estate agents have managed our investment property from new since 2004. During which time they have always maintained full occupancy with trouble-free tenants, whilst attaining best rental returns for the area. All maintenance issues were always dealt with promptly by Carlos with a minimum of ease for us. Having decided to sell the property early last year Linda & Carlos were without a doubt the obvious agents to market and sell the property for us. Within weeks they had a buyer and sealed the best price during the current market conditions for that area at that time. Thanks again, Linda & Carlos.”

“I’ve known Linda and Carlos since 2002 and they have rented all my investment properties over the years. They do a fantastic job as husband and wife. They may well be one of the only family-orientated property agencies around. They offer that extra personal touch with their genuine approach to servicing and satisfaction and long term business culture. When it came time to sell one of my rentals it was a natural progression to list the property for sale with them. They understood the market, new my property inside out (literally), and were poised to maximize my selling target. They always get back to you and have a great team behind them, so I would highly recommend you give them a go if you’re renting or selling or looking to buy. Thanks to you and the team.”

Property Investor & Vendor Review
“Found the land, designed and built the investment property & managed it at 5.3 – 7% Yield.
Choose LIndaandCarlos DeBello of LJ Gilland Real Estate, an Agent that is interested in the relationship of everyone involved and takes into account what’s best for all parties not just earning a commission.
LindaandCarlos will always have a relationship already formed with your Tenant which makes it so much easier to sell your Investment Property with a Tenant in place.
It makes sense that keeping a Tenant in place on a fixed-term lease ensures that the property is still income-producing and if your Agent knows the market well, then the rental return should look attractive to a Prospective Purchaser.
In my experience, most Agents will recommend that the Tenant be evicted and the property left vacant whilst on the market. This is poor advice as there is no income generated on the property whilst on the market for sale, and it will not look appealing to Prospective Investors.
Choose LJ Gilland Real Estate to sell your Tenanted property. If your property is managed by another Agent and you want to sell, transfer to LJ Gilland Real Estate and we will remove the hassle from sales and rentals aiming at the best result possible in any challenging real estate market, whilst making selling a sweet, smooth and nurturing experience for all involved.”

“Interesting experience
A totally different sales approach to what I was accustomed to, although I have not been in the home buying or selling for almost three decades.
New age so all advertising is done via internet media.
It was a team effort by both Linda & Carlos that got the sale through.
A family business that put in the effort for their clients.

“Wonderful service and excellent outcomes across the board. Linda and Carlos have been a pleasure to work with during the 10 years they managed our investment property, including the eventual sale. Engaging and personable, Linda and Carlos are always professional and consistently provide excellent, attentive service. I love the way they keep everyone informed in a timely manner and always seek the best outcomes for all parties involved. It’s been a wonderful association and I couldn’t be more enthusiastic about recommending their services.”

Property Investor & Buyer Review
“Linda and Carlos are honest people. They delivered all their promises and their evaluation of the market was realistic and my purchase was smooth. The property was tenants prior to my purchase. Linda and Carlos are managing the property for me and they were on top of all the maintenance and rental matters. I am privileged to have them looking after my investment.”

Property Investor & Vendor Review
“It truly saddens my wife and me that our relationship with L J Gilland (Linda and Carlos) is coming to an end after a 12-year wonderful relationship.
We had a hassle-free investment for the entire time while our home was in their most capable hands. Any repairs would be handled by Carlos very quick and efficiently.
During the sale, Linda worked relentlessly with only one aim in mind, to sell our home for the best possible price and as soon as possible.
We are so proud to have been associated with Linda and Carlos especially through our recent events that have led to the sale of our home. With nothing but our best interests at heart, they managed to alleviate a huge burden on us in record time (within a week).
Thank you for being in our lives and all the fond memories associated with it.”
– Linda and John Ryan.

“Linda & Carlos @ L J Gilland real estate agents have managed our investment property from new since 2004. During which time they have always maintained full occupancy with trouble-free tenants, whilst attaining best rental returns for the area. All maintenance issues were always dealt with promptly by Carlos with a minimum of ease for us. Having decided to sell the property early last year Linda & Carlos were without a doubt the obvious agents to market and sell the property for us. Within weeks they had a buyer and sealed the best price during the current market conditions for that area at that time. Thanks again, Linda & Carlos.”

“Our property has been rented with this agency for 9 years and in that time we were always looked after. Everything from happy renters to all work getting done on the property. Then we decided to sell the property and we liaise with the agency well. All correspondence was easy via email, as our property was in Queensland and we are in Victoria. They helped with the negotiations of the end of the sale.”

“I’ve known Linda and Carlos since 2002 and they have rented all my investment properties over the years. They do a fantastic job as husband and wife. They may well be one of the only family-orientated property agencies around. They offer that extra personal touch with their genuine approach to servicing and satisfaction and long term business culture. When it came time to sell one of my rentals it was a natural progression to list the property for sale with them. They understood the market, new my property inside out (literally), and were poised to maximize my selling target. They always get back to you and have a great team behind them, so I would highly recommend you give them a go if you’re renting or selling or looking to buy. Thanks to you and the team.”

“I have been using the Linda and Carlos team for over 10 years to successfully manage one of my investment properties for rental and, finally, for the sale of the property. Linda has always been very approachable to discuss issues a provide current rental marketing advice. Carlos has been ever vigilant of the property conditions and getting maintenance issues attended to in as short a time and as economical as possible.
I can sincerely recommend this company for the management of rental and sale of properties.”

“Ten years we had our rental property, L.J Gilland managed it, in all that time we never had a bad renter in our house because the applicants were carefully chosen. When it came time to sell, we had L J Gilland to handle the sale, they did low-cost advertising because they have a large database of investors who they contacted about our house which gave us a quick sale, and at a price, we were very happy with.”

“As long time managing agents of our investment property Linda and Carlos arranged all the paperwork and organized contractors to carry out minor repairs to ensure the property was in the best condition to sell.

Property Investor & Vendor Review
“Found the land, designed and built the investment property & managed it at 5.3 – 7% Yield.
Choose LIndaandCarlos DeBello of LJ Gilland Real Estate, an Agent that is interested in the relationship of everyone involved and takes into account what’s best for all parties not just earning a commission.
LindaandCarlos will always have a relationship already formed with your Tenant which makes it so much easier to sell your Investment Property with a Tenant in place.
It makes sense that keeping a Tenant in place on a fixed-term lease ensures that the property is still income-producing and if your Agent knows the market well, then the rental return should look attractive to a Prospective Purchaser.
In my experience, most Agents will recommend that the Tenant be evicted and the property left vacant whilst on the market. This is poor advice as there is no income generated on the property whilst on the market for sale, and it will not look appealing to Prospective Investors.
Choose LJ Gilland Real Estate to sell your Tenanted property. If your property is managed by another Agent and you want to sell, transfer to LJ Gilland Real Estate and we will remove the hassle from sales and rentals aiming at the best result possible in any challenging real estate market, whilst making selling a sweet, smooth and nurturing experience for all involved.”

“Interesting experience
A totally different sales approach to what I was accustomed to, although I have not been in the home buying or selling for almost three decades.
New age so all advertising is done via internet media.
It was a team effort by both Linda & Carlos that got the sale through.
A family business that put in the effort for their clients.

Hi
Linda and Carlos,
I
like to take this opportunity to thank you both and your team for excellent
management service.
Since
moved our properties to your agent, we are really enjoying a trustable,
reliable and trouble-free property management. Especially when we have some
unknowns, Carlos always patiently explain to us, or step by step teach us
even let us use his own tools.
Because
of your outstanding service, we will keep our properties under your management
forever.
Thanks
again for your excellent properties management!

Very
recently we rented this Caboolture home without advertising, START <To
everyone at L J Gilland Real Estate and review readers,
Over
the past 3 years we have been 'customers' after referral from a work colleague.
As
a current customer, we can recommend the services of this real estate.
Why
we hear you say?
Well
- when they make a time to meet, they are there on time.
Communications
- both in person and via Emails are professional, courteous and respectful.
Legals
- staff are aware of the laws relating to rentals - for both owners and
tenants. This is very important with recent 'Covid 19' alterations to the laws.
Carlos
and his workshop on wheels can be relied upon to fix all those 'little things'
that make a difference (without overpriced charges) - which is truly
appreciated.
Value
- In comparison to other companies, you can't go wrong.
In
a nutshell, this is a team who 'know the ropes', who care for your property for
you, who present it and promote it in a professional way, who observe and
follow laws related to rental.
Thank
you for reading
Sincerely
Bob
and Carole
