Episode #16 The Drive Home to the Hawkesbury with Rachael Goldsworthy – Rachael talks about what to look for at an Open Home

21 July, 2013 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy


Hi, my names Rachael Goldsworthy. We’re just heading off to an open inspection at Riverstone this morning. It’s a new listing. We’ve had about 45 inquiries during the week and we’re expecting 19 people this morning. It’s going to be good open inspection.

What I’ll probably recommend for buyers when they’re looking at getting into a home or going to an open inspection, might sound a bit dorky but take a clipboard. You can write down a list of things that you’re looking in for in a home. Maybe the top ten things. You’re probably not going to get all of them in any home, so you’ll probably get eight to ten things out of a home but the other two things you can always add to later on once you’re in there. Things like land size might be important to you, whether it’s brick veneer, double brick or weather board. Whether you have terracotta roof tiles, whether you have an iron roof. It’s all dependent on what you want to do.

Just make sure that you’re clear of what you want to achieve from the open home, and make sure you have a look at everything you possibly can at the home because it always just gives you a better snapshot. When you walk away you’ve got some notes, and you can go back to them because you might be looking at say, three homes, in one particular day. There’s no way that you can remember all of those things at any one time. That would be my advice to you.

Good luck with your opens, I hope they go well as I’m sure this one will today. I’ll catch up with you in the next video.

Westfields to develop Windsor – Frank Lowy Pushing the Limits

1 April, 2013 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy

Rachael Goldsworthy has successfully sold the north end of George Street Commercial Precinct to an until now undisclosed buyer for AUD $45 million.

Frank Lowy, Chairman of Westfields, recently inspected the site, many believe looking to add to the Westfield portfolio.

“We always liked the Rouse Hill development and are looking to complete something similar in Windsor and increase the size of the bridge as part of the overall project.  The benefits for residents of Windsor and surrounding suburbs will be exceptional.” said Frank Lowry via phone this morning.

Others believe Ellen and Portia may have been unsuccessful in their attempt to purchase.  However, after their recent visit to Australia, they had to return to The States saying that after being spotted in George St, all the attention had pushed the ratings up and Ellen had to start filming her new show asap.

I’m sure all local people will be delighted by our potential new development site.

Enjoy your first day of April!

Rachael 🙂

Things to do in the Hawkesbury #54 Jacaranda Trees in Windsor

7 November, 2012 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy

Jacaranda Trees in Blossom outside the Doctor's House, Windsor

Late October, early November, is one of my favourite times to take a walk along the streets of Windsor.  Not only are the Jacaranda trees in full blossom the streets are laden with a carpet of purple.

Take the time over the next few days to wander the streets of Windsor as it is a once in a year opportunity and not to be missed.

Let me know your best vantage point for viewing and where your favourite trees grow.

Rachael 🙂

Great day to take a bushwalk by the Colo River. There are some terrific places to explore, rock caves to discover, flora and fauna to have fun identifying.

Why not take some time out this weekend to enjoy what we have in our own backyard, discover what this part of the Hawkesbury has to offer.

If you take your camera send me your favourite photo.

Have fun exploring.

You are most welcome to take a self guided tour as the Church is open each day for visitors. Once you are there further information is available on a pamphlet offered on the porch.

They recommend your tour include a visit to the Schoolmaster’s House which contains photographs and memorabilia on the church’s interesting history.

Beautiful weather lately and lovely to take a drive in the country.

Enjoy the time you spend there.

Rachael 🙂
