Episode #32 The Drive Home to the Hawkesbury with Rachael Goldsworthy – Routine Inspections

7 July, 2016 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy


Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening, depending on when you’re watching this video. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy on the drive home to Hawkesbury and today I wanted to talk to you about routine inspections. Now, routine inspections are done on a quarterly basis for my company. And we like to do that to ensure that the property is maintained, not only for the tenant, but equally for the landlord, so it’s fair for all parties.

You are entitled to do four inspections per year. Some agents will do longer inspections, like every six months or once a year. But we just find that every quarter, it just keeps everybody on the same page and it gives you a good result in the end for all parties.

Anyway, if you’ve got any questions in regards to routine inspections, leasing your property, renting a property, looking at buying a property, I’m always happy to chat. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy and I look forward to catching up with you on the next video.

Episode #24 The Drive Home to the Hawkesbury with Rachael Goldsworthy – Decluttering a rental property to sell

3 April, 2014 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy


Hi. My name’s Rachael Goldsworthy and I was just talking to one of my clients in regards to a property that they have, which is tenanted. This property is in Windsor and they were looking at putting it on the market. The tenant they currently have is a wonderful tenant, however they’ve got a lot of furniture, and it’s just not going to work from the perspective of utilising the space for the home. My suggestion to that vendor was to look at offering the tenant a little bit less in rent, charging them less in rent to declutter and possibly put some things away in storage for them. That just allows the space in the house to work. Otherwise, if you’ve got too much gear, too many things all over the shop, it’s just not a good look for a house, especially when you know it can look so much more larger than what it is.

That would be my advice to the client. Just offer the tenant less rent or offer the tenant services of an agent to go in there and help them set up their home in a particular way. That tenant may say, “No. I don’t want to do that, not interested.” That’s absolutely fine. It just means that you may not necessarily want to put the house on at that particular time. The tenant might also say, “That’s fantastic. I’ve been waiting, I just haven’t known when to start. There’s so much gear there and I’m really not sure what to do.” Could be a blessing in disguise for all parties.

Anyway, if you’ve got any other questions in regards to looking at your house and tenants and those sorts of things, don’t hesitate to contact me. We’ll catch up with you on the next video.

Episode #17 The Drive Home to the Hawkesbury with Rachael Goldsworthy – Rachael talks about attending an Open Home for a rental property

21 July, 2013 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy


Hi, my name’s Rachael Goldsworthy, and today I want to talk to you about open inspections for rental properties.

When you’re attending that as a potential tenant, what’s always best to do is make sure that you have all of your information ready to go. I’ve just come from one in McGraths Hill, we had about 25, to 30 people through the open home, so lots of interest, especially at the moment. It’s a fairly hot market with the rental markets, so it’s always advised that you get in and get your information in as soon as possible to give yourself the best chance.

The second thing I would recommend that you do with that is also have the documentation to back it up. If you don’t have the documentation ready to go, you like the home, the chances are somebody else will have that documentation ready to go, and it makes it very difficult for you to attain that property that you want to attain unless you have everything there, as I say.

Number one: turn up to the inspection, number two: make sure you’ve got your 100 point check ready to go, and number three: fill in your application as soon as you possibly can, so that you can get the best possible chance to attain that rental property that you’re after.

All right. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy, and I’ll catch up with you next time.

Episode #14 The Drive Home to the Hawkesbury with Rachael Goldsworthy – The rental process with Rachael Goldsworthy Realty

21 July, 2013 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy


Hi people. My name’s Rachael Goldsworthy and I’m just going to talk to you about inspections. I’m heading off to McGraths Hill. I’ve got an open home there today. It’s for an inspection for tenants only. That’s for people that are looking to rent a home as opposed to buy a home. Usually you’ll get quite a number of people there given it’s quite a hot market in the rental market at the moment. There’s a lot of tenants out there and probably not as many homes for the tenants that are looking for homes.

With those inspections, they’re advertised on our website. Then the people turn up and have a look through the home, see what it’s that they’re after, and then after that then they take what they call a rental application for. That renal application form is then processed within our office and we nominate the three top most suitable tenants for the property. We put that forward to the owner. The owner then makes a decision based on that.

It’s really important that you go to these inspections. Look at as many homes as you possibly can do because if you don’t, just let that gentleman in. He’s trying to get in and there’s a lot of traffic here heading through Windsor. If you don’t get out to see as many homes as you possibly can, sometimes there’s better options available for you. You look at everything within the home. Remember whether there’s built in wardrobes. Remember whether there’s air conditioning. Fly screen are another important one because as a home is rented or once a home is rented or leased to a potential tenant, as is. Then if the landlord does not want to put those services in as additional services to you, you are stuck with in that timeframe of the lease.

What I recommend, just make sure you check all of the things that are really important to you, what you won’t compromise on as a tenant, and go from there. All right. If you need any further help in regards to renting your homes or looking at renting a home, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
