This week at MBPS
Stop and smell the Roses…
“Slow down, stop and smell the roses” a friend said this week … I said, I have planted a garden of roses in Tedder Avenue!
Researching for an appropriate saying this week, led me to “adrenaline” – a very interesting subject and in keeping with ‘stop and smell the roses’, I believe - an “adrenaline rush” can feel like “pure excitement” and can be related to ‘love’, so surely that includes doing what you ‘love to do’, so theoretically, I stop and smell the roses all day every day…
I am certainly not being critical of someone making the comment when they see that time is short and we all know life is too, so I agree we should all ‘stop and smell the roses’. However, as my dear Father would say, “hard work never killed anyone” – Thanks Dad! According to my friend ‘Google’, the meaning behind “stop and smell the roses” is “consciously directing your mind to be aware and attentive to the present moment to be able to experience and enjoy more of the world surrounding you.” And, as Mac Davis wisely said in his song “You got to Stop and Smell the roses. You've got to count your many blessings everyday.” Is that not what we do every day!
I have not attributed the saying to anyone as I could not establish its original author. Another bit of trivia for you – again according to ‘Google’, “the quote, "Stop and smell the roses," is often attributed to golfer Walter Hagen in the 1956 book "The Walter Hagen Story" but he didn't mention roses. The quote: "You're only here for a short visit. Don't hurry. Don't worry.” Also appropriate, given our busy lifestyle…
Speaking of busy, thus the Fortnightly Newsletter, once again…
We have 3 New Listings – They are not quite ready to ‘go to market’, however, we do have exclusive authorities to present the properties to our clients only at this stage.
Two are located in the sought after complex ‘The Inlet’ Main Beach –
Apartment 5A - “A desirable 'A' style apartment, poised on level 5 with ideal northeast aspect, boasting 210m2, natural light in abundance and exceptional ocean-born cross breezes.” The apartment with is warm welcoming feel when you walk in the door, is ideal for those liking the ‘lower’ floor, garden aspect.
Apartment 18B – “Exceptional in Design, Space and Prestige” - situated on level 18, offering splendid ocean views, natural light, and a lovely view of McIntosh Island and the Surfers twinkling lights. A spacious 205m2 with 3 bed, 2 bath plus powder room and 2 car spaces. A must to inspect, truly one of a kind! So, please contact Carmen or myself for further information or to arrange an inspection at any time.
The third is a large courtyard apartment in a quiet secure complex, which is only a stroll from the charming village lifestyle of Chevron Island and within walking distance to the cafes, bars, restaurants, nightlife and beaches of Surfers Paradise. The apartment, which has 2 significant courtyards has been totally and tastefully renovated and would be an ideal ‘first home’ or an investment. It is currently achieving $390 per week rent with an excellent tenant in place. It is listed for sale at $355,000. Please call for further details or to arrange an inspection.
Apartment 12 Pacific Views is considered SOLD, as it is under an unconditional Contract, which will settle at the end of this month… Congratulations to the happy Sellers and Buyers and to Claire and myself, who brought the parties together!
Another of our unmentionable Contracts, Apartment 38 Kings Row South, is now unconditional, so also considered SOLD. Again, we would like to congratulate the happy Seller and Buyer, together with Claire, who negotiated the Contract!
We have had two settlements this week, with 1/57 Cronin Avenue and Apartment 3 Calais both being handed over to their new owners. Congratulations to the very happy Sellers and Buyers! Also, to Mary, Carmen and myself, who brought the parties together!
Featured below is the 1st floor, centre apartment in Xanadu East, mentioned in our last Newsletter. We have a window of opportunity to view this weekend, so please call to arrange an inspection.
We have also re-featured Apartment 2201 Liberty Panorama this week, as we have now established a ‘list price’ of $1,200,000.
In Property Management – we have excellent applications on all of our vacant properties, so we are “out of stock” for now and the demand continues!
