This week at MBPS Main Beach Property Services
Goodwill is like a mirror it reflects back – Joulyn Kenny
How much ‘goodwill’ is there in today’s society? Does that sound like an ‘older’ person speaking? It is – it is my thought for the week...
I have these random thoughts at times – as many of you who read our Newsletters will know... This week ‘goodwill’ has been on my mind – not only in the sense of “goodwill” in business, however, in general. Is goodwill even spoken of, or understood in today’s society... I never hear the word used, other than perhaps as a value added to a ‘business transaction’, i.e. an intangible asset in the sale of a business. However, when we ‘grew up’ goodwill was part of the ‘fabric’ of living, it was genuinely caring, kindness, generosity, lending a helping hand when the opportunity arose...
My friend “Google” describes goodwill as – “Goodwill is an intangible asset. But for many corporations, it is by far their most valuable asset. Integrity is the father of goodwill. Reputation is it's mother.”
The philosophy of goodwill, again according to my friend ‘Google – “Goodwill refers to the moral motivation or intention to do what is right, regardless of the consequences…”
So, then I asked - “is it sufficient to be kind and not have goodwill?” - “No, it is not sufficient to simply be kind without also having goodwill. While kindness is a positive trait, goodwill is a deeper attitude that encompasses a genuine desire for the well-being of others and a willingness to act in their best interests. Kindness can be a superficial act, while goodwill implies a more profound and consistent positive regard.”
As I wrote this, I answered my own question – yes, goodwill still exists and is possibly one of the hidden attractions of this small Village of ours - ‘Main Beach’, where whilst the word is not spoken ‘goodwill’ has been prevalent... How lucky are we!
We are fortunate to have the opportunity to present 2 New Listings to our clients this week, both of which are being offered pre going out to the broader market. I have not spoken of ‘diversity’ for a little while, so perhaps I am permitted to say – they are very diverse...
Featured below is a very well maintained 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment, with 2 side by side car spaces in one of our sought after ‘walk-up’ complexes, ‘Main Beach Views’. Apartment 14 is a rare find at $1,125,000. The apartment has served a ‘good purpose’ for the current owners, however, it is now superfluous to their needs, or at least will be by mid-October. We are therefore looking for a ‘longish’ settlement, so, perhaps ‘opportune’ for some... A perfect entry level home into Main Beach; part-time home for the families of our TSS and St Hilda's ‘boarders’; or for one of your young adult children, who may be at university here and require ‘a home away from home’...
Our other New Listing is a ‘Sky Home’ in ‘Rivage Royale’, just over the bridge in the Sundale precinct of Southport – a 10 -15 minute walk from Main Beach. ‘Rivage Royale' is the most highly regarded luxury, absolute riverfront residential tower in Southport. It offers 24-hour security and is situated on 3.5 acres of landscaped gardens, with resort facilities that are often only found in holiday apartments. It offers a sophisticated lifestyle, with its own deep water marina berth.
The Sky Home, A15-2 'Rivage Royale', offers pure luxury, privacy and your own “forever views”... Step into a rare offering of prestige and serenity. The Apartment commanding 260m² is spread across two levels and comprises 2 Living areas, 2 spacious bedrooms and includes 1 secure car space and storage. You will be ‘stunned’ as you enter the luxury with a backdrop of uninterrupted views stretching across the Broadwater, Main Beach and Surfers Paradise skyline, and beyond to the hinterland, framed perfectly through floor-to-ceiling glass and over 18 metres of wide balcony frontage.
We also have the opportunity to re-list one of our suspended listings – Apartment 21 Carrington Court, which has now, once again ‘served its purpose’ for the Owners and it is timely for them to ‘sell’. The apartment is a renovated, very well presented two bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1 secure car space situated in a boutique complex directly across the road from the beach. This is again an opportunity to secure a ‘home’ or ‘lifestyle’ in Main Beach at only $1,045,000, with the waves almost at your doorstep... Please call Michelle to arrange an inspection at any time or visit her on Saturday between 10:30am and 11:00am.
Also, Open to View this week is the Villa at 1/42 Peak Avenue – between 11:30am and 12:00pm on Saturday. Alternatively, once again, please call to arrange a private inspection at any time. This home is just waiting for the right family or a couple who would like the ‘space’ for those ‘Family get togethers’...
We have had 3 Settlements this week – Apartment 141 Contessa, after a very long settlement period; Apartment 806 Maldives and Apartment 17 Sainte Maxime – a record sale for the complex... We would like to thank and congratulate the Sellers, once again! Also, welcome and congratulate the Buyers on their new Main Beach homes! This has been a MBPS Team effort, as usual, so congratulations also to Carmen, Michelle and I on bringing the parties together...
Please see our ‘few’ Properties to Lease below.
Clearly there is more ‘stock’ required both in Sales and Leasing, so, please feel free to call to obtain an obligation free Appraisal.
Thank you, once again, for reading!
Have a great weekend!
Very best wishes,
