Max is Armidale’s own statesman of Real Estate. After 19 years in the building industry, Max started his career in Real Estate in 1971. He firmly believes his hands on experience in building gave him a good foundation to be successful in property sales. “Buying a home is the biggest investment in a person’s life, if you can say yes this is a problem but this is how you can fix it – it is a great help to them. You come up with solutions all the time in this business.”
Valuation is one of the most important aspects in successfully selling a property, and Max is an expert. “With this many years in the business I get a lot of satisfaction in getting the valuation right. Some agents give high opinions of values, I give a value I believe is correct. Especially in a slowing market like today it is terribly important to price the property correctly. I have been in the industry long enough to get it right most of the time.”
Uphill & Schaefer have long been known as the Auction specialists. “I still love the auction floor. We really understand the auction process; we understand the benefits to both buyer and vendor. They don’t always sell on the day but it is still a successful process and a good way to meet the market. We believe in the auction system – we know it works.”
Max shows no sign of retiring. “These days I enjoy watching all the others do the work! No, really, I still go out and get listings, do valuations and Auctions of course. And I enjoy helping the TEAM!” I’d like to think we will be here for many more years. I have grandchildren now that are in their twenties and I encourage them to do their own thing, I also encourage them to have a go here if that is what they would like to do. It would be nice to have family members here in the future. I just want to have people in a place who enjoy being a part of a team, a family – we really look after each other here.”
“I would just like to go out of Real Estate knowing I have never made an enemy, just a lot of friends. I don’t plan to retire just yet, perhaps play a bit more tennis and golf but not retire – I enjoy it to much!”
“They say the first twenty years you get educated. The next twenty years you get experience. By the time you get to sixty you are supposed to be wise! You get a lot of wisdom along the way and if I can pass that onto others I might save them a few mistakes and they might avoid some of the problems I experienced.”
Max has great confidence in the future of Armidale. “I think Armidale is a really strong area. We have everything except industry; we have factories – factories for education! It is great for kids; you can educate them right from kindy to university or a trade right here. Now we have to focus on keeping them, provide jobs. The new developments will help with that. Some industry here would be a good thing, help the retention rate of our young people.”
“Armidale is a great place for families and retirees. The climate is good and the Real Estate is reasonable. People from Sydney used to retire to the coast or the mountains but now the prices in these areas are beyond the average retiree so they are starting to look inland.”
“Armidale is on the crest of a wave – I think it is just getting started.”Valuation is one of the most important aspects in successfully selling a property, and Max is an expert. �With this many years in the business I get a lot of satisfaction in getting the valuation right.
