His first sale was in Noosa, arguably the premier beach resort conclave where surfers from around the world come to enjoy the magnificent breaks alongside the national park.
Richard will take us back in time and then introduce Dan Sowden of Ray White in keeping with Richard’s plan to move around Australia and New Zealand’s Ray White principals. Why Ray White Real Estate? Richard has bought many projects via their services and will be introducing investors from around the world to Australasian development opportunities and has decided that the Ray White group is his preferred agency.

At the various gala dinners and events, Dan can be seen onstage as an MC or calling the bidding – raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for local charity groups.
And lastly this week Richard Butler, a Trade Commissioner to Queensland for Vanuatu, has set time aside in a segment of the show to discuss and provide his views with inside information on the latest wave of investment into the South Pacific.
Richard reports the unbelievable news that Chinese President Xi Jinping has confirmed China is ready to assist Vanuatu in particular with upgrading the originally American-built WW2 Bauerfield Airfield in booming Port Vila, the capital of the Republic of Vanuatu. Prime Minister Natuman has reported in the local press that China is ready to financially help, along with other development partners such as the World Bank.

08/06/2014 Show Topic: Is the property boom in Australia over? That’s the question this week.

Richard forecasts a city of almost 5 million people could all be millionaires within 5 years. Learn which city he is talking about……

Richard Butler and Brian Thomas discuss in depth the state of the real estate market in the booming south pacific country’s states and cities and how it will effect an increase of investment into one of the smallest countries in the world: Vanuatu

One of the things that happens when the property market is booming, like it is now, is that people start building more houses.

The logic is easy enough to understand. Houses cost more, so building and selling houses delivers a better return. Builders and developers have an added incentive to bring new supply to the market.

The other thing that happens is that banks start loosening their lines of credit to builders and developers. Now that the boom is well and truly underway, and every analyst and their shih tzu is locking in rising prices as far as the eye can see, property becomes a much safer bet.
