round service.”<br />
Kylie has been in real estate<br />
for five years and Buddy<br />
has a strong background in<br />
the building industry and has<br />
marketing and public relations<br />
qualifications.<br />
Buddy says Hamilton has<br />
a very established real estate<br />
scene but using Mike Pero<br />
Real Estate offers a fresh<br />
approach and saves vendors<br />
money.<br />
Mike Pero Real Estate’s<br />
commission is just 2.95 percent<br />
for the first $390,000 as<br />
opposed to the to the industry<br />
average of four percent.<br />
“You are winning from<br />
the outset when you list<br />
with Mike Pero Real Estate.<br />
We will save a seller several<br />
thousand dollars based on<br />
the median house price in the<br />
city.”<br />
Secondly, Mike Pero Real<br />
Estate offers vendors marketing<br />
avenues other real estate<br />
agencies don’t have.<br />
“We have an agreement<br />
with TV3 which ensures that<br />
Mike Pero Hamilton brand and territory<br />
owners Buddy Annals and Kylie Hooker.<br />
every property will have an<br />
11 second TV advertisement.<br />
Advertisements run at the<br />
peak viewing times of 6.50am<br />
or 5.50pm every weekday.”<br />
Buddy says he and Kylie<br />
were attracted to the take up<br />
the franchise by the value<br />
New Zealanders attach to the<br />
Mike Pero brand.<br />
“We just think the Mike<br />
Pero name is almost synonymous<br />
with New Zealanders.<br />
You feel like you know the<br />
guy and there is a positive response<br />
to his name.”<br />
As part of this, Mike Pero<br />
Real Estate is proud to sponsor<br />
an Entrepreneur Of The<br />
Year award among Year 13<br />
students at all of Hamilton’s<br />
