Talking Real Estate with Steve Slicker Sunday, 9.30am-1pm Hi folks, CRAFT MARKET It takes a certain expertise to write a good property advertisement, but as a home owner, you know your house better than anyone else. So give some thought to the benefits of living in your particular corner of the Sunday, 4pm world. Some of the attributes that could help sell your home might actually surprise even you. So what’s the forecast from this point? Well after a weekend with 7 offers on 4 properties and my phone ringing red hot I’m only forecasting good things! Finally a great number of people are out of negative equity and while the timing of the rise is price was expected as cycles tend to be 8-10 years, the way we arrived at this market certainly came as a surprise. Your agents might be able to write a better ad than you, the home owner, but they can’t write an ad that SUMMER IS COMING – speaks to the hearts of potential buyers without the benefit of your intimate connection with the property. What sort of things might the agent want to know? TIME TO BE VEIN Not that we have many of these in Upper Hutt but if you are in an apartment in Wellington you might mention NEW spider vein treatments the bus at the door that has lots of great cafe stops on its route, or that you feel safe to let your teenagers catch it at night because they don’t have to walk home in a dark street. You might even mention how much Affordable and fast recovery you enjoy the fact that there is a rubbish chute that saves you going to the ground floor with your rubbish. If you are in Trentham it might be a back gate leading to a track to where your kids Non invasive and minimal pain can play without having to walk there by the road, or the number of bird attracting plants in your garden. Two vein specialists These are things your agent might not know, so make sure you jot down these benefits as they occur to you and let the agent use it as a basis for writing the best ad. Don’t expect the agent to use all the material Free Nurse Assessments you give them, let them be the judge of which benefits will best appeal to local buyers, and when too much information is counter-productive. The important thing is that the personality of your house shines through in the detail that is revealed, not that no detail is left out Call 0800 83 46 43 If you want to know more about our local market or thinking of selling your home please call me on the to make an appointment numbers below or contact me via email [email protected] alternately fill in your details on my website www.steveslicker.com Wellington - Lower Hutt - Kapiti Kind regards, Steve Slicker Palmerston North - Nelson (04) 212 6787, 0275 661 949 [email protected] www.svh.co.nz Go to www.facebook.com/steveslicker to be kept up to date on the specialistveinhealth 2vascularsurgeons latest real estate news and listings

Kristy Couper had been hoping some of her dad’s luck would rub off on her and it did. The Lower Hutt resident was the fifth and last person to see if her key would successfully open the car being given away by the Upper Hutt Leader. ‘‘My dad has always been lucky with this kind of thing and so is my grandad so I was hoping it would rub off on me,’’ she said. She had brought her dad, Dennis Couper, along to Trentham Race course on December 3 where the Yaris was given away, after entering the draw after shopping at Michael Hill Jewellers in Upper Hutt. Wellington Communities sales manager Grant Davidson said there had been a great response to the Great Toyota Giveaway. ‘‘Once again it was a fantastic promotion with 25,000 entries and 60 local businesses participating,’’ he said. ‘‘This year was really special in the sense we had a huge number of smaller locally owned and operated businesses involved. ‘‘They really got behind the promotion and made it work for their businesses. Special thanks to Richard Devery and the team at King Toyota for their continued support, their contribution is invaluable.’’ Davidson said the Wellington Racing Club Christmas at the Races was the perfect venue for the Grand Finale and they went out of their way to ensure everything went smoothly and we had a great time on the day.’’ ❚ Race day photos page 16.

This sequel, arriving like a grubby gift no wanted some 13 years later, repeats the same schtick all over again, but ups the ante in political incorrectness to a degree that’s frighteningly dull. Bad Santa 2 can’t help but feel exhausted, coming after a whole generation of Bad Teachers, Bad Moms, Dirty Grandpas, and other garden-variety Todd Phillips/ Judd Apatow gross-out joints.

She went to Parliament to hear the third and final reading of the Compensation for Live Organs Donor Bill, which passed unani- mously on November 30. Under the new law, donors will receive 100 per cent of their income for up to 12 weeks as compensation. ‘‘It’s all happening,’’ she said. ’’I didn’t have a dream of what I started.’’ About two and a half years ago, van der Gulik was on dialysis and waiting for a kidney transplant.

ABBY BROWN

Gaylon Hindley’s early life in South Africa reads like lyrics from a rap song so it is not surprising he has secured a spot in the finals of a rapping competition. The Capetown-born Upper Hutt resident will perform in The Def Jam New Zealand Showcase on December 10. ‘‘I saw drug deals go wrong as I walked to school, I saw someone get stabbed and I had to duck and dive bullets,’’ he said. ‘‘I didn’t realise it wasn’t normal until I had been in New Zealand for a couple of months and saw how calm it was.’’ If his tales impress the judge, talent scout Mike Neely from the DefJam label, he could become a rapping superstar like his favourite hip hop artist, Lil Wayne. American talent scouts normally don’t leave the United States for showcases. ‘‘People normally have to pay $1500 to get a meeting with someone like him,’’ Hindley said. Whoever beats the 23 other competitors, eight of whom are from Wellington, will get to meet with him and will receive $250 worth of Ill Magik clothing. The 27-year-old impressed with his energy at the semi-final. “LIFE’S SO The Ministry of Social Development employee balances two hours of practicing his rapping, recording an album and his own promotion com- RELAXED NOW” pany which has six artists involved. ‘‘My stage name is DoubleG mAkeAbangA and my son argues with me that that is his name.’’ Hindley livestreams his performances to his five-year-old as he often played at non-child- friendly times.
