I tend not to put too much weight on other people's opinions when it comes to the things I buy although that doesn't mean I don't take them into consideration; the thing is that their opinion in theirs and often based around their experiences, needs and understandings/expectations rather then my own. Having said that, my brother and I are on the same page and, because of the profession I was once in for many years, he is happy to take my opinions into consideration.
My brother made an offer on another house today and it's a cracker, one I like a lot; it's on 22,000sqm and has established vegetable gardens, chicken coops, heaps of garaging/workshop areas, a swimming pond (natural), outside sauna, spa bath and shower, BBQ areas plus all the stuff you'd expect inside the actual house. It's all surrounded by Australian rain forest yet has nice (useable) open areas as well. I hope he's successful with the offer.
Good luck to your brother today 🤞
I hope the seller will accept the offer.
And then the adventure begins, moving and furnishing.
