Office owner Tony Jenkins says his teams wrote an average four property sale contracts per day, totalling 129 by the end of the month worth $23.3 million, or just over $800,000 a day."We are continuing to see a lot of rental property investors, with a growing number from Melbourne and Sydney in particular, viewing property on our website and in some cases buying 'sight unseen'."
