AUCTION

An auction campaign is generally structured over a 4-6 week period and the aim is to build excitement, create competition and a sense of urgency amongst buyers. The advantages are:

  • The emotive nature of Auctions can often lead to bidders exceeding their pre-determined price limit to secure the property
  • A fixed date puts you in control of the time of sale
  • The promotion and advertising associated with an auction will bring your property to the attention of the greatest possible number of buyers
  • Your sale will be unconditional, on your preferred terms of settlement and with no cooling off period
  • You still have the option of negotiating a sale before the auction, as we encourage offers during the marketing campaign

CLOSING DATE SALE

Our closing date selling campaign is structured similar to a tender process with marketing over a 4-6 week period. At the end of the marketing campaign, we have a set date for offers to be submitted. The advantages are:

  • Your property is promoted in a positive manner with a price range rather than an asking price
  • By having a price range we do not have the restriction of an asking price that creates a price ceiling
  • Setting a date for offers to close, creates a deadline and encourages buyers to act decisively
  • Buyers are encouraged to negotiate immediately or they can register their interest and will be given the opportunity of submitting an offer before or on the closing date
  • You still have the option of negotiating a sale prior to the date that offers close as we encourage offers throughout the campaign
  • We will discuss the merits of each offer with you and you have the option to sell at any time

PRIVATE SALE

With a private sale, in consultation with yourself, we set a price range or asking price. We then conduct negotiations with interested parties on your behalf. The advantages are:

  • A price range or fixed price is set, where buyers in the pirce range will immediately be drawn and attracted by our marketing
  • You are not locked into a specific date of sale giving you time to consider the price, settlement terms and any special conditions offered
  • The confidential nature of this method enables privacy for vendors who would prefer to keep some or all of the specific details of the sale of their home, to themselves
  • All offers are passed on for your consideration

TWO STAGE STRATEGY

This approach involves an initial period of introducing qualified buyers to your property, with substantial cost savings.

  • Buyers are matched against our extensive database
  • The property is promoted comprehensively via the internet
  • Your home can be sold quietly to preserve your privacy if you wish
  • If after this initial phase of marketing an acceptable offer isn’t achieved you have the option of adopting a Private Sale, Auction or Closing Date Sale Campaign
