Selling With Us

A successful sale starts with an accurate and informed market appraisal. While the true value is essentially determined by what the market’s prepared to pay, we’re here to make sure your property realises its full potential by finding the buyer who’s willing to pay the maximum price. Our strong market position gives your property its best possible chance in the market.

Extensive database

Along with our high-impact advertising and comprehensive website, we have an extensive, current database of prospective buyers to whom we have immediate access via SMS and email alerts. As soon as your property is listed, suitable buyers will know about it!

Auctioning your property

One of the most preferred and successful sales methods for our clients, the auction process encourages competitive bidding from committed buyers who are compelled to act quickly. We help you nominate the terms, conditions, duration of the campaign, auction date and a minimum (undisclosed) reserve price that you’re comfortable with.

Sale by tender

Much like an auction yet with a closing date nominated for offers, a sale by tender creates a competitive environment without having to list an asking price. You set the terms, conditions and deadline, remaining in complete control. Prospective buyers have only one opportunity to put forward their most competitive bid, which you may negotiate. All tender details remain confidential.  

Sale by negotiation

Sale by negotiation, where the price isn’t set yet negotiated instead, can both maximise buyer interest and ensure a high sale price. It’s a great way to gain feedback from the market before settling on a price you are happy with, helping to eliminate the risk of under or overpricing your home.

Commissioning an agent

Our appointment to sell your home is both an honour and a matter of trust. We give you our full support and guarantee to listen to your wishes. Your agent will involve you in all sales and marketing decisions and keep you informed every step of the way – sharing information is crucial to achieving a successful sale.

Keeping you informed:
Activity report on progress of sale
Planned marketing and advertising measures
Report on every viewing inspection

Perfect presentation

The importance of presenting your property in its best light can’t be emphasised enough. We can advise on a number of simple and inexpensive things you can do to make sure your home looks its finest. We want buyers feel that your home could be their new home.
