SHOULD I SELL PRIVATELY OR
AT AUCTION?

This depends on the level of comfort you have with the method,
the trust you have in your agent and the desirability of the home.

WHAT IS AN AUCTION?

An auction is a public sale in which a property is sold ADVANTAGES:
to the highest bidder. The auction process has been
around for hundreds of years and, if handled correctly, • Unconditional offer*
can be one of the most successful ways to market and • Qualified buyers only
sell your property. • Shorter campaign

*If sold three days prior, on the day, or three days after
the publicly advertised auction date.

OUR THOUGHTS

The auction is designed to drive competition and
achieve a premium price by encouraging as many
buyers as possible to bid on your property on auction
day. In many cases, selling at auction can be the most
effective method.

Do your research and you will discover that most
record property sale prices achieved in your suburb
are reached through auction. The other important
factor to consider is it allows anyone to be a buyer for
your home up until the

auction starts. Many houses have been sold over the
last year to buyers who turned up on auction day
without viewing the property prior.

However, if you have a unique property or one with
specific features that may appeal to only one or two
buyers the best method for your property may be a
SALE BY FIXED DATE.

WHAT IS A SALE BY FIXED DATE?

A sale by fixed date combines the competition of an ADVANTAGES:
auction, with the privacy of a “for sale” campaign. This
type of campaign is run over a four-week period with a • Timeline driven
fixed sale date but can be sold at any time prior. • Increased competition
• Privacy - no public auction
