This is enhanced for both vendors and purchasers with dedicated company support, a strong in-house marketing department and experienced auctioneers with high levels of public negotiation, making this process highly rewarding for buyers and sellers.
Locations Southland promotes sale by auction because
- It provides the vendor with a set plan of selling action
- A sense of urgency is created among purchasers by setting the auction date
- The vendor gains the satisfaction of an open market test
- The vendor sets the conditions not the buyer
- The property is offered subject to the vendor’s reserve price
- The vendor is able to consider offers before the auction
The Locations Southland auction programme includes an intensive advertising campaign for a set period before the auction date, and a concentrated sales effort before auction including Open House days.
Your Locations salesperson will deliver constant activity reports analysing buyer interest, comments and suggestions, and will be committed to achieving a successful result.
Whatever the ultimate price, it will be a reflection of the amount of interest shown in your property, which in turn will reflect the success of the marketing campaign and your selling agent’s ability to introduce the property to buyers.
Our database of purchasers enables us to immediately access buyers currently recorded with us. We would also run a campaign letting everyone know your property is for sale.
An auction should not be perceived as a ‘last resort’, but an opportunity to market a selected property.
Competition between purchasers on the day can increase the final sale price.
