QUICK GUIDE TO SELLING METHODS
Here are three recommended methods for selling your property:

Auctions
Some of the benefits of selling your property by auction include:
-
Vendors have total control over the sale process.
-
Auctions attract more buyers to your property because prospective buyers aren’t put off that there is no asking price.
-
The auction date creates a sense of urgency that prevents buyers delaying their decision and lets them know you are serious about selling.
-
You are protected by a reserve price. This means your property won’t sell unless bidding reaches a pre-agreed level.
-
There is no ceiling price so you have the opportunity to achieve a price above your expectations.
-
Auctions produce an unconditional contract for sale with a set settlement date.

Private Treaty
Some of the benefits of selling your property by private treaty include:
-
A fixed price makes it easy for buyers — they don't need to ‘guess’ your desired sale price.
-
The price can be adjusted throughout the marketing stage, based on qualified buyer feedback and local market conditions.
-
This method of sale is a tried and tested style of marketing.
-
It assists buyers to formulate offers that address your desired selling price, which leads to a faster negotiation process.

Tender - selling to the highest bidder
Some of the benefits of selling your property by tender include:
-
This method of sale shows you are confident about your property and a successful sale.
-
Tenders offer the intensity of an auction but without the potential stress of an auction day.
-
Tender enables you to keep the price you may accept for your property discreet and lets the market dictate the price buyers are prepared to pay.
-
A tender has a closing date to create a sense of urgency in the buying process.
-
This method of sale generates competition for your property.
