Steps to a successful sale.

Our Process

  • 1. Research

    If you’re considering selling, the first step is researching your local property market. We have access to a wealth of data, including the latest sales in Grey Lynn and the surrounding areas. We also encourage you to visit open homes yourself to see what type of properties are being listed and for what price.

  • 2. Appraisal

    One of your first questions will be, "how much can I sell my property for?". We can provide that appraisal by reviewing different factors, such as local market data and similar recent sales. From there, we'll complete the picture by looking at the specific features of your home - for example, the number of bedrooms/bathrooms, section size, zoning, renovations and so on.

  • 3. Sales Method

    Selling by auction is the most popular method of sale in Auckland, but that doesn’t mean it will work for you. We’ll look at all the options - Auction, Set Price, Tender, Negotiation - and we’ll assess their merit against your individual property and personal expectations.

  • 4. Property Preparation

    A high-quality presentation can help maximise your sale price. While each property requires a different amount of effort to reach open home standards - we can help you put your best foot forward, providing advice on where your budget is best spent.

  • 5. Engage a Lawyer

    We'll do the leg work to identify and mitigate risk and we'll also draft clauses where appropriate to make sure you're covered. When everything is ready for checking, we'll liaise with your solicitor to make sure you're legally protected during your property sale.

  • 6. Marketing Campaign

    With preparation complete, it’s time to launch your property into the market. Every campaign we run is tailored to your specific property and a clearly defined audience. It can be an exciting/emotional time, but rest assured, we’ll have your back each step of the way.

  • 7. Offers / Auction

    Depending on which sales method you choose, you will have a range of offers or a set auction date. If you have offers, we can help you assess the best option, considering factors such as price, conditions and settlement dates. With an auction, our job is to get as many qualified buyers to bid on that day.

  • 8. Contract Signed

    All going to plan, we will have a sales contract signed and an initial deposit paid. But our job doesn’t end there. We’ll follow up lawyers to make sure contractual obligations are completed accordingly. And we’ll ensure final property inspections are passed.

  • 9. Settlement

    Well done! You've successfully made it to the final part of your property sale journey. At settlement, your sale funds will be transferred into a nominated bank account. We will be there to make sure this transaction is completed as per instruction.

  • 10. Celebrate

    Crack open a bottle of champagne! It’s time to toast the successful sale of your property.
