The best method of sale depends on the property, likely buyer audience, market conditions and the seller’s priorities. Ray White Kaikohe explains the available options before a campaign begins so owners can make an informed decision.
An auction uses a defined campaign and public competition between registered bidders. Buyers usually bid on an unconditional basis, and the seller sets a reserve before the auction. The method can create urgency and transparent competition.
Buyers are invited to submit offers by a specified date, unless the property sells earlier where permitted. This gives the seller an opportunity to compare price, conditions and settlement terms after a focused marketing period.
A tender also uses a closing date and a formal offer process. The tender documents set the rules, and offers remain confidential. Buyers should obtain legal advice before submitting a tender.
The property is marketed with or without an advertised price and buyers can submit offers during the campaign. This can provide flexibility, but the pricing and enquiry strategy still needs to be reviewed carefully.
Consider the strength of buyer demand, how easy the property is to compare, the need for conditions, the desired timeframe and how competing buyers will be managed. Your salesperson will recommend an approach, but the final decision is yours.
