The auction method of sale provides sellers with the greatest opportunity to obtain ‘fair market value’ or a premium price for their property. An auction campaign also adds structure to the property listing and sale process and is regarded as the most effective way of marketing property for sale.

The auction process provides sellers with three opportunities to sell their property. You can accept an offer before auction, on the day itself, or you can choose to wait until afterwards. You are in complete control.

Should an auction listing not sell during the auction campaign, the chances to sell the property soon after are dramatically increased due to the greater amount of buyer enquiry that is generated through marketing for sale by auction.

In addition to the benefits of being an ‘exclusive agency’, auctions have many other advantages.

There are clear benefits to buying at auction:You know exactly who your competition is on the day

• All buyers are given fair opportunity to buy
• Negotiations are open for all to see, offering complete transparency
• You know you are dealing with sellers who want to sell on the day
• At the fall of the hammer, the auction is final and, if your bid is successful, the property is yours with no further negotiations, and the contract of sale is signed then and there

Auction increases your chances to encounter less competition for the property. If a buyer is in a position to purchase at auction, they may actually find that they have less competition than if they seek to purchase a priced property. This is because some buyers are not in a position to buy under the unconditional terms of an auction.

If a property passes in at auction, often, multiple buyers will make offers to buy but will elect to include a range of special conditions attached to their offer (Finance, Building and pest inspection clauses etc.). This places buyers into competition with each other, post-auction. this is referred to as a ‘multiple offer’ situation.

Auction-ready buyers often have the opportunity to secure a purchase at a desirable price, at auction, simply because an unconditional contract is the preference of the seller choosing to take the highest offer under auction terms and conditions, rather than consider conditional offers after auction.
