Methods of sale

Avram can discuss with you the best method of sale for your property and your time frame. Much depends on the current market, the type of property; whether it is very unique or likely to be much sort after and the location. Avram will be able to tell you about recent sales with similar properties and explain what worked well.

Tender

  • A tender process is likely to:
    • Encourage conditional and unconditional buyers to consider buying your property
    • Provide opportunity to maximise the sale price, as your price is unknown
    • Create a sense of urgency among buyers as the tender closing date nears
    • Allow you to negotiate with a potential buyer after the tender has closed
    • Allow you privacy, as you do not have to disclose the price level of tenders
    • Allow you to retain complete control over offers
    • Reduce any time pressure, because tenders usually remain open for a number of days for you to consider offers
  • However it may also:
    • Allow bidders to remain in a closed non-competitive bidding situation
    • Allow for conditions to be attached to the purchase
    • Deter those buyers looking for an indication of price
    • Stop a buyer from purchasing your property prior to tender close date if they want to.

Auction

    • Attract genuine, motivated buyers
    • Establish current market value
    • Provide an opportunity for you to receive the maximum sale price
    • Allow you to dictate the terms of sale
    • Allow you to secure a cash sale that is completely unconditional
    • Foster competition between buyers that may push the price up
    • Eliminate perceived negatives and objections to an asking price
    • Create a sense of urgency among prospective buyers before the auction day

    • Prevent buyers from attacking your selling price
