THE SPRUIKERS ARE BACK!
Seven out of nine sold at yesterday's auctions but there's a murky crowd hanging around in the background.
A regular attendee at our auctions - someone staff are not allowed to deal with because of past practice and from whom we will not accept a bid - is even promoting himself as Auckland's apartment expert and running seminars on how to steal apartments!
Haven't we had enough?
First City, Investor Forum, Richmastery, McEwan Group, Merlot, yes...I hate to write it...Blue Chip...and now the corrals have emptied again and they’re back in town under a new guise.
We have even had to include a warning on our Listing forms alerting clients to the fact that there are "buyers" out there who will try to "buy" conditionally with the intention of onselling to some unsuspecting victim (many of them in Australia) for a quick profit.
Emerging from the recession, dealing with the victims of the debacle of the last 6 years (see above) we are absolutely amazed that there are still people out there who would attend a spruiking seminar.
Why not just call us and deal at the coalface yourself.
No, we won't knowingly accommodate spruikers although it can be hard to identify them.
The good news is that their presence confirms our view that we’re at the bottom of the market and hopefully headed north.
And Auctions do separate the men from the boys.
Talk to us.

It's a new era.
And, apologies to The BlackEyed Peas but….this year’s going to be a GOOD year!!!
Yeah, call us.
