Selling A Property | House Auctions | City Sales

Why Auction?

In a market where buyers are spoilt for choice, decision making is often confused and delayed. The Auction process introduces an element of urgency and provides your property with a point of difference.

Additional benefits of the Auction process among others include:

Robust market exposure in print, multiple websites and through multi-media channels including our extensive investor database
A short, defined period for sale which has benefits not only for you but encourages tenants to agree to more generous access terms or if vacant, minimises the vacancy period
Competing properties for sale are often ‘frozen’ until after your Auction

Buyer interest is focused over the short marketing period
Competitive bidding results in confidence the best price is being achieved
The sale is unconditional – the property is sold

A monetary contribution is a requirement for conducting an Auction marketing program. It is likely however you will be more than compensated by the result achieved. Further promotional activities are included, many exclusive to auction properties. Your Broker will recommend the most suitable for your circumstances and property.

Further information on Auctions can be found on the Real Estate Agents Authority Website www.reaa.govt.nz

Testimonials

"Thanks so much Gabrielle for all you have done to sell one of my apartments. Right from the start you made the process smooth and easy with your calm, professional manner, your friendly approach and honesty. Even though I had auction jitters, I had utmost confidence that everything was in your very capable hands and that you had been working diligently on my behalf. And what a successful outcome! It has been a pleasure dealing with you Gabrielle and when I am ready to purchase again I will have no hesitation in coming straight to you and to City Sales."

"Georgia Featherstone recently acted as our real estate agent assisting us to sell our inner city apartment in Auckland. My wife and I found her to be approachable, friendly, helpful and efficient. She was careful to ensure that all documentation required by the new real estate law was complete. She negotiated sensitively with the incumbent tenants to arrange access. We were very impressed with the fullness of the reports on buyers comments and comments about the current market she sent us. We are confident that she did all she could to reach prospective buyers and to organise the auction thoroughly so that we could get the best price possible on the day."

"We used City sales Ltd to market and sell our Auckland apartment. It was a difficult period for us during the time we were selling but our agent was exemplary in every way. From our first meeting when he took us through the whole process right through to the auction day, he kept us totally informed every step of the way. After every open home he sent a detailed list of the number of viewers and their comments. Needless to say the whole process went smoothly and we achieved a result on auction day that exceeded our expectations. We have no reservations in recommending City Sales if you are considering selling or buying property."

"From our first meeting Georgia impressed me with her clear and concise advice, knowledge of the Auckland apartment market, and ability to ascertain the recent movements in sales. She is a friendly, sensitive agent who seeks to listen and ensure she provides a service, which is geared to the client’s wishes. She is thorough in everything she does and follows up all actions with reports, both verbal and in email form. This ensures there are no surprises and everything is documented. The apartment I sold, at Century on Anzac, was affected by a cladding issue, which caused the body corporate to take advice. Georgia showed a deep knowledge of other apartment blocks that had been affected by extraneous issues. She was always quick to seek advice and professional help to guide me on an appropriate course of action. I felt confident that I had the best advice and support I could gain. In the days up to the auction, Georgia remained a constant and calm agent, ensuring I was able to understand every deadline I had to meet, and the consequences of each action I took. She ensured the wider team of City Sales were all working in my interests and I was happy with the auction outcome. I would recommend Georgia to anyone selling a property as an honest professional, who does the best for everyone involved."

"Buying a property while in Australia is not without its problems, but Gabrielle made it easy for us. When the time came to sell, following a lifestyle change, we could sit back in Australia knowing that the property was in good hands and that Gabrielle would be working very hard to ensure that, come auction day, there would be potential buyers in the room to ensure a successful outcome. On auction day things could not have gone better, and Gabrielle was able to obtain a sale price and conditions that we were very happy with."

"Big thanks to Georgia Featherstone for [the sale of] my two apartments. Once I decided to sell Georgia swooped in and organised marketing, set up open homes (despite cranky tenants) and made sure we had the correct paperwork. She showed enthusiasm, drive and a professional attitude throughout. In just three weeks the apartments were put on the market and then sold at auction. One even fetched a record price. So thanks for helping the process quick, painless and profitable."

"I approached May recently to sell my apartment due to her success and knowledge of selling apartments in the building. It was my first property sale so I didn't know what to expect but May was at hand to explain things and she quickly put me at ease with all aspects of the process. I was in no desperation to sell and even with the high expectations for the price I wanted, May was confident that the property would go at auction at the price I wanted. May used all her knowledge, experience and client contacts to attract the right buyers to auction and she delivered. The apartment sold at a price higher than I expected and I couldn't be happier!"

"Maryanne, thank you for achieving great results yesterday. We are pleased with the outcome of the Auction. I will certainly recommend your agency to all. City Sales looked after us from renting to selling, I just cannot thank you enough."

Y.S. (Vendor)

"Thank you very much for your hard work to achieve a good result at the auction. Personally, I was not confident of reaching our target, but your enthusiasm and effort got us there. Well done and thank you."
