What happens, in the order it happens, from the first conversation to settlement day.
It comes in writing, and it comes with the sales behind it. Every comparable sale near you, what each one actually did, and where your house sits against them in the market as it is right now rather than as it was last year. If nothing nearby is a true comparison, I tell you that rather than reach for one. You read it before anyone talks price. Here’s the honest number.
Tender, deadline sale, auction or by negotiation. Each one does something different to price, time and certainty, and the right one depends on your house, your street and the season. I put the reasoning in writing, including what each method means for how I am paid, so you choose with the whole picture in front of you.
Commission as a dollar figure worked off the appraisal, not a percentage left for you to do the maths on. Marketing as an itemised plan with the cost against every line and a clear mark on what is optional. All of it before you sign anything, so the decision is made on paper and not in a hallway.
A carefully crafted marketing plan, designed to put your property in front of the right buyers rather than the most buyers. Professional photography and floor plans that show the house as it is. Targeted campaigns across Facebook, Instagram and Google that reach the people already searching and the people who did not know they were. Tommy’s Lifestyle Magazine, delivered with The Post across Wellington. The green sign on the street. And a buyer database built over more than ten years in this patch, which is where the first calls go.
Open homes, and private viewings for the buyers who want time in the house. After every one, the feedback in writing: who came through, what they said, and where the price conversation is sitting. Weekly, whether the news is good or not, so you are never left guessing.
The disclosure work is done early: LIM, title, body corporate if it applies. Anything a buyer could find later, we find first and put in front of them. A multi-offer runs on a written process, so every buyer knows the rules and you can see how the decision was made. Then negotiation, then settlement, with nothing surfacing late.
Ask me to come through. I will bring the sales, and the appraisal comes with them, in writing.
Usually within one business day.
Tell me your street and I will send you your suburb performance report, with specific sales and data.
No visit, no pitch. The evidence first.
