FAQ

Every home is different, but the length of time it takes to sell your home will depend largely on the current market conditions. In markets where supply is low, and demand is high, the period is generally shorter. When the supply is high, and demand low, days on market can become protracted. Either way, you can be assured that we will do everything we can to generate interest and sell your property for the best price possible.

In most cases we can work with the furniture you have in your home, however professional styling can make a huge difference to how a space is seen by a potential buyer. The stylist not only adds beautiful pieces, but they also use strategy to make spaces look larger or to give them a purpose. If styling your home is something you want to know more about, we will be more than happy to discuss options with you.

In some cases, a coat of paint can make a huge difference to a home but generally speaking we wouldn't advise you to start sinking money into any major renovations. Before you make any changes to your home, speak with us so we can help you assess whether the updates would actually increase the value of your property.

Every property is unique, and the best sales method will depend on your property, your goals, and current market conditions. We'll provide honest advice and recommend the approach we believe will give your property the best exposure to the right buyers. Private Treaty (or Private Sale) is the most common method of selling property in New Zealand, with your home marketed at a set price and offers negotiated between buyer and seller. Depending on your property and the market, other methods such as Tender, Deadline Sale, Price by Negotiation or Auction may also be appropriate. We'll guide you through the options and help you choose the sales method that's right for you.

Presentation is key. Even before the scheduled open homes, potential buyers could be driving past your home, so you need to make sure your front lawns and gardens are maintained and inviting throughout the entire campaign. Whether people are driving past unintentionally or intentionally, you want them to get a good first impression so that they come back for the open home.
