The friendliest, most experienced agents you’ll ever have the pleasure of meeting. (Sure, this one’s a claim, but we consider it as fact).
The art of your sale It’s now time to discuss how we take your commercial property from ‘For Sale’ to ‘Sold!’
Our team utilise our collective excellence in service, skills and market expertise to achieve a stress-free result at the very best price possible.
From the beginning to the satisfying end, you will be guided comfortably along the selling process by a team who genuinely care.
Just as every property is unique, so too are our marketing strategies, which we create to yield an optimum outcome.
Before we get to the steps of selling, let’s elaborate on the selling methods themselves.
+++++++ +++++++ +++++++ +++++++ +++++++
The Auction • An auction campaign typically runs for 4 weeks. • Is ideal for creating urgency in any market and price maximisation. • The buyer can negotiate a purchase before auction. • Offers an immediate exchange of contracts. • The advertising campaign will be specially geared to an Auction sale. • Can reduce marketing costs as your average days on market is lower. • Avoids a ceiling price, enabling us to shoot for the top price.
For Sale • This private treaty method allows negotiation time with interested parties. • Is often preferred by inexperienced buyers, giving them control over submitting offers. • Allows for specialised terms and conditions. • Is a typically longer campaign than an auction campaign. • Priced correctly, negotiations can start early in the campaign, reducing days on market.
Off market • The property is showcased via the Upstate website only. • All potential buyers on our database are notified. • Compression viewing is used to give buyers notice that they are not the only buyers. • Selling to a database buyer reduces marketing costs, campaign time and open for inspections. • There is no guarantee of maximised pricing as the market is not surveyed.
The ecosystem of selling Our sales quiver has many arrows in it (and we’re always on target, if we do say so ourselves). Presentation To realise the full potential of your property, it’s critical a buyer sees it at its very best which is why we have a team of stylists, gardeners, cleaners and repairers ready to help.
Method Sale, Auction or Off Market? Rest assured, we’ll consider and offer you the best option suited to your property.
