Sale By Auction Service
If you have found your dream property, it is being sold by auction, and you are unsure:
- if the advertised price guide is realistic;
- how to bid at auction so as to secure the property as the winning bidder;
- how to not become emotionally carried away in the auction frenzy;
- how to bid at auction without bidding above your budget cap limit;
- how not to be ripped off in the entire sales process.
If the above rings true for you then our individually tailored Sale By Auction Service will allow you to confidently secure your chosen property at auction. Our Sale By Auction Service is a specialist Evaluation and Negotiation Service geared toward purchases via auction. This service consists of five strategic elements:
Initial Consultation. Understanding Your Property Needs
In our initial meeting we will gain a feel for your what, where and why of property. As real estate Buyers Agents Sydney it is important we address the following questions during our initial meeting. How long have you been on the market to purchase property? Is this the first property you have focused on buying? If not, what properties have you bought before or attempted to purchase? Have you ever attended an auction? What is your budget? Has your finance (if relevant) been pre-approved? The initial meeting allows us to gain an understanding of your property desires, motivations and personal situation as your potential property Buyers Agent.
This meeting is a time for us to listen and for you to ask as many questions as you wish. We are happy to advise, guide and provide our expertise so we each may gain a sense of our fit as a team. After all, a trusting ‘agent buyer’ relationship is integral to our mutual outcome success. This meeting is also a time for you to gain an understanding of the auction process and for us to provide you with information on our services, fees and other information of interest. Lastly, it is a meeting where, in essence, you get a feel for whether you like us and our methods (or not 😊).
Service Engagement. The Official Agreement
Once we have decided we would like to work together as a property buying team, we each complete a Buyers Agency Agreement (BAA). Once we receive your signed BAA and our service fee our real estate buyers advocate work for you then begins in earnest. From this moment on you are in safe, friendly expert hands.
