Just four on site auctions by our Pakuranga and Howick offices since my last update - we're about quality, not quantity. Of those, three sold under the hammer and one passed in and is now available priced at $915,000. That equates to a success rate under the hammer of 75%.
Compare that with the results at the two main in-room auctions last week - 4 sold from 15 at Bucklands Beach Yacht Club (a 27% success rate under the hammer) and just 4 sold from 31 at Manukau Sports Bowl (a lowly 16% success rate). I strongly beleive that running our auctions at the house gives us (and therefore our vendors) a far better chance of getting a result under the hammer, and usually at a much better price that those that sell in-rooms (where it feels like you are at a car auction - NEXT!)
Personally, I am currently running at an under the hammer success rate, over the last 5 years of 89%, and 100% success rate at auction or soon after.
The property market always has and always will change - it is how well an agent deals with those changes that dictates whether a property sells or not and how quickly. Serious consideration needs to be taken by vendors before choosing which agent/agency to list with. Do not choose because one is the cheapest - they could well turn out to be the most expensive at the end of the process! In life, you generally get what you pay for...

H 家的 拍卖师都是 得过奖的, 参加过很多职业比赛的职业拍卖师,现场拍卖主要是一个拍卖有1个小时慢慢去磨价格. 而且气氛也好些 有邻居来捧场. In door 拍卖最大的问题是时间太局促了,赶场子.这个中介其实说的卖车是in door, 其实美国最早的拍卖很多是卖牲口的也是in door, 因为价值不是特别高, 现场快速拍了算.
In door 一次我带客人去Takapuna 早晨10点开始拍卖, 那天下雨交通事故,下雨堵的一团糟, 10点多堵,北岸中介都疯掉了, 她买家不够,我们的买家又没有赶到现场. 去了找不到停车位,买家拼命跑过去的.
还有就是市里面大楼里面拍卖, 就更加不愿意去了.
In door 也有些好处 这样做可以大幅度降低成本. 比如买家有的想拍好几个房,一次性如果拍不到前一个,就可以拍后一个.
