Negotiations

Negotiations remain one of the most flexible and commonly used methods for selling properties in Auckland. This approach involves listing a property with a set price or as “price by negotiation.”

Benefits of Private Treaty Sales:

  • Flexibility: Allows for conditional offers, accommodating buyers needing finance approval or inspections.
  • Privacy: Negotiations are confidential, offering sellers discretion.
  • Control: Sellers manage the process and timeline more directly.

Considerations:

  • Longer Timeframe: Finding the right buyer may take more time compared to auctions.
  • Price Negotiations: Buyers might negotiate aggressively, requiring skilled handling by the agent.

Best Practices:

  1. Accurate Pricing: Work with a professional agent to set a realistic asking price based on the market.
  2. Targeted Marketing: Use digital platforms, signage, and other tools to highlight your property’s unique features.
  3. Engage Experienced Negotiators: Skilled agents can secure favorable terms for your sale.

This method is ideal for properties requiring personalized marketing or those not suited to the urgency of an auction.
