Real estate in South Brisbane has a new face.




When it comes to selling your property, there are three popular methods to choose from:

  • Private Treaty (for sale)
  • Public Auction
  • Expressions of interest

Establishing exactly what you want and why from the very beginning will assist you to choose the best method of sales for you. So what do you really want?
There are three things that remain consistent when it comes to deciding to sell. They are:

  • PRICE - best/premium price
  • URGENCY - a quick sale
  • PRIVACY - as little inconvenience and publicity as possible

Ranking these three things in order of importance will help you and your agent establish the best marketing campaign and method of sale for you situation. My experience confirms the two most successful and popular methods of sale are private treaty (for sale) and auction. In fact, both can and do yield excellent results when accompanied by the right marketing campaign and skillful negotiation by the agent.

You should choose the method best suited to your personal requirements. Also look at the types of buyers in your area. I will compare the success of each method. There is likely to be trend for one of them, which may help you achieve greater success.
