The Wellington Real Estate Market
The selling process activity
Buyer enquiry and inspections will be at their highest when your property first enters the market. Current prospective buyers will always be quick to view a new listing. However, once this rush of activity has passed, there is no need to feel concerned or anxious as the level of enquiry decreases. Most buyers look at, on average, 14 properties before they buy. Rest assured, we will be staying in regular contact with all potential buyers for your property.

Early offers
When a buyer has viewed several properties they often act quite quickly once they find a home that appeals to them the most. This can often lead to a keen buyer presenting an offer early to avoid ‘missing out ’. We would recommend you consider any early offers seriously.
Open homes
Some buyers purchase with emotion rather than with logic. To enable us to encourage a potential buyer to take emotional ownership of your property, we recommend you are not present in the property during open homes. Rest assured we will maintain the security of your property and possessions at all times. Group viewing at open home times will allow you to prepare the property to be seen at its best. Open homes are an excellent way for buyers to view you home without feeling pressured by an agent.
Weekly meetings
Communication is essential throughout the selling process. As our role is to be the messenger from the market, we will report all feedback and discuss negotiating strategy with you. In this way, when you get an offer on your property, you will be able to make an informed decision.
Contract of sale
We will follow any contract of sale through to settlement date, staying in communication with both the buyer and yourself. Be aware that we will continue to market your property if the contract has conditions waiting to be met, for example ‘subject to finance approval’. Marketing for a buyer will only stop when the property is legally sold.
Sold
Much of our business comes from local property owners who become aware of our success. Once we have achieved a successful sale, we would greatly appreciate the opportunity to display the word ‘Sold’ on our signage until settlement date.
