Top Allenton location on a terrific corner section.

Every vendor’s dream is to receive a multioffer on their property. But what exactly is a multi-offer?

A multi-offer is as it reads when more than one offer is being made on a property.

However, most importantly, the real estate agent you are dealing with should

P.A.

Multi-offers

%

As a purchaser, if the property you are summiting an offer on is going to be a multi-offer, you should be informed that you will need to put your best offer forward right from the beginning. The vendor may choose to accept one of the offers, negotiate with one of the presented offers or reject all the offers and ask for a re-summit. If the vendor chooses not to negotiate or accept your offer, you will be informed by your salesperson/agent and then again if the other offer is accepted or rejected by the vendor. There is still a small chance that the negotiation with the first offer may fall over and the agent may then contact you to see if you are happy

to continue with your offer and the vendor might now negotiate with your offer. You need to know exactly what is happening expect clear communication from your salesperson or agent.

As a vendor how can an agent promote your house to achieve a multi-offer? Make your price as sharp as possible; remember it’s the purchaser that ultimately decides how much your property is worth to them. Think about it. Have you ever paid more for something just because you wanted it and saw value in it? Marketing is everything and we talk about it all the time. The more buyers through the door the more competition. This creates urgency. But without the numbers, how are you going to have more than one offer bidding the price of your property up?

Consider having open homes on your property. I have noticed that more people are coming to open homes than

private viewings.

Are you on all levels of marketing to create interest and those numbers?

Websites such as realestate.co.nz and Trade Me are still popular with buyers to look for property. Make sure you have covered all advertising to get exposure.

Also remember you hold the reins so to speak. If your salesperson or agent has been communicating well with you and creating weekly vendor reports, then you should have an overall picture on how you see your property. You are the one at the end of the day that signs the deal. Don’t let anyone make you feel pressured.

At Bayleys we will work with you to ensure that your property is marketed correctly. We want to give you the best chance of receiving multi-offers. If you are in the market to sell your home, call a Bayleys agent on 307 7377 and get the exposure you deserve.

Create colour with cineraria

Henri Ham

AWAPUNI NURSERIES

It’s easy to think that impending winter means no more colour in the garden. But it doesn’t need to be this way. There are plenty of annuals which love cooler, shadier conditions and will provide the colour your garden misses over winter.

Cineraria is one such plant and produces striking blue, white, red and purplish blooms. Primula, polyanthus, pansies, antirrhinums (otherwise known as snapdragons) and wallflowers are other examples of brightly coloured annuals that don’t mind a little cold weather. These ones Once you’ve got your seedlings you need come in a range of colours like pink, blue, to find a shady, damp spot to grow them in. yellow, white and more.

same spot.

Once planted, keep an eye out for caterpillars – simply pick them off, or spray with an insecticide.

And watch out for slugs – try using our ‘beer bait’.

Lastly, be careful not to over water.

Because you will have planted in the shade and the weather is cooler as we head into winter, they won’t need as much water as plants growing in full sun.

Then sit back and wait for your arrival of colour in around six to eight weeks – depending on the warmth of your soil at the time of planting.

AT HOME

Selling property without a real estate If you’re selling an old appliance, or even a second-hand car, it’s fairly safe to assume you can do it yourself without much hassle. You advertise it, find a buyer, exchange the goods for the money and it’s all sorted. There’s no need for a third party to manage the process.

But things get a bit more complicated when it comes to selling property. Get this kind of transaction wrong and you could be paying the price for years to come.

The Real Estate Agents Authority (REAA), the independent Crown entity that’s responsible for New Zealand’s licensed real estate agents, wants people to be as informed as possible about buying and selling property. It recommends working with a licensed real estate agent when you’re selling.

“Property transactions involve professional experts at every stage – as well as real estate agents, people are likely to engage with valuers, building inspectors, engineers and lawyers,” REAA chief executive Kevin Lampen-Smith says.

“Real estate agents are expected to continually upskill to stay on top of changes to legislation and current requirements, so working with a licensed agent gives you improved security. If you sell your home privately you do not have the same access to redress if things go wrong. A real estate agent is there to help you navigate the

process and get the best result.”

As a seller, you are legally obliged to share all relevant information about a property to prospective buyers, such as whether or not it is subject to weather-tightness issues, for example. If you mislead a potential buyer, they can seek to cancel the sale and purchase agreement.

They can even take you to court later if you’ve misinformed them about the state of the property and they suffer subsequent financial loss.

Lampen-Smith says people should also be aware of their obligations, particularly regarding commission, if a property had been first listed with an agent.
