One vision, many helping hands_
Our best work comes when we combine our expertise and unite toward a common goal. Bower is not a franchise of unattached offices, but a meaningful network of 70+ diverse, talented agents who deliver the power of big, with the patience and speed of small. We don’t look, think or act the same, but in our house, we all work together.
Set the stage, capture the feeling_
As the saying goes, you can’t sell a secret. While it’s not all about looksattracting buyers requires capturing the right image to ensure all eyes are on you. Before your property hits the market, we spend time in your space to identify and shine a light on key aspects that represent emotional connections. Emotion lives at the heart of our photography and builds lasting connections with the very buyers you want.
Your place is as different as the next, so its easy to see why no two marketing campaigns should be the same. Whatever your property or your story, to maximise the sale price of your home we need to generate competition by reaching the broadest possible spectrum of potential buyers no matter where they are in the world.
We’ll recommend a carefully chosen selection of smart strategies to make sure your property is on the minds of buyers. Our marketing campaigns are customised, cost effective and professionally produced, not a cent goes to waste and you’ll see measurable results for your investment throughout the sales process.
Nobody purchases in your area without coming into contact with our team and for good reason_
Getting your property in front of the right buyers is the bread and butter of our business. We have been actively connecting with buyers and sellers in this suburb for years. Those longstanding, personal connections are the backbone of our success, making us the largest independent agency in the region with the largest local database. Our state-of-the art buyer matching software is the most powerful database tool in use in the region. This ensures no stone will be left unturned in presenting your property to the market.
Reaching the broadest buyer pool_
Online
Digital marketing is a crucial element of any successful real estate campaign. With the vast majority of home buyers starting their search online, it’s essential to have a strong online presence. Our digital marketing strategies can help you reach a wider audience, generate leads, and ultimately get that sold sign up.
Print
While digital marketing is essential, print is still an important tool from flyers to property information booklets, local and national newspaper advertising and our quarterly inhouse magazine. Every property has a different target market and print channels still have a broad readership which can help to reach an older demographic who may not be as active online.
Publications
Including detailed floorplans in your property listing is a smart marketing move that can help to set your property apart from the rest. Prospective buyers appreciate being able to visualise the layout and flow of the property, making it easier for them to picture themselves living there..
Social Media
Social channels are a powerful marketing tool that keep your property top of mind for targeted buyers throughout the sales campaign. Using sophisticated demographic tools, our social media marketing is carefully planned to maximise views and engagement.
Signage
To make your property easier to find, a signboard will be installed at the front of the property. Street side signboards are the cornerstone of property marketing, a proven tool to attract buyers in the area who make not be actively looking. Our signboards intrigue buyers and drive them to the online listing of your property so we can capture their interest.
Photo and Video
High-quality photos and video showcase the property’s best features and create emotional connections. With our professional photography services, your property will stand out from the competition and leave a lasting impression.
Getting the strategy right_
From knowing market trends and determining the right price, to leveraging buyer dynamics in marketing and negotiations, listing and selling your property effectively requires a strategic approach for the best results_
1 - Appraisal
We’re experienced at appraising value, we know the market, we’re the experts in your suburb and we understand the characteristics which make your property stand out. We know how to read the tea leaves and get the right price that accommodates and attracts buyers from every bracket. Throughout the campaign we will constantly review our appraisal, checking for new activity which may impact your value and sharing that knowledge to keep you informed.
2 - Listing
To kick off the process of selling your property, our agency agreement and related paperwork will need to be completed and signed. As part of this process, we will need to complete an AML verification to check your identity. The Bower agency agreement and associated listing documents are as streamlined as possible, they meet the stringent requirements of the legal framework designed to protect both you and your buyer. You will also need to engage a conveyancer or solicitor to provide legal advice and complete the sale of your property.
3 - Marketing
Behind the scenes, Bower is one of the few agencies in Tauranga with a dedicated marketing division focused on presenting your property in its best light. Our designers, photographers and copywriters work closely with the listing agent to prepare a collection of premium collateral to attract and connect deeply with buyers. Bower has the widest reach both locally, nationally and internationally so you can be sure your property is getting in front of buyers wherever they’re based.
4 - Campaign Calendar
Before your property is officially listed ‘on the market’, we’ll establish a campaign calendar so that you know what to expect, and when to expect it. Setting things such as open home times might seem like a simple part of the process, but we need to factor in a whole range of potential issues such as the best time of day for sun in your living areas or traffic congestion in your area. Nothing we do is set in stone, as the campaign goes, we may need to make adjustments to the calendar and we’ll communicate those clearly to you.
5 - Auction
The culmination of weeks of work, auction day is an exciting and sometimes nerve-racking event. Our auctioneer is an expert at negotiations and the whole Bower team will be on hand for support. We’ll step through all of the possible outcomes with you and make sure you have all the information you need to get a fantastic result.
6 - Sold
While this seems simple even at this point there is a lot to do. The buyers have the legal right to one final legal inspection which is normally carried out as close to settlement as physically possible. With all property, but in particular lifestyle properties where there are a lot of intricacies, We always try to encourage the exchange of details and a good relationship between buyer and vendor. Things such as water pumps, filters, pool equipment are not always straight forward. We will be on hand to assist with this process and your solicitor or conveyancer will finalise the terms of the sale.
Always in the loop_
The right decisions require the right information. Once your property is on the market, you’ll want to know exactly what is happening behind the scenes with your campaign so that when the time comes to finalise the sale, you’re armed with the knowledge you need.
We spend a lot of time with every possible buyer, making sure they’re also ready to move forward with the purchase. As our client, we'll be in touch after every inspection, and we'll also provide weekly written reports detailing the position of prospective buyers, real time marketing feedback and statistics and our expert analysis. You will have total vision over who the key buyers for your property are, their budgets, feedback and view on value.
No matter where we are in the campaign, we want to make sure you are comfortable with our strategy. We’re always available to chat, answer any questions and review your current position.
Our pioneering online platform allows you to access information about your campaign at any time. You'll have all the data you need at the touch of a button.
