We will act as sole agents for the marketing and sale of the property. Our fees are based on performance and reflect a percentage of the sale price when an unconditional sale is concluded. We propose a flat fee of 2.9% +GST and a $500 +GST AML contract admin fee. At an estimated price of $1,800,000 the effective commission would be $52,500 + GST
Advantages:
Unconditional offers: Requiring all offers to be unconditional means that buyers must have their finances in order and be fully committed to purchasing the property, reducing the likelihood of a sale falling through due to financing issues.
No-price marketing: By not listing a specific price, the property can attract a wider range of potential buyers and create a sense of competition, potentially leading to a premium sale figure.
Clearly-defined process: The auction process is structured and has strict milestone dates, which generates maximum competitive tension and can result in a higher sale price.
Mitigation of risks : Thorough preparation and planning, including setting a reserve price, ensures that the sales process is as risk-free as possible for the vendor.
Access to purchasers: The auction approach leaves no stone unturned when it comes to reaching potential buyers and encouraging their participation in the sale.
Ability to accept pre-auction offers: The vendor has the option to accept an offer prior to the auction, giving them more control over the sales process.
Transparency of process: The open bidding process provides social proofing for potential buyers, giving them confidence that they are paying a fair market price.
Confidential reserve price: The reserve price is set confidentially, ensuring that the property is only eligible for sale at the vendor’s chosen price.
Qualified buyers: Only qualified buyers are able to bid, which increases the likelihood of a successful sale on the day of the auction.
Disadvantages:
Public method of sale: An auction is a public method of sale where potential buyers gather at a specific location to bid on a property. Some purchasers don’t like a public method of sale.
Limited audience: Auctions may not attract as many potential buyers as traditional methods, as some buyers may be put off by the competitive nature of the process.
Sale by Price By Negotiation (PBN) is a traditional method of sale where a property is marketed without a listed price. Instead, interested buyers are invited to make an offer based on their own assessment of the property’s value.
The lack of a listed price can generate interest and attract a wider range of potential buyers who may not have considered the property if a specific price was listed. This can create competition among buyers and potentially lead to a higher sale price.
Interested buyers are typically given a timeframe within which to make an offer, and these offers can be conditional or unconditional. If the vendor receives an offer that they are willing to consider, negotiations between the vendor and the buyer usually ensue to arrive at a mutually agreeable price.
This negotiation process can involve multiple rounds of offers and counter-offers until both parties reach a price that is acceptable. Once an agreement is reached, a contract of sale is signed and a deposit is paid.
Advantages: of PBN is that it provides flexibility for both the vendor and the buyer to negotiate terms and conditions of the sale. Additionally, by attracting a wide range of potential buyers, the vendor may receive offers that are above their expected price range.
Disadvantages: of PBN is the lack of a listed price can also lead to uncertainty and potential confusion among buyers who may not be sure how much to offer. It is important for both vendors and buyers to carefully consider the negotiation process and seek professional advice before proceeding with a PBN sale.
A Fixed Price is a method of sale where a specific price is listed for the property, which is typically based on a professional appraisal or valuation of the property’s market value. This sets clear expectations for potential buyers from the outset and communicates the vendor’s expectation around price.
Listing a Fixed Price can attract a wide range of potential buyers, including those who prefer to see prices listed on properties. It also allows for prequalification of purchasers prior to enquiry, which can save time and effort for both the vendor and the agent.
Fixed Price also leaves no stone unturned in terms of access to purchasers and getting them to participate. Some buyers may opt not to work with no-price processes, so having a Fixed Price can help to ensure that all potential buyers are considered.
Advantage: of Fixed Price is that it allows for the vendor to accept an offer at any time during the process, providing more flexibility and control over the sale. However, it’s important to note that offers can still be conditional, meaning that the sale may not necessarily proceed until all conditions are satisfied.
Disadvantages: Fixed Price is that it may not generate as much interest or competition among buyers compared to other methods of sale, such as Auction or PBN. Additionally, if the property is priced too high, it may deter potential buyers and lead to a longer time on the market.
A Deadline Sale campaign is a marketing method where a property is advertised without a listed price and potential buyers are given a deadline by which to submit an offer. This method creates competition between buyers without price being the focus, which can result in achieving a premium price for the property.
One of the main benefits of a Deadline Sale campaign is that it provides a clearly-defined process with strict milestone dates to generate maximum competitive tension among potential buyers. This can create a sense of urgency and encourage buyers to submit their best possible offer before the deadline.
Another advantage of Deadline Sale is that it leaves no stone unturned in terms of access to purchasers and getting them to participate. The campaign can attract a wide range of potential buyers, and the vendor can accept offers at any time during the process if they are compelling.
Additionally, Deadline Sale does not discourage purchasers who dislike pressure and may wish to offer prior to the campaign close. This provides flexibility for both the vendor and the buyer to negotiate deals at any time during the process.
Furthermore, a Deadline Sale campaign can help to mitigate risks to the vendor during the sales process via thorough preparation and planning. The campaign can be tailored to suit the specific needs of the vendor and the property, ensuring that all potential buyers are considered and that the best possible outcome is achieved.

A tailored marketing campaign has been prepared specifically for 8 Falconer Rise, which includes the following:
Whilst marketing tools are important to ‘spread the net’ for potential buyers as wide as possible and also to confirm to known buyers that the property is on the market, our key focus is still old-fashioned hard work and salesmanship.
This means making the ‘warm calls’ to appropriate potential purchasers with whom we have established credibility and relationships with a view to getting a meeting to pitch the property as the ideal solution to their needs and getting as many parties as possible ‘hot’ on the opportunity.
A credible introduction from trusted agents is often required to motivate buyers into their initial investigation and focus their attention. This person-to-person direct interface is why we work closely as a team to ensure that the correct individuals and businesses are approached and that all buyers are considered welcome.
Exterior and interior photography to showcase the position and locality of the property is essential. Videography helps to tell a story that captures the emotional and rational triggers that buyers respond to. We recommend investment in quality video that works to highlight the flow, setting and feel of a property.
It is also key for buyers who are outside of Queenstown and not able to attend a physical viewing. If appropriate, we will also consider drone photography/videography (subject to
airspace consent).

A picture is worth a thousand words. In today’s world of information overload we only have seconds to grab a potential purchaser’s attention. Imagery is so critical to the sales campaign, that for all exclusive agency agreements there is no extra charge to you. Videography helps to tell a story that captures the emotional and rational triggers that buyers respond to. We recommend investment in quality video that works to highlight the flow, setting and feel of a property. It is also key for buyers who are outside of Queenstown and not able to attend a physical viewing.
Once all marketing collateral has been put together and signed off by you, we will launch the property to market.
We listen to buyers feedback and report back to you.
From 1 January 2019, real estate agents are required to verify the idenity of their vendors in accordance with Anti-Money Laundering legislation. Our AML verification is handled by a third party company TICC
We highly recommend commissioning building inspection and a LIM report to assist buyers with their Due Diligence and remove potential barriers to purchase. We can assist you with getting these ordered/ organised.
We understand that no two properties are the same, therefore we create bespoke marketing collateral for all our listings. We work with you collaboratively to compile this information and will seek your approval before presenting anything to the market.
The entire Colliers residential sales team will visit your property. This is an important stage in preparing your property for the market, they will provide valuable pricing feedback
We present the offer/s to you for your consideration and advise your best course of action. It is our job to work in your best interest, so will continue to actively sell your property until you receive an offer you’re happy with. We don’t need to rush this process.
Once we’ve received an offer you’re happy with and settlement day has come, we take a moment to celebrate with you.
Once you have decided to put your home on the market, there are a few key things to consider in order to optimise interest and ultimately the sales price you achieve.
Buyers like to imagine what it would be like to live in a property, so try to make it easy for them to feel good about yours. Gentle music and a few scattered cushions can make all the difference on inspection day. The power of emotion is strong, even with a shrewd investor.
Clear out the clutter. It makes the property feel more spacious, which can in turn allow potential buyers to visualise how to put their own touches into the home.
Everyone loves sunshine, so open up blinds and curtains for inspections, and make sure that windows are clean inside and out. With views like Queenstown’s, it pays to make the most of them.
Even the smallest of issues can make buyers wary about other, less obvious issues. Fix what people will see, and make the property appear well maintained.
The garden is quite often the last thing on the list for vendors. However for buyers, it can form that crucial first impression. Some key points to consider include:
• Remove children’s bikes and toys
• Make sure bins and compost are out of sight
• Clean outdoor furniture and clear paths of moss
• and leaf debris
• Prune shrubs and trees and mow lawns to look
• neat and tidy
Keep on top of weeds
A good kitchen can help sell a property. Not only is it an essential part of a home, but it can be the most inconvenient and expensive to replace or refurbish. If your kitchen is a little dated, there are a few simple ways in which you can increase its appeal:
• Change cupboard handles for something more modern
• Put appliances out of sight and keep bench space clear
• Pay special attention to the cleanliness of sinks, stoves and ovens
• Wipe marks from splashbacks and cupboard doors
Make it as inviting and relaxing as possible, with candles, beautiful bed linen and cushions to create a sanctuary-like feel.
