WHY AUCTION Tight stock levels and strong buyer demand have created perfect conditions for Lower North Shore property owners with bullish results recorded for apartments. Buyers are desperate to get their hands on the few properties available which has spiked auction clearance rates creating a market where competition is particularly fierce.

Limited stock, premium prices, high auction clearance rates, low interest rates and phenomenal buyer enquiry combine resulting in the ideal mix for vendors allowing the prices to soar at auction.

LJ HOOKER SELLS BY AUCTION

• It fully engages buyers because it sends a message to the market that the owners are serious about selling • It forces buyers to make a decision as to whether they are committed to buying the property within a set time frame • It provides clear transparency in the bidding process, a strong criticism from buyers relating to the alternate ‘expressions of interest’ process—this transparency gives buyers the comfort to bid to their highest level • Creates a sense of urgency • Finally, the competitive nature of the auction process gives buyers the best opportunity to drive up the sale price to the owner’s benefit

Additionally, the sale is “unconditional’’ (with no cooling off period) when sold under the hammer.

SOCIAL MEDIA

DATABASE & EMAIL MARKETING

We engage our social media following via a fully integrated program which promotes your property with specifically crafted content and targeted messages. Visual Social Media extends traditional marketing campaigns so properties are seen by passive buyers, who represent a significant percentage of all sales. This package includes a unique property website with ad hooks, property video, advertising and social media boosting. We will also promote the campaign heavily on Facebook and Instagram.

Before launching your property to the market we will promote it to our extensive list of current contacts, many of whom are ‘passive buyers’ who will often pay a premium for the right property. Our database also consists of previous purchasers looking to relocate or build their property portfolio. We design unique email marketing to promote the listing to a targeted audience. We also have a strong network of buyer’s and relocation agents who are always in contact searching for properties.

PRINT MEDIA

EDITORIAL

We believe the role of print media is most effective way to capture passive buyers and retarget interested buyers. We have purchased 4 weeks’ worth of advertising in our local print publication, the Mosman Daily securing full page advertising as well as cover page strip ads. The Mosman Daily is distributed to 38,000 residence across the Lower North Shore every Thursday. We also encourage you to promote your property through print which is still the most effective promotional platform.

Given LJ Hooker Lower North Shore’s position in in the Sydney property market, we have access to all property journalists to ensure we obtain excellent editorial coverage across both digital and print platforms. We will actively seek PR opportunities to promote the auction event as well as your property. We will attempt to find news worthy content to increase exposure.

VIDEOS

PROPERTY PORTALS

Promotional videos will be published online to showcase the campaign to your target market. The short advertisement will explain the campaign concept and connect with the target market by capturing the Urban Living Lower North Shore lifestyle. We will also use this medium to introduce your property to buyers pre-release as a teaser.

Showcase your property on all leading real estate portals to increase exposure. Optimise the position of your property on these portals via our exclusive agreements which guarantees prime positioning. By creating an online presence, we can reflect the appropriate value for your property.

HOW WE SUPPORT YOUR PROPERTY & THE CAMPAIGN We recommend utilising a combination of marketing platforms to promote your property aligning it with our overall campaign strategy for the Apartment and Townhouse Auction Event.

We will pre-launch your property to our VIP Database (The Vault) and via social media channels before going live on the world-wide web.

We believe this will increase buyer competition and build anticipation.
