HOW MUNISH SETH SOLD THIS IN FOUR WEEKS FOR AN EXTRA

Selling a home in today’s market is often challenging, especially when you’re competing against other homes in the same street that have been on the market for months. This was the situation Richard and Linda Siddall found themselves in when they decided to sell their home in North Park. Despite this challenge, Munish Seth from Barfoot & Thompson Howick sold their home in just four weeks, achieving an incredible $171,000 over the reserve.

Why Richard Chose Munish

Richard’s decision to hire Munish was driven by his proven track record and clear expertise. “At the time we were planning to sell

our home in Amberwood Drive, North Park, there were other properties in the next street that had been on the market with other agents for over six months. We were competing, and it was a concern to us,” Richard explained. “But we knew Munish was a great performer. We felt he would bring something special to make our home appealing to buyers.”

Richard had seen first-hand that many agents were struggling to generate interest in the area. Homes were stagnating, and prices were falling short of expectations. Instead of seeking a cheaper agent, Richard made the strategic decision to invest in Munish, an agent he trusted to

deliver superior results.

The Strategy: Beyond Just Listing a Property

Munish’s approach was proactive and targeted. He didn’t just list Richard’s home and hope for the best; he implemented a clear plan to showcase the property in its best light.

“From the start, Munish gave us confidence. He knew how to sell homes like ours in a challenging market, and his advice on what needed to be done was spot on,” Richard said.

Munish’s strategy involved professional staging, high-quality photography, and a well-thought-

out marketing campaign. “Our home looked great as it was, but Munish made it clear that buyers needed to see themselves living there. He recommended professional staging to make the property more appealing, and it really made a difference,” Richard added.

“When you’re selling a home in a tough market, it’s not just about getting it out there—it’s about creating an emotional connection between the buyer and the property,” Munish explained. “Staging, professional photography, and targeted marketing are all part of that.”

Reaching the Right Buyers

Munish’s focus on presenting the home well was paired with a targeted marketing campaign. He didn’t just wait for buyers to find the property—he actively worked to ensure it reached the right audience. “For Richard’s home, we used a mix of digital and print advertising, and we focused on the specific groups of buyers who would be most interested in the property,” Munish explained.

This hands-on approach is something Munish is known for. In fact, another client, Ying Lu, who worked with Munish on selling their property, said, “Munish possesses strong expertise in professional knowledge and skills. His ‘cando’ attitude makes him no competitor in this market. He has outstanding communication skills when interacting with clients and consistently establishes strong relationships in a friendly and professional manner.”

For Richard, this proactive engagement with buyers was crucial in generating interest in his home. Munish didn’t just market the property; he built connections with potential buyers, ensuring they stayed engaged throughout the process. “Munish followed up regularly with potential buyers. He made sure they were still interested, and he kept us informed every step of the way,” Richard shared.

The Auction: A Competitive Bidding War

All of Munish’s efforts culminated in a highly successful auction, where four active bidders competed for the property. In a process that lasted around 20 minutes, more than 100 bids were placed, and the home ultimately sold for $171,000 over the reserve price

“Munish’s objective was to get a lot of people through the house through good marketing, targeting the right buyers, and making sure they arrived at the auction,” Richard said. “I was totally impressed. Munish worked tirelessly to follow up with buyers and keep them excited about the property. That’s why we ended up with such a competitive auction.”

Munish explained the importance of having multiple motivated bidders at an auction: “The key to a successful auction is creating competition. When buyers see that other people are serious about a property, they’re more likely to push themselves higher than they initially planned.”

When Richard and Linda Siddall decided to sell their home in North Park, they faced a market where many homes had been sitting unsold for over six months. They knew they needed an agent who could stand out from the rest, which is why they chose Munish Seth from Barfoot & Thompson Howick.

“We knew Munish was a great performer,” Richard said. “Those other homes had been sitting around for a while without bids or success in sale. So we felt that Munish would bring something special to make our home appealing to buyers.”

A Proven Track Record of Success

Clients like Ying Lu, who worked with Munish, echoed the Siddalls’ confidence in his abilities. Munish’s professional competence played a key role in the success of our selling. His communication skills and ‘can-do’ attitude make him no competitor in this market.”

For Richard and Linda, Munish’s clear strategy and experience were reassuring. “Munish guided us through every step,” Richard explained. “He knew exactly how to market our home to the right buyers and ensured that everything was done properly.”

Henrik & Caroline Falkner, who also worked with Munish, shared a similar experience: “Munish was proactive in finding a suitable

buyer and always kept us up to date with the process. He has good local knowledge and a proven track record in the area.”

Finding the Right Buyers

Munish worked hard to find the right buyers for the Siddalls’ home, pro actively engaging with potential clients and using tailored marketing. “When you’re competing against other homes, you have to bring something unique to the table,” Munish said. “For Richard’s home, that meant focusing on how we could present it as a must-see listing through strong marketing and emotional appeal.”

His approach wasn’t just about filling the home with people—it was about attracting the right people. Clients like Julian & Holly McCurdy, who had a similar experience, emphasized Munish’s dedication: “Munish and his team

HE JUST WORKS, HE NEVER STOPS WHY MUNISH

were committed and diligent, using their market knowledge and relationships to sell our property after it had been listed for many months.”

Why Communication and Trust Matter When Selling

Richard also appreciated Munish’s constant communication and transparency throughout the process. “Munish kept us informed about everything, from feedback after each open home to what the buyers were saying,” Richard said. “His communication made all the difference.”

Clients like Kim Tran agreed, stating: “Munish has been my agent on three occasions. He’s always efficient, easy to communicate with, and very prompt in actioning requests. I’ve recommended him to friends and family.”

Conclusion: A Dynamic Approach in a Challenging Market

Richard and Linda’s decision to choose Munish proved to be the right one. “We trusted Munish to guide us through the process, and he delivered beyond our expectations,” Richard concluded. “In a tough market, having an agent like Munish makes all the difference.”

The auction, which lasted for about 20 minutes, was a testament to Munish’s ability to generate interest and create a competitive environment.

“When the auction started, there were no bids at first, and you have that sinking feeling,” Richard remembered. “But then the bidding started, and it just kept going for 20 minutes. That’s an amazing feeling, knowing that people want your house and are willing to pay for it.”

Stephen & Patricia Banks, vendors who also experienced Munish’s auction skills, said: “Munish was careful and thorough. We were confident to make our decisions because Munish was quick to answer or respond to any questions we had regarding our sale. We were very impressed.”

detail, engagement with buyers, and excellent communication, Richard and Linda saw their home sell for much more than they had anticipated. “If anyone’s going to carry through to the end and deliver a top result, I would be very confident that Munish is going to achieve that,” Richard said. Munish’s ability to attract the right buyers, keep them engaged, and manage the auction process is what sets him apart from other

agents. Richard and Linda Siddall weren’t the only clients who experienced this success.

Expanding Auction Reach: How Munish Seth Connects Buyers Across New Zealand and Beyond

Munish Seth knows the importance of creating a competitive, accessible auction environment for his clients. While attracting a strong local turnout is crucial—as seen in John Siddall’s recent auction with 65 in-person attendees—Munish also recognises the need to engage buyers who may be interested in a property but cannot attend in person.

That’s why he promotes Barfoot & Thompson’s live in-house and online auction solutions, which open bidding to a wider audience across New Zealand and even internationally.

Online Auctions: Bridging Distance with Digital Access

Munish is committed to ensuring that every potential buyer, regardless of location, can participate in his auctions. Through Barfoot & Thompson’s digital auction platform, buyers can bid in real time on properties from the comfort of their own homes, using smart phones or tablets.

The Bidder AUCTIONS LIVE app provides a transparent, secure way for people anywhere in the world to join live auctions, opening up access to a global audience and maximising exposure for each property.

“Recognising that not everyone can be physically present at our auctions, we have developed a digital solution that allows buyers to bid online,” Munish explained. This approach ensures that no interested buyer is left out, expanding the pool of potential bidders and increasing the likelihood of achieving top prices.

Seamless and Secure Bidding from Any Device

Through the barfoot.co.nz/ onlineauctions website, buyers can watch live auctions from any device, though bidding requires the Bidder AUCTIONS LIVE app. The app’s secure, transparent bidding environment reassures both buyers and sellers, allowing them to engage confidently in real time. Qualified auctioneers

manage these online auctions, ensuring the same excitement and professionalism as traditional inroom or on-site auctions.

By adhering to pre-qualifying principles, the online bidding process maintains the high standards buyers and sellers expect from Barfoot & Thompson. Buyers must register and undergo a verification process to bid, which ensures they are fully prepared to complete the sale if they win. This layer of verification makes the process secure and straightforward for all parties involved.

How the Online Auction Works

Munish’s digital auction approach is carefully designed to be as smooth and accessible as possible. Before the auction, buyers interested in a property register online, undergoing a verification process that screens for financial readiness to complete the purchase. Once verified, they are able to log in to the Bidder AUCTIONS LIVE app and bid when the auction goes live.

Throughout the auction, the app and auctioneer announce when the property has met its reserve price, keeping everyone informed as the sale progresses. Any necessary negotiations during or after the auction are managed with the same expertise and efficiency as a traditional auction, ensuring a seamless experience for all parties.

Digital Document Signing: Closing Sales Quickly and Securely

Munish goes a step further by offering a digital document signing platform, which allows both buyers and sellers to sign legally binding documents from wherever they are. Using DocuSign, a secure and widely trusted system, parties can complete the sale process without needing to be physically present to sign. This digital signing feature is a free service to clients, enhancing convenience and expediting the sale’s finalisation.

The Benefits of Online and InPerson Auctions Combined

By providing options for both inperson and online bidding, Munish maximises the property’s exposure and competition, ensuring his clients achieve the best possible results. With a combination of strong local interest and the ability for remote buyers to join in, every auction reaches its full potential. For vendors considering selling with Munish, the decision to use a hybrid auction model offers peace of mind, knowing that every potential buyer, whether local or abroad, has the chance to bid.

Munish’s dedication to making the auction process accessible and competitive reflects his commitment to achieving top results. By integrating live and digital solutions, he continues to set the standard for real estate auctions, helping clients secure the best value in a fast-evolving market.

“When they staged our home it felt fresh, modern, and inviting. It made a huge difference in how people viewed the property,” Richard said.

STAGING SELLS YOUR HOME

How Munish’s Approach

Transformed Our Home and Attracted Serious Buyers.

When Richard and Linda Siddall decided to sell their home in North Park, they knew they needed a real estate agent who could bring out the best in their property.

Munish Seth of Barfoot & Thompson Howick was that agent. His strategic use of staging and high-quality marketing helped the Siddalls sell their home for $171,000 over the reserve price— all within four weeks.

The Importance of Staging

One of the first things Munish recommended to Richard and Linda was professional staging. “We were proud of our home with its leather furniture and family photos,” Richard said. “But Munish made it clear that buyers needed to imagine themselves living in the space.”

This attention to presentation wasn’t unique to the Siddalls. Ying Lu, another vendor who worked with Munish, noted his skill in preparing properties for sale: “His professional competence has played a key role in the success of our selling. His communication skills and friendly manner make

him stand out in the market.”

By staging the home, Munish was able to create an environment that appealed to a broader range of potential buyers. “The staged home felt fresh, modern, and inviting,” Richard said. “It made a huge difference in how people viewed the property.”

Marketing to the Right Audience

Once the home was staged, Munish turned his focus to marketing. He used a combination of professional photography, drone footage, and a comprehensive online campaign to showcase the property in the best possible light. “The photos and videos made the home look stunning,” Richard said. “I had family members who couldn’t believe it was the same house!”

Munish’s marketing strategy didn’t just rely on traditional methods. He also used digital platforms to ensure the home reached a wide audience. Jennifer & Vinolan, clients who worked with Munish, remarked: “Munish’s communication was excellent, professional, and not pushy. The process was seamless, and the team was well organized.”

Finding the Right Buyers

Munish didn’t just focus on

marketing—he also took the time to engage with potential buyers and build relationships. “When you’re selling a home, buyers have questions, and they need someone who’s responsive,” Munish said. “I make sure I’m there for them, answering their questions and keeping them engaged.”

This hands-on approach was echoed by Kim Tran, who worked with Munish on multiple occasions: “Munish is always reachable and very prompt in actioning requests. He makes the entire process seamless.”

By keeping buyers informed and involved throughout the process, Munish was able to generate significant interest in Richard and Linda’s home, culminating in a highly competitive auction.

Using Technology for Efficient Communication

as we moved toward the auction.” By using technology to communicate efficiently, Munish ensured that Richard and Linda never felt left out of the process.
