Selling homes at auction requires an in-depth understanding of how people behave under pressure. After more than a decade in the property industry, I have developed a strategic ‘roadmap’ to ensure home buyers respond in a way that delivers the best prices for my clients.
Having sold over $200 million worth of property throughout my career, and upholding a 100% auction clearance rate of late, is testament to my work ethic and ability to form strong connections with both buyers and sellers.
Supporting people with homes in Takapuna, Forrest Hill, Castor Bay and Milford, I have gained recognition as a top performing agent for homes located on Auckland’s north shore. Throughout my career, I have enjoyed the many benefits of marketing homes through the Harcourts brand and focused on extracting record results from the auction process.
The home selling approach I use is broken down into three stages. First, we work together to prepare your home and make sure it looks immaculate. Then, my team and I present it to the market and gain maximum visibility through the use of an individualised and highly sophisticated marketing campaign. From there, as prospective buyers take interest, I spend time getting people excited about the property, preparing their own paperwork for the auction, and then giving them the confidence to bid on auction day.
The subtlety of my negotiation style is to be personable yet encouraging. Often it only takes a few small persuasive comments to buyers on auction day to get an incredible result. Using the auction process, I am able to hand you your ‘SOLD’ sticker within three weeks.
Enlist my help and your experience will be stress free. My goal is to ensure you achieve the price you need to enable you to move on to your next chapter in life.
If you own a family home on Auckland’s north shore and want to achieve the best possible price, get in touch with me today.
Andrew has proudly represented New Zealand as an auctioneer and is an integral member of the Harcourts Cooper and Co auctioneering team, leading the “on site” auction business on the North Shore.
Working hard over the last 15 years to hone his craft Andrew is now widely accepted and recognised as one of the country’s leading auctioneers. He has the ability to relax and read a crowd, and is committed to creating an amazing experience for all in attendance. Whether it be a poem or story tailor made to the property or even something as simple as getting the neighbourhood children to ring the auction bell, every action is strategic, designed to create an environment that will put buyers at ease and give sellers the best possible chance of achieving a premium.
Award winning, prepared to go the extra mile, doing what other auctioneers are not prepared to do and having an attitude of gratitude have contributed to Andrew becoming one of the most sought after auctioneers throughout the country. In 2013 he was delighted to win the NZ Real Estate Auctioneer of the Year title and whilst he concedes that competition auctions are different they do test an auctioneers ability to act under supreme pressure and provide a platform to test an auctioneers numerical and legal abilities.
As the auction selling process continues to grow and foster it is Andrew’s hope that sellers will invest significant time in not only selecting the right agent but also the right auctioneer.
