Results Reflect Competition

The best results are forged out of the highest levels of competition. Just as this is true in sport and business; it’s also true in property sales.

When selling, your goal is to get as many buyers as possible to see and visit your property. This speaks to two things: the competition your property has in the market, and the natural competition we create among buyers; from which the best will emerge.

The marketing of your home must therefore be the best it can. That's why I get very focused on doing it professionally, with no short cuts.

The best process for managing the competition among buyers is the auction. It is open and transparent and puts everyone on an even footing:

the same auction time,

the same cash unconditional terms, and

the same settlement date.​

At the auction every buyer knows that they may revise their offer as often as they wish. They come second by choice, not by surprise. As a buyer, there’s nothing worse than being told that for another $1,000 you could have bought the property. The auction process is open and transparent, and all buyers decide where they see value.

The winning buyer, and their bank, take comfort that in winning an auction; they paid only a margin more than others were also prepared to pay. This transparency of true market value is way better than any sealed envelope process where buyers and banks always wonder if they over paid.

Whether buying or selling, I’d choose an auction every time.

Sydney. Stu has been the best long distance relationship we have ever had. Susanne and I resettled in Sydney and decided to sell our house in Swanson and we were fortunate enough to meet Stu. Stu has made the entire process easier than we thought possible. Despite being thousands of km away we always felt up to date, but without being pestered, and Stu just pretty much took care of everything, from getting the lawns mowed, to helping stage the house, to finalising all the paperwork. Stu was warm, honest and just an all-round great guy to deal with, both for us and everyone who encountered him. We would have no hesitation in making an unreserved endorsement. If you want to sell your house, whether you live around the corner or across the globe, Stu is the guy to get it done.
