As the head of Raine & Horne Real Estate Orewa – Whangaparaoa, Lane leads a successful team responsible for representing buyers and sellers of residential and lifestyle properties in Orewa and the wider Hibiscus Coast.

Having worked in real estate since 2009, Lane Sanger has personally sold more than 400 properties, including over 300 in Orewa. This experience has given him extensive knowledge of the local market and the many different factors that can influence a successful sale.

Every property and every owner’s situation is different. Some clients are moving into a retirement village, managing a sale from overseas or selling an investment property with tenants. Others may own a cross-lease or monolithic home, have an unconsented alteration or be dealing with another matter requiring additional care and preparation.

Lane’s experience helps him recognise potential concerns early, guide owners towards the appropriate legal, building or surveying advice and ensure the property is marketed accurately. Addressing these matters before going to market can reduce uncertainty, give buyers greater confidence and place the seller in a stronger negotiating position.

Sellers value Lane for his:

* Extensive knowledge of Orewa and the Hibiscus Coast

* Honest and well-supported pricing advice

* Careful preparation before marketing

* Clear and regular communication

* Strong buyer follow-up and negotiation

* Calm, practical guidance throughout the selling process

Lane has received more than 160 five-star RateMyAgent reviews, with clients frequently commenting on his professionalism, honesty, responsiveness and understanding of the local property market.

For Lane, successful real estate is not only about achieving a sale. It is also about ensuring owners understand their options, feel properly informed and can make confident decisions throughout the process.

Whether you are ready to sell, preparing for a future move or simply want to understand your property’s current position, Lane is happy to provide straightforward advice without pressure.

Naturally, in getting the best possible price for our clients in a timely fashion is paramount. Along with obvious sales, marketing and negotiation skills, there are other areas of high importance. A couple of examples are below.

Example 1. Problematic house in a difficult market.

Whilst your standard brick n tile homes in a desirable location can easily be sold, others are more challenging. Prior to any marketing it is important to be upfront and honest with the seller of the likely challenges that we may face. It is also key to identify the positives and potential of the house. Conveying this message both verbally and through the marketing campaign is paramount to attracting as many potential buyers as possible.

Nothing gives me more pleasure in getting my clients the outcome they want in what can sometimes be challenging circumstances.

Example 2. Marketing Rental Properties that are tenanted.

Often the owners need the income from the tenants to try and mitigate the loss of revenue during the marketing period. So putting on a tenants hat on here for a moment. The tenant is not usually jumping for joy when notified of the property going on the market. It means to them that they are possibly going to have to move in the foreseeable future.

A role I take seriously is to be empathetic to the tenants and create a win win situation for the vendor (my client) and tenant. This is achieved by mutually outlining viewing times, what is expected as far as presentation is concerned and some cases provide sweeteners to the tenants to comply. After all, this can be the difference of a failed campaign or a fantastic outcome by both the seller and tenant.
