Asking price
You set the price you're asking. There's usually room for negotiation, unless it becomes a multi-offer situation.

Selling your property in Invercargill
Let's get you moving.
Most people sell a house a handful of times in their life. The process shouldn't feel like a mystery. Here's how it works when you sell with me.
How selling works
Six steps, start to finish
Here's what I'll be doing at each stage.
- 1
Appraisal
I walk through the property, look at comparable sales, and give you a price range with the reasoning behind it.
- 2
Method and plan
Auction, deadline sale, price by negotiation or asking price. You'll get a clear explanation of what suits your property and why.
- 3
Preparing to list
Photography, floor plan, copy and the marketing schedule. Plus the handful of jobs around the house actually worth doing first.
- 4
On the market
Open homes and private viewings, with feedback from every buyer through the door passed straight back to you.
- 5
Negotiation
Offers, conditions and counters. This is where my years of negotiating experience earn their keep.
- 6
Unconditional to settlement
Conditions satisfied, dates confirmed, keys handed over. I stay in touch right through to settlement day.

How your property gets seen
Marketing built around your property
The right exposure, not just a listing.
No two properties need the same approach. I can happily talk you through the options and recommend the marketing plan and level that suits your property, so you're not paying for exposure it doesn't need, or missing out on exposure it does.
Photography & floor plans
Professional photography, floor plans and copy that show a property at its best.
Online portals
Exposure on realestate.co.nz, Trade Me Property, harcourts.co.nz and the wider Harcourts network.
Targeted digital advertising
Paid social and online advertising to reach buyers actively looking, not just people browsing the portals.
Print & signage
Signage, brochures and print advertising where it suits the property.
A ready list of buyers
Buyers already signed up and watching for properties like yours hear about it first.
Method of sale
Choosing how to sell
The right method for your property.
Deadline sale
Offers are made by a set date and time, and you consider them all. Offers may be accepted early.
Auction
Your property is sold to the highest bidder on the day. Once the hammer falls, it's unconditional.
By negotiation
The price isn't advertised, and negotiation happens directly with interested buyers.
Not sure which suits your property? I'll talk you through the strategy and give you a clear explanation of why.

Selling FAQ
Questions sellers ask me
Ask away.
If yours isn't here, ring or email me. I'm happy to answer it without any expectation that you're about to list.
How long does it take to sell a house in Invercargill?
It depends on the property, the price and the method of sale. I'll give you a realistic timeframe for your property and your street when I appraise it, rather than a number that sounds good.
Does an appraisal cost anything?
No. It's free, and there's no obligation to list afterwards.
Is an appraisal the same as a valuation?
No. An appraisal is a salesperson's estimate of likely market value based on comparable sales. A registered valuation is a formal document prepared by a registered valuer, usually for a bank or legal purpose.
Should I renovate before I sell?
Usually only small things are worth doing. I'll tell you what buyers in your area respond to, and what isn't worth the spend.
