Marketing of Your Property
We utilise a combination of the following strategies:
SMS & E-mail notifications
We currently have over 13,300 potential buyers registered on our
database, SMS and e-mail notifications are sent on a daily basis reaching an average of
7,000 notifications per week.
Website/online marketing
Our website is one of our most powerful marketing tools, containing
extensive information on upcoming auctions and auction procedures. Our website also
includes a virtual tour facility which allows web-visitors to view properties online. We
also promote our auctions through Facebook and Twitter.
Printed media advertisements
Our high-quality media advertisements provide us with good coverage for
local markets as well as high geographic and demographic selectivity.
Auction boards/Billboard advertising
Auction boards and/or billboards are strategically placed in and around
specific areas to reach targeted audiences, providing maximum exposure.
Brochures
We compile an auction brochure that is handed out on the day of the
auction containing important information regarding the sale of the property as well as
photos, maps, zoning certification and the conditions of sale.
Understanding the 3-Step Process
All private sales are subject to acceptance by the seller and not "at the fall of the hammer". By
explanation, we will not sell the property/assets at any price achieved at an auction. The sale is
subject to acceptance by the seller. Should you not want to proceed to auction directly, our
dedicated full time agents can market your property for a period of time and the property can be
sold "out of hand".
Upon receipt of a detailed property description, we will conduct a deed
search, providing us with comparative sales in the area as well as additional property
information.
We would then contact you and set up an appointment to inspect and
photograph the property allowing us to compile an auction proposal containing the
advertising budget, draft media advertisement, conditions of sale, etc.
We then also establish whether the price you are looking for is obtainable in the current
market and advise you in this regard.
We supply you with the auction proposal and exclusive mandate which
needs to be completed, signed and returned with a proof of payment for the advertising
costs as set out in the auction proposal after which we then proceed to auction.
