Tony Sheirlink of Ray White Browns Bay recently asked Stuart Matheson from the Loan Market North Shore to attend three open homes for properties he believed would have a lot of interest and the possibility of multiple offers. He was right!

The first property they received together, 5 offers on the Sunday night. Tony wanted them to have the confidence to offer their best offer, whether that was price or fewer conditions. The 2nd property, a deceased estate, and the 3rd an auction. Tony and Stuart are working together to have buyers in a position to bid on the day.  Stuart secured three appointments and also gave the buyer confidence as to what their preapproval meant, resulting in them making their offer unconditional.

Tony said ‘the vendor of the Auction property was really pleased with the Team approach and the fact Stuart was there  that to sell her property’ Tony added ’that it was a bonus as Stuart was around also helped with the overall security of the property’. 

The unprecedented success of the first Ray White Auction Spectacular in March this year means the landmark series of trans-Tasman super auctions is here to stay. Numerous desirable properties went under the hammer in 25 locations across Australia and New Zealand in events that attracted enormous media attention and achieved extraordinary success in a difficult economic climate.

Over 700 properties were listed for sale and excellent clearance rates achieved across the board, with NZ’s auction generating over $49 million in sales. The event contributed to an outstanding March, during which Ray White generated record sales of $2.57 billion!

The Auction Spectacular brings together the strength of every arm of the Ray White Group, including Residential, Commercial, Rural, Property Management, Loan Market Group and Ray White Concierge.

Any vendors sitting back or adopting a ‘wait and see’ approach are strongly advised to take advantage of interest rates at a 45-year low and plummeting mortgage rates. Strong buying opportunities combined with the fact that selling and buying in the same market generally procures the same net result, make now the ideal time to upgrade or re-locate, with the added advantage of capital growth as the market strengthens.

The stunning success of the first Ray White Auction Spectacular also illustrates that property auctions continue to offer many advantages over private treaty sale. Whether selling a home or commercial property, the auction process has been proven to be the most likely method to attract genuine buyers.

Ray White Broadbeach agent Michael Kollosche has again hit the headlines, this time with the $18 million sale of a beachside mansion on the Gold Coast’s Mermaid Beach.

 The 1,395m² property (pictured) with 32 metres of direct beach frontage was sold to Australian gaming king Bruce Mathieson, who has overseas a $1 billion pub and pokies empire with supermarket giant Woolworths.The six-bedroom, six bathroom, 10-garage prestige property was bought from former skateboard champion Stephen Hill, who paid $20 million dollars for the property in September 2006 and spent a further $10 million building the home.

Mr Kollosche, who sold the property for Mr Hill, said the Gold Coast market had dropped slightly because of the recession: “Prices have obviously dropped a little bit as they have everywhere, but people are starting to get on with it and transact,” he said.

Mr Kollosche, Ray White’s top international salesperson for 2008, has made a habit of targeting the exclusive properties that line Mermaid Beach with a series of high-profile sales next to his name.
