Your property is unique, the way you sell it should be too.

In May 2015 we moved our auction rooms to The Sapphire Room in Ponsonby Central. The decision came from a desire to offer our vendors and purchasers a fantastic space to buy and sell property that was unique. With its high ceilings, recycled wooden floors and air of industrial chic The Sapphire Room has the feel of a cool urban loft. Alive with natural light its industrial windows showcase expansive views across the rooftops to the distant Waitakeres.

We only have one chance to represent your property and we don’t want to leave anything to chance.

Unlike many real estate companies we don’t take a ‘conveyor belt’ approach to auctions, preferring to take our time and work for an outcome that is in the best interests of our clients. Some agencies promote on site auctions as the best way to sell your property, however, we find that controlling the environment - weather, lack of parking on the street, the neighbours lawn mower, plus a lack of professional negotiating rooms means the risks are too great.

When buying or selling property the more knowledge and experience you can gain the better prepared you will be. As well as seeking the expertise of an agent we also advise both sellers and buyers to attend a number of auctions before going through the process themselves. If you want to see Daniel in action then come along to one of our Wednesday night auctions at The Sapphire Room, Ponsonby Central, 5.30pm and also take advantage of all the wonderful restaurants and cafes located in Ponsonby Central.
