Why sell your home by auction? An honest guide.

By Tihana Vlasich

“Auction” can feel like a big, stressful word. But “honestly,” in our experience, it’s the best, simplest, and most transparent way to get the best possible price for your home.

As your local Glen Eden team, we’re auction experts. Let’s “take the hard work out of it” and explain why.

1. It creates competition and finds the real value

An auction brings all your interested buyers together, at the same time, in one place. That “energetic” competition is what gets you the top price. An auction doesn’t just find a buyer; it finds the best buyer who is willing to pay the most to secure your property.

2. You’re in control

An auction is a “simple” 3-4 week campaign with a clear end date. You set the terms, you set the reserve price, and you know exactly when your property will be sold. This gives you certainty and lets you plan your next move with confidence.

3. It’s “honest” and transparent for everyone

The best part about an auction is that it’s all out in the open. Every bid is public, and everyone can see what’s happening. It’s fair for buyers and a low-stress, “human” process for you. There’s no complicated back-and-forth negotiating; it’s just a clear, simple process.

Is an auction right for your home?

If you’re curious about whether an auction is the right fit for your Glen Eden home, give us a bell. We can talk you through the process, with no obligation, and give you an “honest” appraisal.
