Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, Cam, the next question we're about to ask.
- 0:02Speaker 2: I'm sure our guests will have been asked this question
- 0:05Speaker 2: many times, probably on a weekly basis.
- 0:08Speaker 3: And it's a game changer, right, this could be worth thousands,
- 0:11Speaker 3: it could be worth tens of thousands of dollars.
- 0:14Speaker 4: Yes, in the result, yep.
- 0:16Speaker 3: As to which way.
- 0:16Speaker 2: You go totally and so you obviously if you're selling
- 0:19Speaker 2: your home, selling via optional private treaty. If you decide
- 0:22Speaker 2: to go via private treaty, a question that then comes
- 0:25Speaker 2: up is do you go with like a listed price
- 0:27Speaker 2: from the outset or you know how some of them
- 0:29Speaker 2: say by negotiation?
- 0:31Speaker 1: Do you put that in? And Nick pain Is from
- 0:33Speaker 1: Momentum Property joins us. Now, Nick, good morning, how are
- 0:37Speaker 1: you going?
- 0:38Speaker 4: Good? Now?
- 0:38Speaker 2: Look, in this scenario, which I'm sure is one that
- 0:41Speaker 2: pops up for you all the time, what are some
- 0:43Speaker 2: of the things that you should take into account when
- 0:45Speaker 2: making this decision?
- 0:47Speaker 4: I think it's property is a really big one, Renee, Like,
- 0:50Speaker 4: I think not every property is the same, so you know,
- 0:52Speaker 4: you've really got to take into account some of the
- 0:54Speaker 4: features your home will have, and also just your appetite
- 0:58Speaker 4: for risk, and I guess you want before making a
- 1:01Speaker 4: decision to sell.
- 1:02Speaker 3: Okay, and so is this a decision that you have
- 1:04Speaker 3: to speak to people with about pretty often? Is this
- 1:07Speaker 3: one that comes up all the time, all.
- 1:09Speaker 4: The time, cam all the time. So obviously, like Rene
- 1:12Speaker 4: said before, auction or private treaty, we're probably predominantly auction business,
- 1:16Speaker 4: but we do talk about private treaty all the time
- 1:18Speaker 4: with people and those are the options with private treaty
- 1:21Speaker 4: with a price or without price, and a lot of
- 1:23Speaker 4: that time it means by negotiation. So talking people through
- 1:26Speaker 4: what it actually means and what kind of process you
- 1:28Speaker 4: run with each of them is really important. And so yeah,
- 1:31Speaker 4: we deal with this probably daily.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Okay, what is the riskier of the two.
- 1:38Speaker 4: Well, it depends if we talking about risk edging time
- 1:42Speaker 4: or maybe lost opportunity, But they both work. They both
- 1:45Speaker 4: work really well. It's just having the understanding of what
- 1:47Speaker 4: they are. Obviously, no price means that we're trying to
- 1:51Speaker 4: encourage offers. We're trying to get as many people through
- 1:53Speaker 4: the door as possible and get feedback from the buying
- 1:56Speaker 4: public as to what they think the house might be worth,
- 1:59Speaker 4: and generally that would be the first tactic to move
- 2:03Speaker 4: them to a private treaty. With a price on it.
- 2:05Speaker 3: Okay, and so let's have a look. Let's break that
- 2:07Speaker 3: down a little further. When we're thinking about a listed price,
- 2:10Speaker 3: what are some of the advantages of going to market
- 2:13Speaker 3: with a listed price?
- 2:15Speaker 4: I think the biggest advantage CAMP is the fact that
- 2:17Speaker 4: it's just clarity for buyers straight away. If you're putting
- 2:20Speaker 4: a price out there, especially without a plus, just a
- 2:23Speaker 4: flat listed price, it gives a lot of clarity to
- 2:25Speaker 4: the buyers. It also gives them something to use as
- 2:28Speaker 4: a litmus test, I suppose, as to what they see
- 2:30Speaker 4: value of the house. And so generally, if your priced
- 2:32Speaker 4: really well, you will get a bunch of people through
- 2:35Speaker 4: the house and you'll get offers made relatively quickly on it.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Yeah and okay, so what about my negotiation? What are
- 2:41Speaker 2: the advantages of doing that?
- 2:43Speaker 4: So I think that one RENEE is more so about
- 2:46Speaker 4: trying to get information. So, like I said before, we're
- 2:48Speaker 4: trying to encourage offers and feedback from the public. And
- 2:51Speaker 4: it might be really good if you've got a bit
- 2:52Speaker 4: of a unique property where it's got views, or maybe
- 2:55Speaker 4: it's in a really cool street or something. It's a
- 2:58Speaker 4: little bit of a quirk and you can't quite right,
- 3:00Speaker 4: or if there's not a lot of information to get
- 3:03Speaker 4: the actual listed price right. So by negotiation encourages a
- 3:06Speaker 4: lot of feedback and then you can, I guess, if
- 3:09Speaker 4: you get an offer that's a miles above where everyone
- 3:12Speaker 4: else thinks, you can sell the property that way, or
- 3:15Speaker 4: you can use it for a couple of weeks to
- 3:16Speaker 4: ascertain where you should probably list the price.
- 3:18Speaker 1: And that's what I was going to ask you.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Does that happen often where people start off with by
- 3:23Speaker 2: negotiation for a week or two and then move to
- 3:25Speaker 2: a listed price.
- 3:25Speaker 1: How often does that happen?
- 3:27Speaker 4: Yeah? Absolutely, I think that's the right way to do it.
- 3:30Speaker 4: I know that there's some different different methodologies out there,
- 3:33Speaker 4: but I know that that's how I've predominantly used it
- 3:36Speaker 4: in my career. Is that it's good for the first
- 3:38Speaker 4: maybe two or three weeks, much like an auction, really,
- 3:41Speaker 4: except we just don't have the stress and the date
- 3:44Speaker 4: of the auction coming up to try and force the decision. Yeah.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Okay, well, really interesting and no doubt a situation people
- 3:51Speaker 2: listening currently or have certainly found themselves in at some
- 3:54Speaker 2: stage or will in the future.
- 3:56Speaker 4: Nick.
