Choosing a campaign type
Auction
- Suits suburbs with strong buyer competition and clear comparable sales.
- Sets a firm sale date and pushes decisions before the campaign ends.
- Works best with three to four weeks of paid marketing exposure.
- Shows competing bids in the open, in front of every buyer.
Private treaty
- Suits vendors who want a set asking price from day one.
- Gives buyers time to arrange finance without an auction deadline.
- Works well where fewer comparable sales exist to price against.
- Negotiation happens directly between agent and buyer, one offer at a time.
Off-market
- Suits vendors who want privacy or a fast, low-fuss sale.
- Skips public listing costs and keeps the campaign quiet.
- Relies on the agent's existing buyer list instead of open advertising.
- Can miss buyers who never learn the property is for sale.
