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.
