Who is looking to buy in your area?
Our experience shows us that there are two distinct types of people in today’s property market.
Dedicated property hunters
These potential purchasers are actively looking to buy in your area and are always on the lookout for available properties They will often be in close competition with similar purchasers in their demographic
Spontaneous property buyers
These potential purchasers are not actively looking, however, when the right property grabs their attention they are suddenly interested
Connecting You with local buyers
National and international presence is crucial to create competition, but with 70 per cent of buyers coming from within a property's suburb or surrounding area, being present locally is critical
Averaging 12,000 visits combined per month, Ray White office websites are the key to your local audience Through search engine optimisation and targeted international database drives Your property campaign on our Ray White office website will showcase your property up in lights and be front and centre for property seekers Our website is mobile user friendly and intuitive so that even the least tech-savvy person can feel like they're right there at the property.
70% of buyers coming from within a surrounding 5km radius
Unrivaled Media Influence
Being part of New Zealand’s leading agency, we have unrivalled buying power across all marketing platforms
This huge advantage gives you complete coverage at market leading prices. Working with the latest, AI technology, print, digital and web platforms we create a bespoke high profile campaign for your home to target specific audiences rather than a scatter gun approach.
Methods of Sale
PRIVATE TREATY AUCTION
The Private treaty method is recommended for properties:
Where time of sale is not an issue
Where the client is most comfortable with a clear price Where marketing budgets are small
Auction method is recommended when:
Where the aim is to achieve a premium price
When it is important to have a set time frame to work with Where the client is comfortable using market demand to help achieve the price
For any property in any market where the client is committed to sell
EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST
Things to know:
Ideal for unique properties which are not directly comparable to many other recent local sales
Properties likely to attract specific buyers
Properties unlikely to attract the broad number of purchasers required for an auction sale, yet similar to an auction campaign there is still competitive pressure to act within a certain time frame
Less than 10% of all properties are sold via Expressions of interest
Selling at Auction
Absence of price reduces the risk of it being rejected on price
What our Customers are saying
“We started working with Murray and Stuart at the beginning of 2023 when we contacted them about a listing they had on the market Murray and Stuart were responsive, approachable, and transparent about the listing
Although this was not the right house for us, they listened carefully to what we were looking for and took charge of our property search
From that moment on, they showed us numerous properties, educated us about the NZ property market, and connected us with excellent property lawyers and other property specialists
As an international couple with three kids buying in NZ for the first time, our search criteria evolved as we saw different properties Murray and Stuart recognised this, identified our priorities, and adjusted their offerings to fit our needs
They were patient, managed our expectations (which were sometimes unrealistic), and were transparent about the best approach in negotiations with potential vendors This allowed us to develop a trusting relationship, resulting in them representing us at the auction, where we secured our new home
We enjoyed working with Murray and Stuart; they have deep knowledge and understanding of the complex and changing Auckland property market, and we highly recommend them to both buyers and vendors”

I just wanted to send our thanks for Stuart and Murray, who have done an exemplary job in marketing my property I fully realise that only a complete schmuck would attempt to sell a property under the current Auckland real estate environment, but I went ahead anyway, and realise that I had landed Stuart and Murray with a very difficult task They were professional and capable and pleasant, and we would not hesitate to engage them again in any future real estate deal So thanks again, and congratulations on having such capable people in your company ”

OUR TOP 6 TIPS:
Spring Clean
Do a thorough clean from the inside, out including walls, windows, skirting boards and every nook and cranny
De-clutter
Your buyer needs to imagine living in the property Ridding clutter visibly increases the room size and better showcases the space
Neutral environment
Decoration tastes are highly personal and we recommend taking a safe, neutral approach to styling
Faultless
Buyers notice everything Fix anything that doesn't work, including doors, windows, light bulbs and taps
Create atmosphere
Pay attention to the temperature and make prospectives buyers feel comfortable
Professional Staging
Well worth the investment. Staging helps present a cohesive look so buyers are able to visualise themselves living at the property
