Methods of Sale<br />

The three most common methods of sale in<br />

Australia are auction, private treaty and by tender<br />

or expression of interest.<br />

1. Public Auction<br />

Recommended for properties:<br />

• In a high demand market<br />

• Likely to encourage competitive bidding between multiple<br />

buyers<br />

• Where it is preferable to let the market determine the price<br />

• Where creating deadlines for purchasers will limit<br />

procrastination<br />

• Where an unconditional sale is desired<br />

• With a strict marketing budget and a specific time frame<br />

2. Private Treaty<br />

Recommended for properties:<br />

• Where the asking price is very clear and can be set as a<br />

guide<br />

• Which are not unique and are quite easily comparable to<br />

other properties<br />

• Where time is not essential in the sale equation<br />

3. Tender / Expressions<br />

of Interest<br />

Recommended for properties:<br />

• That are special and unique and not directly comparable to<br />

many other recent local sales<br />

• Likely to attract specific buyers<br />

• Unlikely to attract the broad number of purchasers required<br />

for an auction sale, yet similar to an auction campaign where<br />

there is competitive pressure to act within a set time frame
