This is an assessment I’ve made through recent personal observations of consultants from a myriad of different companies, in addition to ‘coalface’ participation, and as a result I’m now prioritizing the teaching of negotiation methods. It is, after all, a skill that benefits from practice, and all skills are improved through training and diligence. It’s not necessarily easy and, for some consultants, it’s just too confronting to move people from their expectations. In previous markets, especially in the days when house purchases flowed off the back of large insurance payouts, very little negotiation may have actually been required, especially regarding price. But not now. In the current market, not negotiating effectively prevents everyone from meeting at the point of compromise and can prevent a result. Little wonder it is so important to get a skilled negotiator. History has taught me that every owner (myself included) wants the best/highest price and this may or may not be a realistic price. Accompanying this is the fact that every buyer wants to pay the fairest/lowest price, not necessarily the asking price. There you have it: the dichotomy of any sales process. With property, all the odds are particularly large, so the stakes are high – as are the emotions. The solution lies with effective negotiation and here are some of the practices and philosophies supporting that process. To be an exceptional negotiator requires strong communication skills, both through listening and through clearly and empathetically discussing both sides of a situation, emphasis on both! There are three documented phases to negotiation: 1. Preparation Which looks at the intention of each party, for example, as set out in a contract. In real estate that’s seen in the presentation of an offer where negotiations can be required to move the two parties to a point of acceptance. 2. Development This could be where specific clauses are determined, the all-important price is considered, and specific points of view or conflict are argued and defended. Some consultants excel at this. 3. Closing Just as it states, all parties have matters done (or not), they understand what has transpired and then everything is recorded in writing. Now this whole process might take minutes, hours, a day. I’ve seen negotiations go on for a week and the clinical description I’ve detailed overlooks the massive emotional weight that comes to bear. It can involve tears, conflict and disappointments, but it can also be an incredibly satisfying and happy event. It’s therefore critical to know your agent has the skill to navigate the often choppy waters of negotiation. I'll be doing my utmost to ensure they do.

NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Tuesday October 15 2019 9 Growing fruit in the 19th century Papanui Heritage Group chairman Murray Williams – with research from Christine Grant – writes about the orchardist Frederick William Cone PAPANUI WAS first settled because of the attraction of the Papanui Bush, which provided timber for the nearby Christchurch market. However, the native forest was quickly cut out, although it was soon discovered that once drained, the land would support farming and horticulture. From the 1860s, Papanui became a centre for orcharding and eventually the necessary infrastructure was developed. For example, the arrival of the railway link with Christchurch in 1872 was a major advantage, as was the later development of cool stores, which helped in the more orderly marketing of the area’s apple crop. Many tried their luck as orchardists. One such individual was Frederick William Cone. Born in 1866 at Ashley Downs, he did not enter this industry until his mid-40s, having trained as a saddler and worked in this business in several towns, ranging from Rangiora and Kaiapoi and later in New Plymouth and Inglewood. He married Helen (Nellie) Wilson in 1888 and the couple had a family of 12, eight of whom survived childhood. In 1910 he purchased five acres at Langdons Rd in Papanui and established himself as a producer of apples, pears and plums. His eight daughters all worked in the orchard, which came to be known popularly as the ‘Garden of Eden’. Apples graded as exportworthy were sent to the United States for a return of £1 per case. The property featured a large two-storey house with two internal staircases, although when the reticulation of electricity became available, only the ground floor was connected as the cost of installation precluded this luxury upstairs. An artesian well provided good quality water for the home and orchard. Cone’s land was to play an important part in the future of Papanui. In 1945 it was sold and became part of the site on which The Firestone Corporation built its tyre factory that became a large ESTATE: The Cone homestead, where Papanui orchardist Frederick Cone and his family lived. Papanui employer. The land formerly owned by Cone was eventually donated to the city of Christchurch by Bridgestone, the company which had purchased the Firestone plant until it too withdrew from Papanui. It is this land beside the railway that is now the subject of a project to replant the area with native trees and will hopefully bring back the native birds which once thrived in the original bush. The venture is being led by Papanui Rotary and the city council, as well as other local organisations including the Papanui Heritage Group. New life for artist’s old home WORK IS underway to adapt the former home in Richmond of acclaimed Christchurch artist Bill Sutton into a house museum and community centre. The Templar St home, in the red zone, will be gifted to the city council by the Crown after the restoration project is complete to allow Sutton’s legacy to live on. Land Information New Zealand chief executive Gaye Searancke says the restoration of the significant site, protected by a covenant, marks the start of wider regeneration plans for the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor. “It’s an honour for LINZ to be involved in this project which, once complete, will bring new life to this special home,” said Ms Searancke. “As kaitiaki of this land, we are always looking for new ways to support the use of the residential red zone, and this is just another way we can help make that happen.” The trust plans to use the facility to run tours about the life and work of Sutton and run a range of community programmes and public meetings. The restoration is expected to be completed and the facility opened to the public in March.
