Auction Tips for Bexley Sellers
Michael Kalinovski shares his proven strategies for achieving the best auction result in Bexley.
Set a Realistic Reserve
Work with your agent to set a reserve that reflects genuine market value. A well-priced reserve attracts more registered bidders, creates competitive tension, and typically drives the price well above expectations.
Present Your Property Immaculately
First impressions at open homes determine who registers to bid. Professional styling, fresh paint, and decluttering can add real value to your auction result. Buyers bid with confidence when a property feels move-in ready.
Choose the Right Campaign Length
A 3-4 week auction campaign creates urgency without exhausting buyer interest. Too short and you miss serious buyers; too long and the market moves on. Your agent should build momentum each week.
Understand Vendor Bidding
In NSW, one vendor bid is permitted if the property hasn't reached reserve. Your auctioneer should use this strategically to stimulate genuine bids and keep momentum alive.
Create Competition Before Auction Day
The best auction results come from pre-auction competition. Encouraging early offers and building a sense of scarcity ensures multiple registered bidders on the day.
Know Your Post-Auction Options
If the property passes in, negotiations begin immediately with the highest bidder. An experienced auctioneer knows how to convert a pass-in into a strong sale within 24-48 hours.
Marketing Makes the Difference
Premium photography, video tours, and targeted digital campaigns attract more qualified buyers. Properties with professional marketing consistently achieve higher auction results.
Timing Is Everything
Spring and autumn are traditionally strong auction seasons, but local micro-markets can buck the trend. An experienced local agent knows when your specific property type is in peak demand.
